“I run the protection program, I’ll protect you,” House Speaker Mike Johnson tells a room packed with members of the Epstein Class.
To say this on camera reflects way too much sense of impunity.
i think people from the US officially lost their right to being smug and mock chinas authoritarian surveillance state the past decade or so
you have AI flock cameras, palantir, massive surveillance state, being slave to billionaires, cant even touch a pool of water
BREAKING: 8 people have been sentenced combined 450 years in prison for peacefully protesting outside ICE Facility
More years than any American has been sentenced over the Epstein Files
The Supreme Court has sided with the maker of Roundup weedkiller, blocking thousands of lawsuits alleging it failed to warn users the product could cause cancer. https://t.co/cmfg5x68jb
NEW: You could end up on a watchlist for fighting back in the class war.
The feds now consider opposition to data centers, inequality, and Big Tech as potential domestic terrorism.
We uncovered how the FBI is colluding with corporate America to surveil ordinary Americans.
A reminder that if they give out life sentences for this, actually blowing up buildings and downing cops leaves one in exactly the same position. "Go big or go home", the state seems to be saying. We'll see what kind of society shakes out from that.
Both these headlines are from Texas this month.
Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.
“Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”
The FBI was invented primarily in the first red scare to persecute anarchists and they have not stopped since. They hid evidence and colluded with the judge to get these convictions as well as banned any self defense arguments for no reason.
Update: 8 Texas protesters were sentenced today, following a July 4 noise demo outside an ICE detention center.
The maj. were sentenced to 50 years in prison
2 were sentenced to 70 & 100 years, respectively
The last, who wasn't even at the protest, was sentenced to 30 years.
To note, the Prairieland sentences are more than several times higher than the ELF during the Green Scare.
They outrun essentially any other crime apart from pre-meditated murder.
Purely political. I don't see this as the end, the way this is going...
If you're into the electoral thing:
The barest bare minimum for any presidential candidate in 2028 should be mass clemency for every person persecuted by the feds. All of them, from the Prairieland defenders to the Spokane 3 to middle of the road dems like McIver and Dugan.
These sentences are a travesty and totally unjustified, but that's the point. Americans hate the fascist Trump regime, so the only way they can try to cling to power is brute force. NSPM-7 is a grave threat to all of us and more bullshit "terrorism" charges like these are coming. https://t.co/LBREZVVY6D
