Soooo... a 74 year old activist/politician kicks the bejesus out of 2 police officers, with a bicycle? And she grabbed that specific bicycle from under the first officer approaching? What’s next, Bernie Sanders hand-carrying and emptying a classic Oerlikon GAI-BO1 on an approaching horde of infested zombies?

The night is young.
As much as I don't like her... ACAB
She's that generation of old anti nuke tankie leftists. She caters too much to the anti vax anti science crowd. She's not evil, but I'm super tired of her existing with such a high profile and not making any material changes happen in the world. She completely gave up on being an elected official in Massachusetts, and if she cant win there, what is she doing? She's not moving any balls forward, its just a proto-influencer on an endless press tour.
edit: but yeah, this is just a trumped up charge for press, and im pretty sure she's pumped for the coverage
No, she's evil. You said it with the "tankie" part.
She needs to be ARRESTED! She's a CRIMINAL! I HATE CRIMINALS! UNLESS their Crime is Raping Women AND Children AND Financial crimes! THEN they'll get my Vote!
-LITERALLY Republicans!
Trump may not have won without her in 2016. I’m not sure why the fascists are punishing her. She was at the famous Putin dinner!
Trump probably sees her as a rival for Putin's affections.
She's a woman. They always throw the women under the bus first.
As far as I can tell she protested for Palestine. That means she protested against the genocidal fascists.
That's a big nono for the Republicans.
Personally I was surprised to learn that she apparently stood on the right side for humanity on this issue.
Democrats alone made sure trump won in 2016 and 2024
“I want to make it clear that these misdemeanor criminal charges are not a statement about the freedoms of speech or assembly, which we honor and uphold as part of our Constitution.”
Sure.
Trump finally going to deliver on the "Lock Her Up" 2016 campaign pledge. Our long national nightmare is over.
Jeez even her arrest warrant is a joke
Don't know who this is but where's trump's
Trump's arest warrant got lost in the mail
