I know l've mentioned this before, but during my trial i was found not guilty on the use of mace charge after I was able to prove I deployed my mace against the proud boys in self defense and defense of property, and that I was assaulted first. When I was first assaulted by PBs, I was filming a flag burning and it was entirely unprovoked. I did however get found guilty on felony riot just for being there, despite all the evidence showing why I was there and what I was doing. The prosecutor still painted
me to be the ring leader of antifa and "leading chargers" that day against PBs. The trial itself was absolute hell. The time leading up to it was hell. They sent me to jail where I spent two weeks in maximum security and I now am on 2.5 years of probation.
Earlier this week, local Proud Boy Berry Johnson plead guilty to his charges stemming from that same day before his trial was set to begin. Although during my trial the prosecutor argued that the definition of someone "participating" in a riot included just simply speaking to people who may have different intentions, Berry did not receive this charge. By that definition, anyone present would have been a "participant." The fact that a few dozen publicly identified proud boys who were there and brutally assaulting people who received no charges aside, Berry Johnson was only charged with a misdemeanor. Not only was he acting violently throughout the day and instigating violence, but the situation he caught charges on he assaulted an older gentleman and pulled a knife on him along with tearing up his banner.
Mind you after I had my lawyer tell them I would *only* possibly entertain noncooperative plea deals, in the three years of dealing with this case before it went to trial I was only ever offered one plea deal- which was to plead guilty to all my chargers and do a month in jail lol.
Fully fascist state, full stop, masks off. They’re saying the quiet part out loud. I’m not surprised by this, but going through it is beyond dystopian.
This is why the mainstream media has a far-right bias.
If you are not an American and can't understand why this election is so close, this is why.

Netanyahu claims he bombs hospitals because they're "Hamas command centers."
But an independent UN inquiry investigated Israeli bombings of 110 hospitals & found 0 evidence of such. Israel could not provide any such evidence either.
These are war crimes.

So disappointed that the owner of the LA Times refused to allow his editorial board to endorse a presidential candidate this election year too.

This will be a close race! I am hoping #KamalaHarris wins #NorthCarolina as it would provide a small buffer just in case she loses #Michigan, #Wisconsin or #Pennsylvania.

One of the things that worries me most about the next election is tech. The two biggest threats to tech companies right now are anti-trust and regulation (both of which they wholly need and deserve). Their business models rely on exploitation, and GenAI is basically just copyright infringement as a service.
They see Trump as an easy path to a world in which tech CEOs get to play kings. Not only is Trump pro-deregulation, but will likely also try to gut the DOJ and several other agencies out of spite for coming after him, and those agencies just so happen to be the ones that also handle antitrust.
I think Elon might have actually had a psychological breakdown and become completely untethered from reality, but the rest of the tech CEOs and founder suddenly putting their weight behind Trump is a very deliberate attempt to use him as a tool to weaken the federal government's ability to keep them in check.

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
