@arstechnica If one cannot exercise one's #5A then the #USA is a #fascist #PoliceState!
Anyone treating that place any better than #Russia, "P.R." #China or #NorthKorea is just dellusional.
- If it didn't happen to a #US #citizen they would've either deported & #NoFlyList|ed, jailed indefinitely or tortured & forcibly disappeared said person instead.
