NYU explicitly outlines sit-ins as permitted but as soon as they don’t like the sit-in they tell people to stop. When they don’t, they then hand people policies on ‘failure to comply’ with orders which can immediately make any protest they want a violation of the rules... #FirstAmendment @nyclu.org

If you want to understand the rationale and cruelty behind Trump's anti immigrant policies, just read up on Stephen Miller. This is all his doing. Trump is golfing most of the time. Miller is an avowed white nationalist. He doesn't hide any of it. It's all there.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.
