Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have condemned a raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as “deeply disturbing” and accused the Trump administration of a “rogue abuse of power” just weeks ahead of November’s midterm elections.

    That’s not what a political prisoner is. Political prisoner is someone imprisoned for their their political activity, like a member of the opposition, someone running in elections against the ruling party or an activists. It has nothing to do with having a criminal record or not. You can educate yourself here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_prisoners_in_the_United_States

    Next time check the facts before you get all worked up about something and start insulting people. And people upvote this… Average intelligence on lemmy is way lower they you would imagine.

        Oh, I see realizing you made a faux pas hurt a bit. Good, maybe you will learn something.

        Who am I kidding, it’s clear you’re not a learning type 😂

          I get that you receive dismissive laughter a lot in your life, but I’m just gonna go ahead and remind you that it’s because what you said was literally too fucking stupid to engage with.

          Good luck with life 👍
