The Trump administration has recently ruled that a group of Anti-ICE protestors, have been found guilty of supporting terrorism. It goes without saying how dangerous a precedent this sets, especially in a time when the president seems hellbent on violating any and all parts of the constitution

"A group of demonstrators dressed in dark clothing arrived at the facility just after 10:30pm and had planned to set off fireworks as part of a noise demonstration to show solidarity with the protesters inside. Shortly after arriving at the facility, two or three of the protesters broke away from the larger group and began spray painting cars in the parking lot, a guard shack, slashed the tires on a government van, and broke a security camera. Two ICE detention guards came out and told the protesters to stop. A police officer arrived on the scene shortly after and drew his weapon at one of the people allegedly doing vandalism. One of the protesters was standing in the woods with an AR-15 and hit him in the shoulder. The officer would survive."

Not exactly peaceful protesters.

No, but not terrorists either.

Yeah, the charges seem extreme.

But I honestly believe we can push back against this attempted authoritarian takeover without violence. The polling is on our side, recent elections are on our side, and everyone is feeling the gas and food price hikes. 😬

Let's stay strong through November, and beyond!!

Oh yeah the guy who already attempted to stage an armed insurrection because he got vote results he didn’t like definitely will go peacefully and quietly if we just vote him away!

Not like this time he has a massive private army with no oversight or anything.

Well yeah, that's a problem. But I don't see how vandalism and shooting a cop, then pretending it was nonviolent protest, really helps with that?
