I wish Trump and his cronies live a 100 more years but die of a slow and painful rotting for all those years starting from today.

They’ll all be pardoned when this shitshow comes to an end.

Apparently protesting ICE attracts a much higher penalty that repeated sexual abuse of children under the age of consent.

@thelonerunner18.bsky.social · Jun 26

I hope an appeal is filed!

Big brother strikes. We need to get together and get them out.

And yet no ICE goons have been sentenced for the murders of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, or any of the other victims of their stupid, petty violence.

@kaygirl8lawana.bsky.social · Jun 25

That is totally ridiculous but ICE Officers can tackle US Citizens with a Car and NOTHING happens to them they just go on with their lives without consequences 😡

We are all protesting ICE! How is this legal? It’s retribution!

These are sentences the January 6th mob should have received.

Janeen123 · Jun 25

Absolutely outrageous when the Republicans won’t convict ALL TRUMP FAMILY for being TRAITORS to USA. They’re stealing & rigging everything to their favor. Gov Abbott you know this is RIDICULOUS. How did a jury ever find these people guilty & such harsh sentences? The J6 didn’t get these sentences.

Mo Brock · Jun 26

It’s official: we’re a fascist state.

Michelle.cat · Jun 25

Well, the legal experts will tell you this is how the judiciary works, the DOJ can use these grand juries for anything, maybe the judiciary was always messed up and is only showing its holes now, one thing for sure, our Democratic Congress is doing nothing, and that isn’t an acceptable option

Wirral · Jun 25

If they’ve got $10m (each), Trump will sell them a pardon. Failing that, they could insist on wearing a MAGA hat in prison in religious grounds. They would need Fox to cover it though. And if all else fails, they could bash a police officer with a flag pole (NOT a suggestion).

Meanwhile pedophiles run the country... This country is upside down.

Sorry for those folks who live in Texas who are normal but the Texas judicial system sucks

Niki · Jun 25

Texas judicial system or judges need an evaluation for mental stability. Only good thing about Trump and right wingers…they are all out in the open now. When the cleaning commences there will be no question where the dirt, scum and basic filth resides!

I pray that Texans come to their senses in the near future & elect a Democratic governor, if only to get pardons for these activists. And to have a functioning anti-corruption government that doesn’t sentence pregnant miscarrying women to death.

That.guy.there · Jun 25

YET NOT ONE GODDAMN PEDOPHILE IN EPSTEIN FILES HAS BEEN ARRESTED. * I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA HOW PARENTS WITH YOUNG DAUGHTERS HAVE THE ARROGANCE TO SUPPORT TRUMPISM, AND BE OK WITH PPL DYING IN ICE CAPTIVITY, ASIDE FROM BEING MURDERED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.

“Protesting”? You mean the thing we absolutely have the right to do?

We should’ve seen this coming when they announced Antifa were the enemy. We weren’t allowed to say it, but they basically announced they are fascists.

We need to send this to everyone who will listen.

JaneDzienDobry.bsky.social · Jun 28

They were more than protesting. They had weapons. One shot and wounded a cop. This kind of bs is designed to make people fear protesting. Read the whole story. Don't fall for this alarmist garbage.

quiquaequod · Jun 26

There's going to be a lot more of this and all on blatantly false chargea.

This must be corrected!

If the next dem candidate doesn't promise to pardon these ppl day 1 they wont get my vote

The White House’s newly released national counterterrorism strategy identifies the “left-wing” and “anti-fascists” as terrorist threats equivalent to al Qaeda and the Islamic State.

@kenbreakingnews.bsky.social · Jun 26

I guess those Constitutional amendments don't apply anymore.

@historyiskey.bsky.social · Jun 26

That’s their constitutional right! What is wrong with the damn jury in Texas…..too much roundup?

Messy Cook · Jun 26

Then we'd better get rolling. This is over the top. We need t9 be there for these people. And we need to show now that we won't tolerate jailing of protesters. That's illegal. I wish life would hand every maggot a reality check. We can't let this go. They want to kill the opposition. Fuck midterms!

I immediately fact check this and it’s true! Can we get some lawyers to file some appeals and get these men out?

K9HasMyHeart · Jun 25

I truly hope @aclu.org is looking into this to get these overturned

Danger Din · Jun 25

We must protest harder, smarter and more deviously to defeat their analytics and AI. Work in the liminal!

Well one shot a cop in the shoulder and hundreds of thousands of dollars damage to vehicles and cameras. This was textbook How Not To Protest, especially in TX because they will make an example out of you.

Authoritarian dictatorship. It’s here and the Republicans are assembling the monster.

Justice is way different in Texas. It’s devoid of legality.

@runswstilettos.bsky.social · Jun 25

KatieAnnieOakly · Jun 27

The sentencing comes three months after a weeks-long trial in which prosecutors argued the group was a “North Texas antifa cell” with anti-ICE and anti-government beliefs: www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

Who's the bought judge!

@patuny.bsky.social · Jun 25

How does this even make sense? Seriously, who were their lawyers?protesting is not illegal.

@ireneadler2.bsky.social · Jun 26

Any lawyer worth their salt will sue based on freedom of speech and get these people millions.

This shit is why we moved to Portugal. The US is worse fucked now than ever. Insanity to live there as a minority. They have purposefully done this to terrorize minority communities for funzzies. I was not going to subject my wife to this garbage so we left in October.

James Who Lives in Queens · Jun 26

Judge is a crook. Needs to be appealed. If it stands and the rightwing traitor judges sentence more protesters to obscene sentences, then all bets are off for the future of this country. So, the dirty rightwing MAGA judges should remember we have a constitution we intend to follow if they do not.

Ice stopped next to my driveway last night. My poor neighbors must have been terrified. It worried me. If they come here, I’m not leaving with them. It’s a death sentence. Without my meds, my heart wont last.

Jason · Jun 26

That sentencing falls under cruel and unusual punishment and will be appealed out. More fear tactics by the fascists to try and deter people from having a conscience.

How many years would they have gotten if they simply shot somebody ? Since this is Texas, maybe 7 years with time off for good behavior.

What?

Dawna and RealMonkeyCat · Jun 25

It’s absolutely enraging that the Jan 6 insurrectionists have been pardoned, freed & some even financially rewarded, while these 8 Texas activists exercising their free speech rights, are imprisoned. Even once upon a time, even Mr Miller agreed. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

What was the exact date on which the US became a republic of the russian federation? My bet is that the deal - The Anchorage Annexation - was signed by trump on August 15 2025

Those who protests might get labeled Anti-Fa and then get long prison sentences. Chilling!

They never hurt or killed anyone.. 30-100yrs in jail. But the J6ers hurt and killed officers.. they get let out of jail and the pedophile president is trying to get a big payment for them.. talk about your shithole countries!! 🤡🎪

@ajc55.bsky.social · Jun 26

Yet, the insurrectionists, are running free and getting paid.

Nunki 🇨🇦🇺🇦 · Jun 25

That is disgustingly fascist. If not released before, the next democratic president should pardon all of them and get them out of jail. Another reason to avoid the US at all cost.
