No Masks!
Yeah, okay. With a pandemic on?
You gotta at least wear a surgical mask in public for your health, in minecraft.
Your doctor could probably write you a recommendation, prior to the protest, in case you have any legal issues.
You didn't see?! They're perfectly OK with masks now when it comes to hiding their bigoted face.
Two minutes later: we don't have enough skilled people to make Teslas and computer chips.
Four minutes later: I have an idea, let's hire immigrants.
Six minutes later: we hate immigrants, they are stealing our jobs.
Americans, come to Europe !
you'll be treated like human beings here
you’ll be treated like human beings here
You're talking about white people, right?
The immigration process isn't exactly super easy though.
"You know the best strategy to counter this is to do nothing, it will burn itself out after awhile. If a few people die or get imprisoned well that's okay as long as I don't have to do anything difficult or will affect my portfolio and control. "
obviously I made this quote up but it is how I feel about the people in power that say they are against this administration but really are doing jack shit to support or engage the population. Sure there are some that are doing somethings and I appreciate that, but fuck man do most of the "opposition" party really not have a spine? Like what the fuck, there are millions of citizens that are genuinely scared for their life and freedom and all we are getting is crickets...
That's because left-wing politicians are still politicians. They want to remain politicians they don't want to end up getting arrested or lose their jobs, so they are only going to push back against this to the limit of which they think they can get away with, which basically means making statements, but otherwise not really doing anything.
If you want action you'll have to do it yourself. Unfortunately this does present a bit of a problem because you are then playing into the narrative that the Right have, that everyone who opposes them is a criminal. Because by definition you'll have to commit crimes in order to oppose them, since they will make opposing them a crime. Welcome to the wonderful circular logic of extremists.
It looks like the “land of the free” needs renaming too.
"Land stolen by slavers."
Actually factual, not just some phony religion.
Land of the Free™~(Terms and conditions apply.)~
guns
Isn't the democrats plan in this situation to call the cops? To use the worlds best justice system? Just call the cops. You know, the ones that murder people/dogs for fun, beat their spouse, make up charges to fuck your life up, and assault protestors?
Just call the cops. I'm sure the wealthy democrats in their gated communities are right on this one. They didn't carefully craft a bipartisan police state alongside the republicans for nothing. They know better then us dirty working class folk
Just call the cops.

This is absolutely absurd. People have a right to a lawful assembly.
Anyone supporting this guy is insane. Literally trying to become an emperor
This is really real? Holy shit
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.
wtf? seriously....
He doesn't get to make laws. Protesting is as legal today as it was yesterday.
American university students can protest for weeks over Palestine, but don’t show up when their own country is taken over by a fascist.
American students should protest for as long as it takes to end a genocide.
The current fascist is a direct result of previous fascists. Genocide normalizes fascism.
This liberal support for genocide and fascism is a major part of the problem.
You do yourself and any potential ally a disservice when you spout negative bullshit like this. And it is bullshit because what you're saying is nonsensical and fucking being upvoted (come on lemmy, we're better than this).
What do pro-Palestinian student protesters at US universities want?
They are demanding that their schools, many with massive endowments, financially divest from Israel.
What is the effective message of protesting at a university over Trump? People have been organizing protests, but what part are you demanding the students actually protest? Just... protest Trump in general? at the University? Protesting till he's taken out of office or some action is performed?
I honestly want to see the rest of the government make a choice of bowing or standing up to the would-be king before we call to send in the children. Let us know where everyone in the system stands because once Uni kids get involved with mass protesting.... it's gonna get dicey real fast.
I really hope the unwarranted attacks that everyone is spewing at each other is statistically on the decline, it really needs to be shot down the instant it's seen so we don't have actual trolls and bots getting footholds.
All federal funding will stop
That's the only part here anyone needs to know.
He'll threaten to pull funding for his stupid pet issues first, then pull it anyways for everyone else.
Therefore, fucking ignore his threats, nothing you can do will ever appease him and he will go back on his own word like it's a bodily function.
