Protesting is a FELONY in Tennessee now…Facism at it’s finest (x)

I’m sorry, but people need to know this. This is LITERALLY the most blatant telltale sign of totalitarianism and this needs to be spread like wildfire.

DO NOT LOOK AWAY.

Here’s an actual link, since the one above seems to just go to Reddit:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/08/13/tennessee-camping-felony-capitol/%3foutputType=amp

Protesters have camped for months at Tennessee’s Capitol. So lawmakers made it a felony.

“This is all about criminalizing peaceful protesting,” said Justin Jones, an organizer of the protesters who have camped at the state capito

Washington Post

It’s important to point out that protesting generally hasn’t been made a felony, but rather the camping that the protestors are doing (and the legislation also includes other things to discourage protesting).

This is still really bad though, because the right to peaceful protest is protected in the Constitution, and even if protesting isn’t outlawed outright the government is still criminalizing an act of peaceful protest just because it’s a protest.

Furthermore:

According to tn.gov felons in Tennessee lose their right to vote. This is called Felony Disenfranchisement

So this means that the Tennessee government just passed legislation that would render the protestors unable to vote.

I’m sorry lemme repeat that again

the Tennessee government just passed legislation thar would render the protestors unable to vote

On this day, 17 August 1987, workers in South Korea occupied factories and the shipyard of the Hyundai corporation in the city of Ulsan. Meanwhile, upwards of 300,000 workers battled riot police in the city, in one of the biggest confrontations to date between workers and the US-backed dictatorship. The strikes spread, and the “Great Workers’ Struggle,” as the movement would become known, would at its height involve around 1.2 million workers – one third of the regular workforce – with 3,749 strikes taking place by the end of the year. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1503492103169268/?type=3

August 1, 2020 - After federal agents left Portland, the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) renewed their commitment to police brutality. A peaceful march took place in a Portland suburb and was immediately met with police violence. PPB were filmed dragging protesters, beating them, slashing tires, busting car windows, and targeting street medics. Several reporters on the scene were pepper-sprayed from point-blank range and threatened. Additionally, PPB had a riot cop who’s sole task was filming protesters – an act that is illegal for the PPB to do.

National news wants you to think this story (and every protest pushing back against the police) is over. It’s not. Link to Twitter footage.
