https://archive.ph/eRg8I Autumn Hill had already gone home when a protest outside an ICE facility turned violent. She was still sentenced to 50 years, over twice as long as any Jan. 6 defendant

Autumn Hill, also known by her drag handle Lady Hell, is a neuroqueer self-advocate with a special interest in all things taboo, an enchanted materialist, and an explorer of the further regions of experience. She likes stories in the genres of reimagined ancient myth, new weird, gothic horror, splatterpunk, and messy queer romance, and is an avid student of world history, religious, economic, and political. She plays grand strategy and action roleplaying video games like Crusader Kings 3 and Elden Ring in the Free World, and roleplays on the tabletop as often as she can get co-players in jail

    Concentration camps for foreigners and racial undesirables, political prisoners put away forever for thoughtcrimes, mass surveillance by the government, theocracy on the rise … never thought I’d see it, or any part of it, in my lifetime in the US.

      The right likes to blame Obama for how they had to vote for the likes of Donvict. While they are often just trying to gaslight Democrats (they think), it turns out they are really telling on themselves.

      Because Obama being President utterly broke their brains.

      Especially given that he had TWO terms even after all their stupid bleating over him being “unvetted” and not showing his long form birth certificate. What made it even worse for them was that he was so capable after the 8 year debacle that was W.

        All the stuff about his birth certificate or potentially being born abroad was totally irrelevant anyway since his mother was a citizen at the time of his birth. The constitution is very clear that citizenship is inherited at time of birth with no additional requirements or hoops to jump through. Literally the only exception for birth citizenship is if your parent is a visiting foreign dignitary. And even then, if one of your parents is a citizen, then so are you.

    They weren’t building those ‘detention centers’ for the immigrants. That’s a convenient cover until they’ve captured every lever of power. Within reach, or they’ll make it so before or when elections don’t go their way, if those still matter. Dissent is terror.

      Right. Trump goes home from an insurrection he organized, it turns violent, and he gets the presidency. Autumn does something similar for a basic protest without an insurrection angle, and gets 50 years.

      Yes, both sides. The one cannot exist without the other. We have all seen how hard the democratic party fights against any progressive candidate that wants to make real change. And when the dems are in control, they do nothing to protect us from the GOP. Even when it is favored by the majority of americans. They are enablers.

          They’re not arguing that both do the samr thing. They are arguing that Side A and Side B do different things, and that the things Side A does gives the ability for Side B to do theirs. In other words Side B could never get this many points if Side A did not do theirs.

          Dumb example of the opposite - if the whole of the Democratic party starts today campaigning on Meducare for All, No aid to Israel, Withdraw from Iran, impeach Trump and Co and throw them in jail, they’ll win both chambers and if they follow through, this fascist wave will be halted within months. By not doing that, they allow fascism to continue killing, maiming and jailing people. This is what Side A is doing. It’s not the same as B, but B cannot win without A.

          Responding with catchphrases and personal attacks. You sound like someone who has nothing of value to add, but can’t stop themselves from posting a comment anyway.

      Seeing that the second paragraph is about marketing the person and not discussing the injustice at hand, I find it very upsetting and hard to support. What is a neuroqueer anyway? Are we still inventing new genders in 2026?
