    Two people who weren't even there, who never discussed the illegal acts, who were only in a group chat where people discussed attending a legal protest, were sentenced to 50 years.

    But they were trans women in Texas. So the jury had no problem sending them to a men's prison without any crimes being committed.

    A life sentence for protesting.

    This is America.

    Our Constitution is effectively over and a frightening percentage of Americans aren't even aware, or don't even care.

    Personally, I'm crossing my fingers for Balkanization. Staying chained to this sinking ship is not wise.
