    He was protesting AI and the UK police misread his shirt and thought he was protesting Palestine. It’s not even if you’re wearing a shirt it’s if they THINK you are that’s enough to be arrested. Fucking wild imo

      Wow. This is actual insanity wtf. This genuinely would never happen in the US, even under Trump the first amendment gives us very robust protections. I can’t think of a time anything like this has happened here.
