    +7 Libel involving images is a form of defamation where a false photograph, video, or image (like a meme or altered photo) is published, damaging a person's reputation, subjecting them to ridicule, or falsely implying misconduct. Key elements include the publication of a false, identifiable image that causes actual harm.

    Yup. It's what I've been saying since this story broke. If you see the story on various websites that have open comments, mention that it is defamatory and very open to lawsuits, if you can.

    Let's give this plenty of attention and take a page from Trump's ever growing use of lawsuits to throw it back in the administration's face.

    Ms. Armstrong needs to file a defamation lawsuit over the doctored image. She wasn't sobbing as she was arrested. Not in the least. The "memes" will continue, is a direct statement that the White House is going to continue an official policy of lies and defaming American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

    LAWSUIT time!

    It's absolutely insane that this meme is supposed to be "hahaha we took your rights because you stood up to Nazis hahahaha"

    Who is eating this up without an ounce of self awareness?

    It’s a meme when random people on the internet post dumb pictures, it’s propaganda when the fucking white house does it.

    It's not fake news, it's real.

    Oh wait, you found it wasn't?

    Then it's a joke, who would have thought it was real? Jeez

    It's funny because an unedited interview of this administration will be aired, and they'll cry it's edited if their base doesn't take it well.

    We have reached the limit where I as Scandinavian could smack an American down without remorse. You are so hated, America. Leave us.

    Not our timeline, the American timeline.
    Leave Europe dumb fucks.

    Again, that's not a meme, that's Propaganda. Also, apparently, Libel.

    Most of us can't. Nobody is offering help.

  • Yeah, I know, the situation is fucked. But it's time to take initiative regardless of outside help. And who would ? The countries suffering from the American empire's presence are just restablishing themselves and the West is in chaos. Regardless, I feel for you, maybe you become an English teacher in Indonesia, idk? 🙏

    Now they're really stirring the hornets nest.

    This person isn't a rando - they are a prominent civil rights activist - Nekima Levy Armstrong.

    She was arrested for coordinating the church protest last Sunday where the minister of the church "happens" to lead an ICE field office. I'm sure they're trying to pin a hate crime on her.

    Needless to say, this story will be very important to watch.

    You really can't believe your eyes at this point. Unreal.
