Lots more detail in here about this outrageous arrest. The guy has been in jail for weeks now for posting a quote by President Trump.
In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:
The Absurd Prosecution of a Man Who Posted a Charlie Kirk Meme
Larry Bushart Jr. posted trolling memes on a Facebook thread about a vigil for Kirk. He’s been in a Tennessee jail ever since.

I’m more used to saying this to people on the Left than people on the Right, but, “hate speech” is not an exception to the First Amendment. “Hate speech” is protected by the First Amendment unless it falls into a traditional established exception.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "There's free speech and then there's hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society...We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech."

In the time when we all lived in caves, half of everyone born was dead by age 30.
By 1840, half of everyone born was dead by 35. ( despite organic foods, clean air & water (etc)
Today’s much long life expectancy is due to science - the meds, the vaccines etc

Replacing the head of Bureau of Labor Statistics with a stooge, proclaiming that crime is up when it’s down, and taking over the Smithsonian are all about trying to take over facts.
But facts are facts whether or not Trumpists agree.

The death penalty, "theoretically reserved for the worst of the worst" may in fact be "exploited by prosecutors for political advantage, even in cases where guilt is unclear," argues Elizabeth Bruenig:
‘I Need This to Be a Homicide’
Prosecutors who want to look tough on crime may be tempted to treat the death penalty as a political tool.
