The United States government doesn’t ban political organizations outright, but it does have a legal apparatus, put in place almost a quarter-century ago, for transmogrifying protesters into prosecutable terrorists.
When all protest is terrorism
The groundwork for Trump's free speech crackdown was laid by the War on Terror.

Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.

It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.

Disastrous strategy by Labour.

We should know by now not to respond to one of Trump’s weekend posts as a definitive statement of policy. The content is as outrageous as it is absurd. For that reason there will be strong pushback from markets, Congress, perhaps Supreme Court as well as European governments.

The details are horrific.

I do get it, but boycotting Amazon hurts the vendor, not Bezos. 70% of all worldwide traffic goes through one AWS centre in Virginia. Another 26% uses CloudFront (Amazon owned).

The whole world could stop shopping on Amazon, and Bezos wouldn't notice. That's not how his empire works now.

When people talk about reasons to leave X, the fact that the owner is a mass murderer doesn't get mentioned enough. The Grok porn stuff is foul. The naked white nationalism is foul. This is worse.
Too few people are talking about the blood on Elon Musk's hands.

When DOGE slashed foreign aid, it wasn't just numbers on a screen. It was insulin, food, and antibiotics being ripped away from the world's poorest children.

Musk is responsible for the death of thousands

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

Renée Nicole Good is one of at least nine people across the country who have been shot by immigration agents since September.

There is something every case has in common: Everyone was in a vehicle at the time of the shooting.
Cops are taught not to shoot into cars. ICE keeps doing it anyway.
