Which protests are the illegal ones? Also, should I let my hematologist oncologist about the no masks law?
-
The illegal ones are the ones the President doesn't like, obviously.
-
The only legal ones will be those happily waving Trump signs and calling for a third term.
-
-
Is his real goal just bankrupting America with first amendment suits?
-
He bankrupted his casinos to steal investors monies, he will bankrupt US.

I have been upvoting so many news things that I hate lately - a necessary evil.
-
It does feel weird to upvote something you hate.

-
What makes a protest illegal?
-
If it's one the current administration doesn't like. Some examples:
- Pro-Palestine
- ANti-fascism
- Pro-Ukraine
- Pro-reproductive rights
- Pro equality
- LGBTQ
-
If it upsets rich people

Everything is happening too fast. I just want to curl up and cry.
-
Get mad.
-
After the cry sesh. Then get pissed TF off.
-
I am.

That's exactly the reaction they're looking for. They want the US population to become as disengaged from politics as ordinary Russians are. They want you to learn that same helplessness. So don't cave. Find people you can connect with to resist together.

Speedrunning to tyranny.. things are moving fast indeed in these days and age…

Trump and co have 2 years (until the midterms) to bankrupt the US, let Bezos, Musk and Thiel buy whatever is left that can turn a profit (energy, utilities, etc.) and put loyalists in charge of the election in key states.
See USSR in the 90s.

They're going to shut down the department education, they're going to stop all federal funding.
-
Yeah, kind of an empty threat. It's just picking who gets to start not having federal funding first.
And the only way to make the protests "illegal" is to seed fake violence into them.
It's just step one on a list of steps to get to schools not having any federal funds slow enough that people don't get enough "up in arms" to actually stop it.
They know liberals have to be pushed pretty hard to actually be violent, so they are pushing 90% as hard as that, but constantly.

Whelp, better make it all super duper legal universities, colleges and schools. Put that law on the books that all protests are legal.
-
When it comes to the protests against Israel's genocide, the track record of US universities is not good. Universities have been so terrified of losing lucrative Israel-connected sponsorship that they are the first to call for harsh punishments for the students. So I wouldn't count on university administrations to push back hard against this assault on free speech, rather than taking it out on the students.

It really feels like we're watching our country circle the drain. No one is standing up to a 78 year old toddler.

-
So states and municipalities with federally-funded colleges now have a financial incentive to legalize all protests, right?
-
The whole “no masks” comment immediately made me think of “no take backs “. Seems fitting for the oversized orange man-child.
-
Defunding schools over undefined 'illegal protests' sets a dangerous precedent for academic freedom.

Did you just get here, or…?

For anyone keeping track, this is one of the pillars of the Curtis Yarvin Butterfly Revolution. Massive fines that grind endowments to dust is a key Broligarchy strategy.
-
What about the Jan 6 protest, domestic terrorism takeover? Ahh that's different and freedom of speech. Got it
-
Is "NO MASKS" here an intentional double entendre?
-
"Agitators" gives me Romania pre 1989 vibes.

"Tin soldiers and nixons comming..."
