So Apparently We're Not Doing The First Amendment Anymore

Protesters have been sentenced to decades in prison in Texas for opposing the MAGA regime

wish I could say it was shocking that I am writing this, but honestly it's not. It's infuriating. It's humiliating as a citizen. But honestly it's on par with the bullshit this regime has been pulling as of late.

The defendants are being labeled as "Antifa Terrorists" by the Texas AG, which is another step in the growing threat of the government attacking political enemies for being part of a fake organization. This kind of dangerous behavior from the government is exactly the kind of thing we're here to stand against.

Apparently the group had a weapons cache, which is apparently fine if you're some kid going to a BLM protest to shoot protestors. And it's fine to bring them to the goddamn capitol to try and overturn an election. But not when it comes to protecting yourself against the brutality of the regime.

Keep protesting the regime's bullshit in whatever way you can. Vote, create, speak out. Every little bit against the regime is a win. We cannot allow this kind of political retribution become the status quo in this country. The government is attacking its own people repeatedly and it's our responsibility to stop them and hold these criminals accountable for the brazen attacks on civil liberties. Every day these bastards hold political power is another day this country's ideals die.

We can destroy this regime with unity. Take care of the people around you and we can tear down the tyranny of the MAGA regime. They win by making us think we're alone. We have friends everywhere. LA, DC, Minneapolis, Elizabeth, and every other place that have had major ICE occupations know how important this unity is. We can stand together and fight back.
