A government that makes peaceful protest impossible will make violent revolution inevitable
-JFK
Keep saying things like that and the CIA might just shoot you in the head.
No, they’ll just find that every little law that they break is suddenly discovered and the IRS is auditing them.
No need to kill people, if you investigate anyone hard enough you’ll find some federal law that they’re breaking.
A few years in prison will keep you out of the way until it’s over
Nono, you might shoot yourself in the head 3-4 times
Back of the head, while your cameras malfunction.
“illegal protest”
So no more first amendment?
That’s why Trump cronies are in charge of the DOJ, FBI, military etc. Even peaceful protests against thing Trump does or says will be squashed. Welcome to 1984!
pretty much like Hitler after his prison.
America is such a failed state we couldn’t even do that part right.
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
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.
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.
I have been upvoting so many news things that I hate lately - a necessary evil.
It does feel weird to upvote something you hate.
Is “NO MASKS” here an intentional double entendre?
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.
Defunding schools over undefined ‘illegal protests’ sets a dangerous precedent for academic freedom.

Did you just get here, or…?
as intended
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.
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.
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.
