Holy shit.
Police just arrested a woman for protesting and saying, “This isn’t just a foreign issue, it’s our tax dollars being used to commit war crimes,” in reference to Venezuela.
If that speech is enough to put you in handcuffs, then the problem isn’t public safety.
It’s dissent.
The First Amendment doesn’t die all at once.
It gets strangled in moments like this.
