      A life sentence for protesting.

      This is America.

      Our Constitution is effectively over and a frightening percentage of Americans aren’t even aware, or don’t even care.

      Personally, I’m crossing my fingers for Balkanization. Staying chained to this sinking ship is not wise.

      Two people who weren’t even there, who never discussed the illegal acts, who were only in a group chat where people discussed attending a legal protest, were sentenced to 50 years.

      But they were trans women in Texas. So the jury had no problem sending them to a men’s prison without any crimes being committed.
