ARRESTED OVER A MEME. NOW HE'S FIGHTING BACK.
Doug Mackey became the face of government weaponization after being prosecuted over a satirical Hillary Clinton meme that jokingly suggested supporters could "text" their vote.
A Brooklyn jury convicted him. A federal judge sentenced him to prison.
Then the Second Circuit Court of Appeals stepped in and threw the case out entirely.
Now Mackey says he's seeking damages from @TheJusticeDept after what he calls years of political persecution.
"They tried to throw me in prison for a joke."
The question remains: If a meme can get you arrested, what does that say about free speech in America?

🚨HOLY CRAP!!!
A former Charlotte NC City Councilmember and BOTH of her daughters have now pleaded GUILTY to stealing over $124,000 in COVID relief money...
...for LAVISH BIRTHDAY PARTIES, HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGES, AND A THRONE!!!
Prosecutors say she and her daughters, Tijema Brown and Antionette Rouse, filed at least 15 FAKE loan applications for businesses that DID NOT EXIST, using forged tax documents, to drain pandemic relief funds meant for struggling Americans.
They got a mind-boggling $124,000.
They spent it on Louis Vuitton bags and a $15,000 BIRTHDAY PARTY with horses, thrones, fancy gifts.
And this isn't her first time.
Tiawana Brown is a CONVICTED FELON who already served federal prison time for fraud, years before Charlotte NC voters put her on the City Council.
This week, the last of the three, her daughter Antionette, pleaded guilty. She admitted to pocketing astonishing $51,000 by herself..
All three have now admitted it. All three are guilty.
She is looking at up to 20 years in prison.
ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!!!
@kylephoenix419@RealSpitfire@MLB All that is required is a search of jewish owners in the MLB, NFL, NBA, NWBA....you would think they would be against this, it's obvious they support it. Why?
@RealSpitfire@MLB Pro sports is a Govt sponsored racket. How much do they receive from NGO's, no taxes, taxpayer funded stadiums, I would be willing to bet most of these tickets were give aways!
There’s a really nice 3 story beach house in 30A that has a giant banner dedicated to @johnthune and it’s absolutely hilarious. The bottom of it demands that he pass the Save America Act.
Interesting pattern I keep noticing. The left says he is targeting political opponents. I noticed three things about all of these people.
Every person Trump is supposedly "targeting" happens to check all three of these boxes: furious that the NGO gravy train got shut down, LOUDLY against DOGE finding fraud, AND has active whistleblowers reporting they are actually committing — or knowingly allowing — fraud.
What a remarkable coincidence.
Very political, indeed. 🤔
But what do I know — I am only a science teacher who notices patterns.

HUGE SCANDAL IS BREWING IN CA…AND ITS DELICIOUS!
Gavin Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, funneled nearly $4 MILLION from her nonprofit (The Representation Project) straight into her own pockets:
• $1.8M+ in salary
• $2.1M+ to her own production company (Girls Club Entertainment)
Much of it came from donors who also fund Gavin’s political machine.
Now the DOJ is investigating.
This is the same Gavin Newsom who lectures everyone about “equity” and “women’s rights” while his family allegedly treats a nonprofit like a personal ATM.
Where’s the outrage from the media that protects him?
RT if you want real accountability. California deserves better.
