Everything is happening too fast. I just want to curl up and cry.
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.
Get mad.
After the cry sesh. Then get pissed TF off.
I am.
“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.
I have been upvoting so many news things that I hate lately - a necessary evil.
It does feel weird to upvote something you hate.
So states and municipalities with federally-funded colleges now have a financial incentive to legalize all protests, right?
Is his real goal just bankrupting America with first amendment suits?
He bankrupted his casinos to steal investors monies, he will bankrupt US.
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.
Defunding schools over undefined ‘illegal protests’ sets a dangerous precedent for academic freedom.

Did you just get here, or…?
“Agitators” gives me Romania pre 1989 vibes.
The whole “no masks” comment immediately made me think of “no take backs “. Seems fitting for the oversized orange man-child.
“Tin soldiers and nixons comming…”
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 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
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.
Which protests are the illegal ones? Also, should I let my hematologist oncologist about the no masks law?
The only legal ones will be those happily waving Trump signs and calling for a third term.
The illegal ones are the ones the President doesn’t like, obviously.
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.
