    1. From the article:

      > The arrest of a US army veteran who protested against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown has raised alarms among legal experts and fellow veterans familiar with his service in Afghanistan.
      >
      > Bajun Mavalwalla II – a former army sergeant who survived a roadside bomb blast on a special operations mission in Afghanistan – was charged in July with “conspiracy to impede or injure officers” after joining a demonstration against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) in Spokane, Washington.
      >
      > Legal experts say the case marks an escalation in the administration’s attacks on first amendment rights. Afghanistan war veterans who know him say the case against Mavalwalla appears unjust.

    2. Love this totalitarian hell hole we’re creating. Real great stuff guys. Can’t wait to see how bad it gets.

    3. They’re just going to keep prosecuting us and adding to the simmer, until it boils over and he can weaponize the military fully.

      No room for differing opinions or dissent in this administration. Think like the MAGAts or get culled.

    4. Stuff like this is getting more common. Just feels weird seeing people get arrested over protests, especially vets. It’s like you gotta be extra careful about what you say or do now.

      Welcome to fascist America.
      We cannot vote our way out of this now.
      Trump is going to run for 3rd term, and he is just the visible symptom of the greater problem.

      Fuck you for your service! In Trumpistan they don’t care about you if you don’t worship your Supreme Leader.

    7. > “Mavalwalla was not charged with obstruction or assault. Instead, he was charged with “conspiracy to impede or injure officers”. According to the indictment, Mavalwalla and his co-defendants “physically blocked the drive-way of the federal facility and/or physically pushed against officers despite orders to disburse and efforts to remove them from the property”.

      >”The conspiracy count carries a maximum penalty of six years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release.”

      For locking arms with others, to block a gate, a well established form of peaceful protest/disobedience…..

      Proud to support this hero of the Republic.

      Meanwhile, Pootins Pedo Puppet rots away from the inside.

    9. “We can violate the first amendment if get our feet wet with brown folk first”

    10. Remember the anti protest laws after George Floyd?

      Like walking off a sidewalk was a riot?

      Or a protest organizer was personally responsible for the action of every person who showed up, even if they started burning things down?

      Or that people in the road could be run over if a driver felt „threatened“?

      Here ya go.

      The deepness of facism in the FBI is spreading. Patel is only too happy to obliterate free speech wherever he can.

    12. Meanwhile reddit conservatives will lie to your face that they are the party of freedom of speech.
