“…illegal protest…”?
Oh right, the US Constitution doesn’t exist any more.
Next time an american speaks about "muh first amendment", "USA only free speech country in the world" bullshit, show them this

You are not wrong. The Supreme Court finding presidential immunity and then allowing an insurrectionist to run in contravention of the 14th amendment seems to have finally put the old document to rest.

This is the same as the Zelensky trap. They're going to cut federal funding regardless. The just plan on getting you to bend the knee before hand.
This exactly. Higher education hurts them in the long run so it was never going to get a pass. It’ll be gutted so that private schools can take over. This is just a way to put the blame on the universities and students who don’t bend to their will.

What's an illegal protest? I thought first amendment speech covered that
Also, how can he expel a student from a school he doesn't control? or does he mean expel students from the country?
An illegal protest, according to conservatives, is any protest they disagree with. Waving picket signs or blocking traffic is disruptive, destructive, and illegal. Storming the capitol is, on the other hand, a perfectly acceptable peaceful protest.

This happened before: https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Sophie_Scholl
a German student and anti-Nazi political activist, active within the White Rose non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany. She was convicted of high treason after having been found distributing anti-war leaflets at the University of Munich(LMU) with her brother, Hans.
"Such a splendid sunny day, and I have to go. But how many have to die on the battlefield in these days, how many young, promising lives... What does my death matter if by our acts thousands are warned and alerted. Among the student body there will certainly be a revolt."
She's bae.

The amount of times I've heard salty right wing grifters complain about Orwellian censorship on literally everything. But I guess it's just fine if cult leader Trump does it, because he stands for what's right and sticks it to those progressive plebs, right?

All federal funding will stop
That's the only part here anyone needs to know.
He'll threaten to pull funding for his stupid pet issues first, then pull it anyways for everyone else.
Therefore, fucking ignore his threats, nothing you can do will ever appease him and he will go back on his own word like it's a bodily function.
Ill do whatever the fuck I want bitch, shut the fuck up and go suck Elons dick.

Does "NO MASKS" mean that choosing to wear a mask to protect your health is now forbidden at colleges or is there another meaning that I don't understand? It is so random and has nothing to do with the rest of the post except for being "woke".
Probably making wearing any mask while protesting illegal, regardless of the legality of the protest itself.

This is absolutely absurd. People have a right to a lawful assembly.

Well there you go kids, he just explicitly named exactly all the things you should be doing.
Then they came from the students, and I watched my parents still beg for more fascism because they thought they were going to be billionaires any day now

Isn't this the exact type of thing the 2nd Amendment types were supposed to have their guns and militia to guard against?

Well that's easy. The protests aren't illegal. Therefore this amounts to nothing.
Fuck this dude.
I remember when the Democrats brought down the hammer hard on anti-genocide protestors in universities. Trump is doing the same, but expanding it to all protests.

Ah there goes another thing that distinguished the USA from China and Russia.
Blue states need to start up their own shadow government, fund their own shit.
Californian here.
We should stop paying federal taxes.
We have a ton of money, a ton of military installations, and 1 in 8 Americans IS a Californian. Washington and Oregon join us, and we'd be in even better shape. Canada can get in on the action too.
A felon rapist traitor and his traitor party is making our Constitution irrelevant. Time to start looking out for ourselves.

Americans, you are living under a fascist regime.
At this point and with all these new and ilogical rules, Trump is basically Dolores Umbridge!
We need a giant to take him down!
"illegal protests" Pretty sure Freedom of Speech and Assembly is part of the first amendment. He's a putz

“Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
Every time I scroll past this image, that’s the line that gets me. Bold threatening declaration by fascist dictator, then ends like a work email reminding you not to leave food in the cafeteria fridge over the weekend.

Two minutes later: we don't have enough skilled people to make Teslas and computer chips.
Four minutes later: I have an idea, let's hire immigrants.
Six minutes later: we hate immigrants, they are stealing our jobs.
