Woah america, are you alright?
I'm certainly not. And I decided that election night was going to be the day I got sober so that's fun. 120 days of no booze!
Illegal protests.
Okay so since protests are an expression of opinion, and you got that pesky first amendment, all protests are legal, so this tweet is a nothing burger.
There's a lot of nuance about how you do it. You can't protest in the middle of a highway, for instance.

That or free speech is dead. Those amendments aren’t laws of nature, they need to be maintained.
So we’ll see.
We really need to tax the mega rich. I compiled this list of numbers after the President speech last night, it's kinda wild:
$ 99,000 - National Median Income is less than $100 thousand.
$ 1,000,000 - 1 Million Dollars.
$ 485,000,000 - Cut Funds to International Relations and whatever.
$ 1,000,000,000 - 1 Billion Dollars. There are over 400 Billionaires in America.
$ 22,000,000,000 - Cut Funds to American Social Serivces through HHS (Human & Health Services).
$ 244,000,000,000 - Elon Musks Net Worth.
$ 1,620,000,000,000 - 1 Trillion Dollars - Meta (Facebooks) Corporate Net Worth.
$19,900,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2017 (Obama to Trump)
$27,800,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2021 (Trump to Biden)
$36,000,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2025 (Biden to Trump)
Yes, fuck this. And fuck the previous guy and every president before that.
I wish there was a way out of this duopoly
"illegal protests" Pretty sure Freedom of Speech and Assembly is part of the first amendment. He's a putz
You spelled Nazi incorrectly
Doesn't matter. The POTUS making this statement weakens it. Every single time it weakens it. The more people that hear it the more it weakens it.
The point isn't to stop it. It's to scare a few people and ready the maga parents with school-age children who refuse to speak to them for the Kent state reruns we're getting soon.
Trump has a team of scientists sitting in a lab cooking up the worst possible tweet in response to every issue.
This is really real? Holy shit
“Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
Every time I scroll past this image, that’s the line that gets me. Bold threatening declaration by fascist dictator, then ends like a work email reminding you not to leave food in the cafeteria fridge over the weekend.
That's because he thinks he's been reasonable. Which is a terrifying thought
I used to be the pride of my family for having finished college. Now it's demonized by them.
I feel for the students of today. College was an important time for me. I experienced a lot of new ideas, my mind was opened. I didn't get to do much in grad school, but my first four years of college changed me and I wouldn't be the same without those experiences. The way the situation is escalating we may see colleges completely locked down or even abolished.
This, in part,is also the educated vs. the uneducated.
Most of Trump's policiet are obviously dumb when given a single thought, but you have to be able to make that throught. The vast majority of magas are not capable of making a first, let alone second, thought

If you're actually manually replying this all over the place you are a king and I hope you don't stop lol
just know that i will probably be banned before too long. lemmy pretends to be a leftist outlet but it's actually a bunch of coward mods.
Ah yes, Lemmy.world
AKA "I can't believe it's not Reddit!"
...but you're not banned. Are you pre-emptively complaining about something you think will happen? It hasn't, so, err... okay?
Pretty sure the colleges were doing this on their on volition. No need to reiterate president trump, they have the situation under control.
they have the ~~situation under control.~~ students silenced and expelled.
Checks fascist handbook. Jup. Checks out.
