I’ve actively boycotted Texas since before I could drive specifically for reasons like this. I have since detoured 1000s of miles around just to avoid driving through Texas and subsequently to Okalahoma. -The only two states I refuse to ever step foot in. I also try not to buy things manufactured in Texas.
For those of you not aware of details like me, here’s a summary. One of the protestors shot a cop with an AR-15. I can’t see a proper justification as to why the rest of them received such harsh sentences though.
After a three-week jury trial, the nine activists were all found guilty of a slew of criminal charges in March, stemming from a Fourth of July protest at an immigrant detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, south of Fort Worth. The demonstrators arrived late at night with a plan to set off fireworks as part of a noise demonstration to show solidarity with those detained inside. A few of the protesters spontaneously broke off from the main group and vandalized cars in the parking lot, a guard shack, slashed the tires on a government van and broke a security camera. When a police officer arrived on the scene and drew his weapon, one of the activists fired an AR-15, hitting the officer in the shoulder. The officer survived.
“land of the free”
So I guess Texas is the Frontline for fascism. I don’t ever plan on going there again though but that doesn’t mean the front line isn’t expanding, I feel like it’s the testing grounds for this bullshit.
Meanwhile, the Jan 6ers are just pardoned…
The assholes that actually fucked up a bunch of Federal property and attacked law enforcement are just free to go.
I don’t recognize those corrupt pardons. Time for the rest of the nation to take that perspective.
So what are you going to do?
Continue to socialize these ideas so that when they come to fruition they don’t seem as radical as they do at first.
Vote from the tree line at 3AM.
we’re gonna hold you down and tickle your belly till you give up the goods
US district judge Reed O’Connor called the protest an “assault on democracy” before he and another judge handed down lengthy prison sentences last week to eight others who were convicted on terrorism charges.
Quite the projection.
I will vote for anyone that proposes trying these judges with treason
Ah, a single-issue voter, I see.
jk
how the actual fucking fuckity is asserting your first amendment rights a fucking terrorism charge?? JFC. FUCK THESE CUNTS.
Reed O’Connor deserves every kind of cancer. That piece of shit shouldn’t be allowed to sleep soundly ever again.
He deserves a traitor’s death.
Cool and normal 👍
These will all get appealed and reduced / eliminated right?
No, it’s going to spread. The $240 billion, making ice the third most well funded army in the world (right under China), is so they can try to do this to 1/3 of the population. You ever say anything about how you don’t like the government, in a text message or a forum or an email? That’s what these people did.
The government has been collecting all of that for two decades. Both parties renewed it every time it came up. Most people said “I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m not worried about it.”
Not a single Epstein arrest though
priorities, poor & struggling first. Then if it’s not f too full off to prison club med, lol jk they ain’t gonna get shit done till you can unite the citizens, till then orange pig breathes w/wealthy appetizers
I mean Epstein himself, and Ghislaine Maxwell, were arrested
It’s certainly interesting that the only conviction in this entire pedophile ring was one single woman.
Case closed!
This is why I boycott businesses from traitor states as much as I can. I don’t want a single cent going to those evil cocksuckers.
Congrats non-voters. This is what you enabled.
Every democracy in the world has non-voters. What makes the US non-voters so special?
It’s a fucking popularity contest and you’re deluding yourself if you think voters can be disciplined.
Yeah, thank you, non-voters, for fully removing the mask and bringing the friction needed to become socialist.
The pain USA is going through, economical and the impotence of seeing a blatant corrupt government laughing at your face, is nowhere close to 1% of what we, Mexicans, Latin Americans, and people in the Middle East have gone through thanks to American influence and corruption.
