I'm not even #mairikkkan but I can see that #1a #4a and #14a are already de facto gone.
Wayyyyyy too many Americans are waiting for a swastika white house before thinking it's facism.

So, a pretty productive Saturday; finished piecing a simple table runner top, salvaged some leftover fabric for lining a third panel for dining room,
and exercised my #1A rights protesting the corrupt Musk #broligarchy. #TeslaTakedown

"Rubio revoked the visa -said: likely has revoked the visas of 100s more. “We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take way their visas." Revoked visas “might be >300 at this pt."

The AP and the Trump administration are due back in court in their fight over White House access
“It’s really about whether the government can control what you say.” – Julie Pace, AP executive editor
The Failed States of America is a fascist zone with a growing number of political prisoners throughout this month.
Kept in the states, #gitmo or #elsalvador or black sites that we don't know about.
#dhs #ice #fbi whatever #gestapo shows up, your constitution has been de facto suspended when the executive branch ignores it. #1a #4a #14a are functionally dead.
Get it yet?
What. Are. You. Waiting. For? (First they came for...)
#GunOwners don't understand that they only have a #2A because we have a #1A in the first place.
We are only allowed to keep our guns because we can change our government through peaceful actions.
Once you take away the first amendment, you can only change the government through force, and they will make sure to take away the guns in the name of public safety.
TLDNR: This administration hates the independent, free press.

“Bondi warns Crockett”
Trump has threatened “his enemies” for decades, but now he threatens judges with impeachment, & he’s instructed “his AG” & his Cabinet, Musk, Senators, Reps, & enablers to also make vicious threats, at times, even bordering on death threats.
“Trump’s Attorney General just issued a threat to Rep. Jasmine Crockett, telling her to “tread very carefully” when criticizing Elon Musk.”
-BT Cohen

@MikeImBack -- #FreeMahmoudKhalil -- They don't get that their #2A rights are rooted in their #1A rights. Too many #MAGA #Gunowners don't get that if you take away peaceful protest and there is no other way to change your government, you are left with violence. They will then come for the guns in the name of public safety.
#GunOwners #2A #1A #FreeMahmoudKhalil #FreedomofSpeech #SocialistGunClub
There are a lot of #MAGA people who claim to love Guns and their freedom of speech awfully silent about this.
PACIFISM allows you to keep your guns. Peaceful protests allow you to keep your guns. If you take away that freedom to express yourself, it only makes violence more likely. If violence becomes the only way to change government, you know full well you no longer have your guns.

The one thing that conservatives don't understand is that you don't have a #2A if you don't have the #FirstAmendment
Acc/to court documents filed by the govt, #RashaAlawieh was questioned by a #CBP officer about photos on her phone that appeared to depict #Hezbollah fighters. Alawieh allegedly said they were shared by others within WhatsApp messaging groups of friends & family.
Alawieh allegedly said her interest in Nasrallah was in his standing as a #religious figure within the Shia #Muslim community, as opposed to his role as a political leader….

And here it is, exactly what I feared. Getting rid of staff so they can install Trump's people.
Just today:
"Voice of America staff put on administrative leave"
"Full-time employees at Voice of America received an email this morning from human resources saying they have been placed on paid administrative leave, according to a copy of the memo that was obtained ABC News."

One more thing about the right of the public to know what government is doing.
Independent news media is crucial during the times we're living in. If we don't know what is happening, how can we be responsible citizens?
