MODERATORS
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.

He touched floating point chips? Like an old 80387?
Also 50, 70, and 100 year sentences for people who were protesting against ICE in Texas
the US is now soviet russia. the whole western world is sad :/
The US has more prisoners than any country to ever exist. You've been worse than the soviet union for basically all of your history in those regards.
Edit: Plus it's baked into your constitution that those prisoners are perfect for slavery. You never stopped using slave labor in the entire 250 year history of America.
At least Soviet Russia wasn't run by a handful of billionaires
it is now.

Those floating paint chips are worth thousands of dollars! Or rather, that's what the administration paid for them.
I feel like the guy who got 30 years for picking up a box of zines is a much better example here.