It is what you needed to finally understand the pain you were causing. If Kamala won, you’d probably just ignore anything related to politics for 4 years just the same way you did with Biden. Only the Gaza issue received a lot of attention, because it was very noisy, and very hard to ignore. But if you ask people what Joe Biden did most of his time as president, I am sure most people won’t be able to tell you much. One of the first comments I saw on Reddit when Joe Biden won in 2020 and gave a speech, and I still remember this comment idk why, said something like “I am glad politics are boring again. Elegance is back and all that.” Like, at the time it was no big deal, I felt the same, that things would start getting repaired. I could “blindly trust Biden” and move on. I stopped paying attention to his actions. I do remember him forgiving student debt, and some other positive things like those, but, it was never enough. I could see there was still a lot he could do but wasn’t doing it, but I stood quiet, because maybe things were more complex than they appeared to be.
But then you saw their true colors. You saw Kamala doing campaign ads like this one which only gave ammo to Republicans, they’d say “See?!?! Even Kamala agrees the border is not safe. Those darn Mexicans need to be deported!” Or this one, where she whitewashes Israel very effectively. This one is probably the worst. She promises to keep America as the “World Police,” when we all know it’s a terrorist. At that point, she’s just Trump 2.0, but more deadly, because you’d not pay attention to her after she won. This was natural. It was meant to happen. Now it’s the perfect time to push for socialist ideas, which is what you actually need; no more corrupt capitalism.
Kamala was not even your candidate, man. You did not select her. You are NOT a Mega Donor. You aren’t part of the group of people that gave her millions of dollars to pay for her ads, campaign, her presence. Almost no politician in your life was chosen by you, really, until recently, with democrat socialists like Zohran Mandami, Claire Valdez, Melat Kiros, among others who relied 100% on your donations and not AIPAC or such. Before 2024, you were all so comfortable choosing politician A which appeals to empathy, or politician B which appeals to sympathy, both with a touch of apathy for the other, both ready to answer the interests of the elite, not yours.
It was about time it imploded so you could finally feel it and realize you need to pay attention and change. Stop blaming non-voters for this. Blame the democratic party, for being so corrupt, and for failing the people for too long. I can already tell you hate republicans, which is good, you’re already better than half of the country. Instead of guilt-tripping non-voters in 2026, promote socialist alternatives.
Otherwise, if you still show blind support for the democrats, that’s Blue MAGA. “Vote blue no matter who” is a terrible 1984-esque slogan. Change it to:
- “Vote for people, not parties.”
- “Loyalty to the people, not the party.”
- “People first, parties second.”
- “Represent us or lose us.”
- “Vote for the policies and actions, not because the candidate has a D next to their name.”
Anything but more Gavin Newsoms or Chuck Shummers, please. They fucking suck. I’ve seen so much blatant corruption here in Mexico. Mexican politicians are way more cynical with their lies and smiles. Gavin Newsom radiates that energy to me. Dude is filled with lies and corpo. Please, do not do it. Do not shill for that motherfucker. You will just prolong the pain.
One last important thing I just remembered: AI companies are buying libraries to use the physical books, written by human beings, to train their LLMs and then burn the books. No more dealing with copyright issues. They want to gatekeep not only your hardware like they seem to be heading to, consoles and PC hardware becoming a subcription/cloud-based service, but also education. You only buy a monitor and Internet at home. They will gatekeep knowledge; only those who can pay for it will get to see the real human-written texts, the rest get to deal with a buggy assistant that hallucinates, and an Internet filled with AI-generated nonsense. Covid dumbed down young generations’ average IQ by decades; I remember that headline, we lost like 70 years of progress or something like that. Children are less prepared than ever. They’d play videogames while in the Zoom Call with the camera turned off, it was easy to lie, cheat more easily, get distracted more easily. Add the tiktok trends to that, the videos of teachers crying and quitting because they can’t bear those petulant spoiled brats anymore…
Call me an accelerationist if you want. I prefer that than staying idle and rotten of old age like my grandparents and parents did, leaving the next generations like us completely vulnerable to these monsters. This is why I heavily distrusted Kamala, because she’d keep us “comfortable enough to be compliant to everything they’re doing behind scenes.” That’s what the democratic party has proven to be doing for literally over 50 years now, and you still come here and blame non-voters? No. I refuse to blame non-voters. They are on the right side. It’s not their fault all this is happening, and it is incredibly cynical and insane to insinuate it is. And yeah yeah, I am a Mexican, I can’t even vote, but I can opine, and I care more about your politics because they heavily influence my country’s fate. I was always told to fix my country first, and that’s what I’m trying to do. You’re like our big brother, and everything you do, Mexico mimicks it for some reason.
