@Remittancegirl I can't help but laughing at how this all starts out as so authoritarian yet ends all business email-like. "Thank you for your attention to this matter."

WTF?

@Remittancegirl Also, masks are fine for HIS people, his illegal militia members, etc. Militias are illegal in every state, it's a mystery why nothing's ever done about them. I guess because the cops are always involved with them.

@Remittancegirl "Illegal protests" but we have the right to peacefully assemble (for the time being), so this is another proclamation that is so full of contradictions it can only cause chaos and confusion.

@Remittancegirl And still crickets from Democrats and non-MAGA Republicans. How??

@Remittancegirl

Ok...what are "illegal protests"?

@Remittancegirl well, I mean, there is the ‘none of these protests are illegal; see the first amendment’.

Yeah, I know they don’t fucking understand that, and it’s a stretch to get administrations and cops to not fucking grind protesters up in any available excuse… but it does clash with the orange numpty’s brain leakage.

@Remittancegirl Like the next item on his dictatorship To Do list. "Hey, You've now got the Confirmation Memo. Dictatorship on day 1 proceeding as planned."

@Remittancegirl "Free Sprecken SCHTONK!"
#TheGreatDictator

@Remittancegirl

Before we get to that there is the whole question of Congress being replaced by the new "Law by Tweet/Truth/Brainsnap/Project2025" method.

@Remittancegirl Can you please add alt text to that photo so that people who are sight impaired know what it says? Thank you.

@Remittancegirl Our mighty Russian dictator at work.

@Remittancegirl

So when felon Trump puts out things like this, we ask if his prior Executive Order from 2019 requiring free speech on campuses is still in effect.

@Remittancegirl Waking up in the US right now is like losing a Amendment to the Constitution every day.

@Remittancegirl

Someone needs to keep captioning these posts into THIS picture. because it is all the power this statement has.

Trump is not a king even IF he acts like one

(Medien: 1)

@Remittancegirl Who defines whether a protest is illegal? The skin color of the protesters?
#NeverAgain

@Remittancegirl it is actually a perfect encapsulation of the entire reason there is a First Amendment to the US constitution. Not that he knows or cares at all about the bill of rights but….

@Remittancegirl That's literally violation of USA's 1st amendment. You cannot be punished for rallying and or criticizing government. Someone should lecture dumbass Trump about laws. Then again he has proven many times he doesn't give a shit about laws.

@Remittancegirl Ah I see, so much more free speech than in Germany.

@Remittancegirl

No masks. Knew they'd come for that eventually.

@Remittancegirl should I hold my breath while waiting for the "being transphobic is vital campus discourse" people to condemn this? 🤔

@Remittancegirl

The following is what I think Trump said in that post:

^^^ I wish the people would just accept this new way of life in the United States.
Elon and I cannot fully nurture a Theocratic Oligarchy type government without these tight restriction on the rights of "you, the people."
Get on board or get locked up. ^^^

I certainly could be wrong but reading between the lines is my special skill.

@Remittancegirl Yes, this is a genuine threat to violate the First Amendment.

I used to joke that I was an expert on Third Amendment case law; now I'm starting to worry that there might actually be some in the next few years.

@Remittancegirl can’t wait for the #secondamendment people to kick up a fuss about this!

Oh wait, this is what they’ve been creaming their pants over for decades. Finally they get to be the boot on the neck of someone even weaker than themselves.

@Remittancegirl #TheRealFreeSpeech

@Remittancegirl
Mich erschreckt die Anzahl likes auf die Nachricht von Trump.
Wobei es vermutlich eine berechtigte Frage ist, wieviele von echten Personen kommen.

@Remittancegirl illegal protest is an oxymoron anyway.

@Remittancegirl

@Madeleine Morris This is the perfect example of how a dictatorship begins.

@Remittancegirl there was this idiot on LinkedIn spamming every thread about how Biden is totally bad for violating the free speech sancticity during the pandemic - by ordering the social medias to limit the spread of misinformation about vaccines etc.

And that Trump would never do this.

Right.

@Remittancegirl To summarize for those of you who might be a little slow, Trump is grabbing anything he wants by the pussy. That includes the U.S. government and treasury, Canada and Mexico, Ukraine (though he's gifting that to his buddy Putin). But I guess America knows that already because that is exactly what they voted for.

@Remittancegirl After 1,5 month in the chair, new US administration ticks of almost all boxes for being undemocratic and fascist country.

