This is a screenshot of a bluesky post from “The Tennessee Holler” posted 12 hours ago. The post reads: “If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?” The post includes a repost from Joe G posted 2 hours ago that says “Arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.” Below the text is a video thumbnail showing what appears to be law enforcement officers restraining an elderly person in a wheelchair in what looks like a government building or office setting.

They were being treated equally as per the law, I see this as very progressive as they are not assuming any bias or pre conceptions related to age, mobility or even letting their own emotions dictate their behavior towards people.

Fascinating

Why are they even ziptied? Are the cops afraid of being beat up by grandmas ?

Why didn't they just zip tie the wheel on the rascal

The US is beyond saving. Fuck this place. I don’t care what it takes, we need a revolution, and conservatives need to be annihilated. Tarred and fucking feathered.

Right there with you

Annihilated is a little strong. When are you starting this civil war of yours?

Christians, through history, loved stoning anyone who did not agree with them or follow their beliefs. I think it would be ironic if they ended up on the other end of this.

But truthfully, I think just permanently removing their ability to have any effect on the world we live in, by their speech, money, action, position, etc, as quickly as humanly possible is far more important than just carrying out old fashioned punishments for catharsis. We all just need them gone.

That would just feed their persecution fetish

Nothing matters in this country aside from how much wealth you generate or spend at the moment. Doesn't matter how good or bad you are. Ethics are frowned upon. How much money you can spend or generate for others is the only factor. We are an experiment in how far largely unrelated capitalism can be pushed. The only fix for this is an absolute societal collapse.
