The arrest of a US army veteran who protested against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown has raised alarms among legal experts and fellow veterans familiar with his service in Afghanistan.
Bajun Mavalwalla II – a former army sergeant who survived a roadside bomb blast on a special operations mission in Afghanistan – was charged in July with “conspiracy to impede or injure officers” after joining a demonstration against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) in Spokane, Washington.
Legal experts say the case marks an escalation in the administration’s attacks on first amendment rights. Afghanistan war veterans who know him say the case against Mavalwalla appears unjust.
You know, it sure is weird how much planning for the J6 terrorism was done right out in the open and those in authority at that time did SWEET FUCKALL to stop the J6 terrorists from doing what they did.
That same opposition that we went to all of that trouble to get in power in 2020 despite them sucking and predictably failing is still in control of the party as arrogant as ever, shouting down anyone arguing for popular electable candidates. Sabotaging any popular electable candidates that might get in there as with Mandami in New York City.
Without getting real opposition and otherwise real leadership there is no way we will unseat these guys ever. And unseating them for an establishment candidate just prevents things from getting bad at an accelerated rate. Nothing is fixed, things still get worse. Which is why they lose.
Every time I think about the history of federal involvement in left wing organizing vs right wing organizing in this country, my blood pressure rises about 20%.
I mean, fuck. We inspired and then “rehabilitated” the Nazis. We took a shitton of higher ups and just pardoned them and gave them jobs in gov. Shockingly, the gov has been rather opposed to left wing ideas since.