We can say whatever about Trump. But he's efficient.

@Remittancegirl Wow. This is going to get ugly.

@Remittancegirl #Trump said he would be a dictator on Day 1. He’s still a dictator on Day 43.

#DictatorTrump is silencing the FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT to assemble & protest! #OustTrump

#NoDictators

@Remittancegirl

Protests from the left -> go to jail.

Riots from the right -> get out of jail free.

@Remittancegirl I've been waiting for my 'red line' that will signify that I am truly living in a dictatorship. Threatening to imprison college students who protests really looks like that kind of sign.

@Remittancegirl

I'm old enough to remember when Trump, Musk and the MAGA crowd were "free speech" warriors. Turns out, they only meant their speech.

@Remittancegirl that orange guy is so full of sh... Maybe we may need a little and silent r3v0lut10n no to attarct the big brother eye but to dismantle the system bit by bit.

@Remittancegirl

Very Hong Kong.

(Though you could probably still wear masks there.)

@Remittancegirl

Republicans were never really the "free speech" party.

Trump's billionaire donors have made American democracy into a nation of abusive speech. Exploitive speech. Disinformation speech. Bigoted speech. Hate speech.

@Remittancegirl The SOB is insane. America has had it so good for so long that average Americans have forgotten how bad things can get. We're now getting a dose of reality as this moron crashes the economy and threatens his critics. Unfortunately, this will likely get worse, but I'm all for it that's what it takes to get rid of these bastards.

@Remittancegirl The US has had "free speech zones"

The rule generally is fascists and white supremecists deserve to be heard, and its actually kinda prejudice to not let them do their thing

And socialists, communists, or generally anyone anti-imperialist can shut the fuck up or get hit with a stick

Not new, just explicit now

@Remittancegirl Once again showing that they have no clue what tyranny means!
Anyone who believes that this “man” is about their “freedom” is nothing more than a naive fascist.

@Remittancegirl pure totalitarianism!

@Remittancegirl

So, send more baseball bats to college campuses. Got it.

@Remittancegirl
The no protests is one thing, but no masks either? Even pre pandemic there were people who needed masks for health reasons or simply yo prevent spread of disease.

And what does illegal protests even mean? Does Doge define legal now, since it'll be the one withholding funding?

@Remittancegirl in any story ever written, have the people using language like "agitators" been the good guys?

@Remittancegirl #1933again

@Remittancegirl Sadly the 1st Amendment regulates Congress, because the Founders assumed that a President would «faithfully execute» his duties, and not act like a king.

@Remittancegirl there will be a JD to tell you, why it’s not.
Modern day American society has forgotten about the truth of democracy, the fundamentals of human rights and the reasons why the strength of democracy lies in the power of making compromises. #trumps most disgraceful poison to the US society is him telling the people that his views are the only truth, instead of showing the humility that nobody always knows THE TRUTH.

@Remittancegirl Fuck authority ..!..

@Remittancegirl This is proof that Musk or someone else is whispering thoughts into Trump's ears.

Let's be honest, he would never have the mental capacity to write anything remotely as coherent as this post.

@Remittancegirl mundtot gemacht mit einem süffisanten Hinweis, man müsse ja nicht protestieren.
Steht eigentlich nichts Sinnvolles dazu in der Amerikanischen Verfassung?

@Remittancegirl yep, looks like freedom in US turns like freedom in Russia

@Remittancegirl
🎯Government censoring 1A protected free speech. 💯

@Remittancegirl Oh, he is so polite, "Thank you for your attention to this matter".

I think I will end all my emails and toots like that hereafter.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@Remittancegirl Reminds me of the lead-up to Ukrainian protests of 2013-2014.

Yanukovich made a mistake of beating up student protesters, the rest is history.

@Remittancegirl #Esperanto: Jen ...

Ĉi tio estas ĝuste limigo de libera parolo. Kiam la registaro minacas enkarcerigi vin pro diri ion, kion ĝi ne ŝatas.

Tio estas perfekta ekzemplo de la limigo de libera parolo.

@Remittancegirl

Time for impeachment…

@Remittancegirl Free speech is only good when it benefits your side, or so it seems. 🤔

@Remittancegirl Has anybody asked what brought about this poop-tweet of Trump's? Because he'll certainly provoke protests if he announces that he plans to cut federal financial aid to middle class and working class students.
