      50 years for being in the group chat that discussed attending the protest, but not actually attending. Note, there was no discussion of shooting a cop in these group chats. The two people I’m talking about are trans women though.

      So I guess 50 years of rape in a male prison, for being in the chat while trans.

    Anyone who thinks the U.S. legal system has anything to do with justice is living in a fantasy world.

    It has long been broken beyond repair, and now it is being used in a particularly unscrupulous manner by a fascist regime—not merely to get away with the most serious crimes, but to make them possible in the first place.

    As a result, conditions are becoming more and more like those in Russia, China, Israel, or North Korea—and, to be honest, they hardly differ anymore: The U.S. is definitely a state where injustice reigns.

    Edit: The Lego scandal videos by Reckless Ben, for example, illustrate this point very well—albeit on a much smaller scale—if, given all the corruption and the fact that the regime is still in power rather than locked up in prison, any other examples are even needed.

      Might as well add japan to that list. They can hold you without reason in jail for 21 days then restart those 21 days infinitely. Also, prison and death sentence is brutal. Calling the police frequently results in you becoming the criminal in their eyes.
