Right to free speech? Well of course. As long as you’re still here in the US, which of course is at our whim.
Right to free assembly? Sure, as long as you didn’t protest against our policies and become an “enemy combatant” in the process.
Etc.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important:
He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

I just read the protests Saturday was just shy of 1% of the population. It takes 3.5% to make a change.

Javier Milei, Boris Johnson und natürlich Trump sind Vertreter einer "Clownspolitik", die durch ihre Performance absurder Inkompetenz und Peinlichkeit einen fast erleichterten Hohn auslösen vermag.
