Donald Trump is tearing up the First Amendment
Donald Trump is tearing up the First Amendment
The president is waging an across-the-board war against the First Amendment and its legal interpretations from the mid-20th century to today.
Summary
Donald Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on free speech, using executive orders to suppress viewpoints he opposes.
His administration has targeted DEI initiatives, transgender rights, pro-Palestinian protests, and immigrant advocacy, pressuring organizations to comply or face funding cuts.
The government detained and attempted to deport a Palestinian activist for protesting, revoked federal grants from Columbia University over anti-Semitism claims, and punished law firms opposing Trump.
Media outlets critical of Trump face exclusion from coverage. Lawsuits challenging these actions argue they violate the First Amendment.

Just the First?

No, no. It's just that this article is focused on the first one. When the fuck up is so big, you need to break it down to smaller bits to understand it better.

Next week we'll tell you how he's ripping up the second amendment

certainly not the second. not while they don't hold all power anyway.
-
I actually think there will be some restrictions on the second amendment in the next four years. It’ll be targeted at “others;” liberals, minorities, immigrants. But it will be an erosion of the second amendment, and the white “come and take it” crowd will cheer.
-
thats what I meant though. Once they can reliably control the military and the police they will be going after the second amendment like nobodies business.
-
Totally agree, although I think it’s likely the police are already on board.
