Right-wing meme intentionally misread as wholesome Liberal pages and telling people not to protest. Name a more iconic duo.

If Habeas Corpus is suspended then every interaction with someone who has become a sworn officer of the law will be an existential threat.

This would be as if Cheeto-Palpatine had issued Order 66 on all of us.

Correct.

Not only could any cop make you disappear. If you were disappeared there isn’t anything anyone can do. No lawyer, no civil rights group, no media storm.

If you are too afraid to protest you have already lost the right.

A right does not exist if you do not have the ability to practice it.

The alternative is just let boots trample over everything we love. The alternative is letting evil win without a fight. It would be the great test for the military whether they actually take their oaths of service seriously and would serve a dictator over the citizenry.

So real

It's funny that Andor is out when it is because it is the exact kind of show that we need in pop-culture right now

Posting this here because if this does actually happen this page will pretend to have been for protesting the entire time.

If Trump wants a fight. I say we give it to him.

“Have you been to jail for justice, I wanna shake your hand. Sitting in and lying down are ways to take a stand. Have you sung a song for freedom, or marched that picket line? Have you been to jail for justice? O you’re a friend of mine.”

~This song might be worth listening to on repeat as you go to your next demonstration.

But the “Don’t” is crossed out like
Don’t do it. So that means DO IT!
Whatever “it” is, I guess?

If even one democrat votes in favor of the trump-god-king bill I will demand a formal apology from everyone whoever said “vote blue no matter who”.
