I wish there wasn't someone serving a 30 year sentence for transporting zines basically because the government convinced a jury they were "antifa" zines.

The Trump administration IS instructing US Attorneys to go after such things, and juries are in some cases buying it. It's probably better if you aren't protesting a data center in Texas.

I will give you that this instance is extreme.

How does being critical of AI directly connect to a spurious association with antifa or any connection to a riot or shooting?

These two categories are different. I agree there is overreach in Sanchez's case however i don't know how one can assume the same will happen to some guy saying "AI bad"

If they were rioting; or connected to a rioting group, that might be different.

Do you think lying about an unrelated case furthers your argument?
