We’re totally fucked if judges can openly say they’re sentencing people who haven’t committed a crime simply for holding an opinion.

“…prosecutors folded defendants who were not alleged to have committed any act of violence into a case…”

“In Batten’s case, prosecutors relied on her black garb… in Soto’s, prosecutors argued that her black clothing and her operation of a small printing press … tied her to the conspiracy. Both received sentences of 50 years”
