A last-ditch effort by Smocks, who is Black, to argue that his prosecution was rooted in racism backfired. Smocks told Chutkan that he believed he had been treated more harshly than white Trump supporters who were charged with misdemeanor crimes for going into the Capitol. He claimed to be the only Black person charged in connection with Jan. 6 to face pretrial detention, but Chutkan noted that wasn’t true. Although the vast majority of people who attacked the Capitol were white, just Wednesday she presided over a hearing for Mark Ponder, a Black man charged with assaulting police at the Capitol who was also ordered to stay behind bars.
In his defense, Smocks had also compared himself to people who protested for racial justice in the 20th century, and he invoked civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. Chutkan, who is also Black, said she found the comparison “offensive.”
“People died fighting for civil rights, people were gassed, they were beaten, they were tortured mentally and physically,” Chutkan said. “For you to hold yourself up as a soldier in that fight is really quite audacious.”

You are clearly unfamiliar with Paul Stamets’ work on the ability of soil fungi to detoxify the very worst crap we can throw at it. This might be a true test, but I am betting on mycology!

But he’s white and conservative! So doesn’t enforcing existing laws translate to “silencing” or “cancelling” him? I mean, if he was Black or progressive it wouldn’t be an issue, since he would be dead or charged with terrorism, so obviously… (/s)

For any out there who, like me, have family or friends who have gone down the MAGAt hole, this could be a useful way to approach them. Or just forward it to them and pray…

They will mostly hear that they lack education and are ignorant. I don’t see sending them this video working.

They are unreachable. I’ve tried. Fk, I still get responses from some red MAGA hat wearing gun fetish cousins that contain “Hillary!” this or that. Oh and it’s all about saving babies now.
They are a lost cause.
I work adjacent to several bearded MAGA bro punisher skull types, now, they are angry. I see it in their faces. (They are really angry pretty much all the time. Less so w trump in ofice but still angry.)
