It's also not okay to attempt treason (and be bad at it, too.) She will be in protective solitary confinement and and solitary is where she belongs.

I realize solitary is considered torture, but not too long ago we would just straight up execute treasoners. This is an improvement.

She is being put in prison for insurrection.
She is being put in solitary (which is torture) for being trans.

You are overlooking the part where we normally hang treasoners. It is fantastic for her we didn't just put her around the wall and tell some people to shoot at her. Solitary, for her safety, is a blessing. Nobody who participated in j6 should even be alive for us to speak about right now.
