Anyway about that LRT: if you have ever thought "we should protest" about anything in Trump's America you really need to be paying attention to the #j20 trials, in which people are being charged with felonies for having been in Facebook chats about the inaugural protests.
Obviously that's a simplification but it's the meat of it. People are being charged as felony conspirators *even though the government admits they committed no direct crimes*
Within a block of a smashed window? That's a felony trial.

Wearing a bandanna? Carrying a medkit for tear gas? Friends with someone more radical than you?
It's wholly possible that the government will use doctored Project Veritas videos in your shiny felony conspiracy trial!

Tbh I can't figure out why this trial isn't getting more coverage. I know people like to distance from antifa and black bloc but this is a mass trial where the government has stipulated that most defendants are neither, so idk why people are sleeping on this.
