“Footage, obtained by the outlet, captured the musician face-down in the mud, with her instrument about two feet to her left, struggling as what appears to be a federal agent straddled her backside. A police officer stood next to the pair.”
The Feds then jailed her across state lines. For music.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

we doing "are nazis sexy?" again like it's 2017? it's 2025. we know the answer is "no" and that the question is (at best) irresponsible and (at worst) deliberately helpful to the cause of nazis.

nobody bangs a nazi knowing they are a nazi unless that person is also a nazi.