Yeah not going to read all that.
Seems like you’re trying to convince yourself more than anyone else.
I hope it haunts you.
I am not the one with millions of innocent lives’ blood in their hands like you. Nothing haunts me, because I am not a terrorist piece of shit who exploits, kills and abuses minorities like Americans do.
This is why you will never have even a quarter of what the average baby boomer had at your age, like 7+ children, a home at 19 years old, economic stability, or at least a happy family of four without a college degree. What happened? Are they smarter, work harder, or what?
If you’re this lazy to read a few paragraphs, you are worthless overall. Nothing of what you said is probably backed up with well-read sources, just vibes and headlines. You’re just reactionary like MAGA. You’re Blue-MAGA.
B b but Genocide Joe…

Edit: I don’t think people understand I was agreeing with the parent comment.
You mean the senator arguably most responsible for packing the supreme court. Who was previously known as Jim Crow Joe due to his drafting of the '94 crime bill, close friendship with literal KKK grand wizards, and fighting tooth and nail to keep Deleware segregated.
Who’s been saying, publicly and out loud, since 1976 that some of his goals in politics is to end social security and is “conservative on the topic of abortions”. One of which was accomplished during his presidency.
It’s hard to understate the level of historical amnesia on what an evil bastard that man has always been.
don’t forget he was the self-described tough-on-crime senator, that also voted against the last real attempt to end the electoral college, and later when he ran for president he promised “fundamentally nothing will change.” in addition to that he helped write the legislation to prevent student loans from being discharged via bankruptcy. -His failed student loan forgiveness effort was meant to temporarily solve a major problem of his own making.
[addendum]
“The answer isn’t less police, It’s more police”
Oh fuck off. None of you would keep this kind of energy in front of a Palestinian who abstained from voting.
Instead of blaming millions of people, isn’t it easier and more productive to blame the democrat who lost to trump?
No? I’m not sure what your argument is. Kamala losing was a group effort.
The answer is yes. You seem confused.
Oh, you were serious. And kind of rude.
You’re allowed to be rude on the internet, dunno if you knew that.
Kamala losing was Kamalas choice. She ran a campaign aimed at republicans and centrists, instead of, you know, her actual base of support.
it was also biden’s fault. If he knew he wasn’t going to run again, he should have stepped down and let Kamala show how capable she is or isn’t.
He said in 2020 when he won that he would just do the single term and then retire.
For sure.
It’s literally the first rule of this community to not be a dick. Dunno if you knew that.
Kamala took her base for granted, which is true. But those voters still chose to not show up just as they did with Hillary. It took a lot of people’s apathy to get where we are now. It wasn’t all just one person.
Right, if my 2 choices were for genocide, I’m voting 3rd party. Many many people feel the same way, and Kamala knew that, and decided to continue support for genocide, and try and appeal to republicans.
The blame lies squarely on her and the Dem establishments shoulders.
Hope they all get their sentences reduced.
Reduced? I want them overturned on appeal, compensated for the harm done to them, and the judge to see consequences for such a gross miscarriage of justice.
Judge should be removed from the bench in a disgraceful manner. This is weaponization of the law for political purposes.
Democrats should be running on pardoning everyone but the guy who shot a cop.
Including the guy who shot the cop. He saved lives and the cop didn’t even die. Literally best case scenario.
Wait what’s the story here? I must have missed this one
Not sure on specifics but cop was apparently aiming at an unarmed crowd.
Edit: this is a good time to remind people that most stand your ground and castle doctrine laws specifically say you’re not allowed to defend yourself against a cop or a landlord.
Fuck cops and landlords. What a perfect match of scumbags to group together.
100 years for that seems pretty steep
Nah free song
and the uniparty will moan about it for a few days and then do nothing
Describe what you want them to do.
