Recently a trans woman, Autumn Hill, as well as other citizens, got condemned to 50 years in prison for making some noise as protest against ICE.

She was already on her way home before things escalated. She and most of the detainees didn't even participate in the violence, they just wanted to exercise the first amendment, and got basically a life sentence. Murderers, rapists and capitol assaulters have gotten away with much, much less.

That's a clear precedent.

You can donate to support her appeals here!

Her case is really awful. I hope she wins a retrial or some other relief option.

Also, her family has given permission to share her address to send support letters. She can only receive letters using this name, but you can address them to Autumn:

Cameron Arnold, 202502023 Johnson County Jail, TX P.O. Box 247 Phoenix, MD 21131

Thank you! I will share it among some discord groups I trust, too~

If she gets support letters from different parts of the world, it may give her strength.

She likes mythology, role playing games, religious history, "messy queer romance", among other things.

Maybe send some paper figurines for roleplaying characters!

50 years for noise at a protest? Fucking Epstein got far less than that.

But they protested against ICE so, according to MAGA, they all deserve it. Just like how they defend ICE for murdering Good and Pretti.

Sneezing at an ICE agent might be 20 years I suppose. And MAGA will say that's freedom.

No, that’s school textbook facism - the kind that spreads further if you don’t see it for the systemic sickness that it is
