A fascinating photo with layer on layer of nuances! Truly a snapshot of the US now.

We don't know what charge, but the arrest shows how addle-brained the country is at this point.

Lady Liberty's smile suggests that she's pleased by the publicity provided by whomever ordered the arrest.

And the smirks of the cops (real police officers, not secret police goons!) suggest that they're just doing the job, doing it with humanity rather than brutality.

America's hurt, but not dead.

@oldclumsy_nowmad @randahl The lady herself is on instagram with handle @that.vvitch so if anyone here has an instagram account they might go invite her over to the Fediverse?

I saw her explain her arrest and she is acutely aware of how her privilege protected her from suffering more than 6 hours (12 hours on another occasion) detention. The responses of some people here referring to that, frankly, baffle me.
