I was in a space tonight where I heard 4 people who survived the J6 ordeal speak. I don’t think people understand what kind of physical and psychological torture was done to these people.
People who committed misdemeanors, who were first time nonviolent offenders were ripped away from their families, their children and their loved ones. They were thrown into solitary confinement for months at a time. No phone calls. No letters. No lawyers.
They were debanked, deplatformed. They were put on a terror watch list. Permanently. Every single time they fly they get flagged and made a spectacle out of every airport.
One of these people had their son on a terrorist watchlist, he was two years old at the time.
These are people who are guilty of parading or trespassing.
Listening to their stories is heartbreaking and also extremely infuriating. Because this didn’t happen in some third world hell hole. This happened in the United States of America. Where we now have a class of political prisoners.
This happened in the United States of America. And nobody could do anything to stop an out of control judicial system, and an even worse bureau of prisons.
Republican members of Congress, have you heard these people’s stories? Have you heard what they’ve had to endure? What their families had to endure? What they are still going through over a freaking misdemeanor?
I really urge people to listen to their stories because after you listen to them, you will never see our government in the same light.
Pardons are great. Very necessary.
But these people have been to hell and back and there better be a whole lot of accountability.
Otherwise, it’s only a matter of time before you or I are next.
Because you see that’s how tyranny works. That’s how abuse of power works.
Delusional!
