I hope those college kids enjoyed their time protesting last year. Worth it, right?

What a stupid statement. Yes. It was worth it. Freedom of speech. And, now when it's gone,you'll realize it. Along with everything else.

He isn't quarreling with right to protest, but the off-putting & counterproductive methods playing into Trump's hands. Never seen a movement seemingy less interested in broadening it's support.

Protests were fine. Harassment and intimidation were not. There should have been zero tolerance for these and for interrupting classes.

bama93003.bsky.social•2 days ago

Dumbest statement of the year right here🙄

aprile529.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well, since you think it's worth it to lose your repro rights, your social security and medicare when older, all the things your state did with the infrastructure money, PLUS Trump's going to bulldoze Gaza, as his son-in-law said over and over, then CONGRATULATIONS.

Don't mind us if we hate you.

Losing free speech is usually the first to go l,so....and my state didn't misuse infrastructure money....I don't support any of those things.

The problem is painting all protest as problematic and blaming all protestors for the actions of the few. Remember how the right said a Black Lives Matter sign in your window was the same as burning down a building? Protesting is our right and duty as Americans. Protesting didn’t cause Trump’s win.

They literally named their movement "Uncommitted" to withhold votes for Harris and Democrats. Their strategy was to *literally* elect Trump. 🙄

“They”?

Two different groups that had some, but not at all 100% overlap.

Yes, freedom of speech covers stupid, asinine, low-information protests which create the perfect environment for fascism to flower. Hope you enjoy the fruits of your labors.

Those silly college kids acting as though they have a constitutional right to protest

wrenardena.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don’t understand this comment.

Trump wants to do away with the first amendment. He ALSO wants to do away with the DoE. So people should just… stop protesting in advance?

johnhagal.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think he's going after the protesting against Kamala's views on Gaza and presumably not voting for her...

alexhammy209.bsky.social•2 days ago

Precisely, we had to spend a year and a half watching those people wish us harm, and now that the harm is here we're mad.

nlsegall.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think it is aimed at ALL future protests. He has changed Nixon’s policy of shooting the students to a policy of shooting the universities.

momny.bsky.social•2 days ago

What is an illegal protest?

chitownaquarius.bsky.social•2 days ago

blaming Gen Z for not being engaged and now blaming for being engaged… wtf

dtpsez.bsky.social•1 day ago

All the other lawyers seem to be saying this is unconstitutional.

yojimborice.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wear a mask and a hoodie. May Day might kick off a summer of protests. I hope anyway.

alttag.bsky.social•2 days ago

Let’s instead blame university administrators for not standing up for students’ rights.

barretny.bsky.social•2 days ago

Would you say the same thing if they were BLM or Pro Israel protesters? Free Speech is Free Speech.

stroligus.bsky.social•2 days ago

What? Cmon you know better than this.

trinak.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wait, your takeaway is don’t protest lest Dear Leader disapprove?

edlucke.bsky.social•2 days ago

why wasn't it?

College kids protesting is/was not the problem here.

Sounds vaguely like victim blaming. Perhaps I misunderstood.

So much freedom of speech 🙄

Is it their fault Trump doesn't the constitution now?

rebeccalynn2025.bsky.social•1 day ago

Blaming Hamas agents.

'National Post' 'Alleged links' 'Claims'

Protest is legal. You may not like it, but the first amendment is clear. So get a hanky and cry or move to Israel.

rebeccalynn2025.bsky.social•1 day ago

The ringleaders are Hamas agents

You act as if the Constitution doesn't exist. Those college kids had every right to protest. The First Amendment guarantees it, no matter what Trump says

smrodman.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Keffiyeh Krews on campuses were loudly and actively working against the Democratic Party and its candidates for not being sufficiently pure and in lockstep with their (misinformed) positions. They literally helped Trump win. That’s what he’s referring to, folks.

mrpullen.bsky.social•2 days ago

Kamalastan- you know the Droid the Democrsts put up when the previous model ran out of batteries. This version had unabashed loyalty to the donors class and zero principals - so unpopular with the electorate that in 2020, she was forced to withdraw from primary without 1 delegate earned.

lostboyjim.bsky.social•2 days ago

How dare they exercise their absolute right to free speech!! Totally worth it!!

If you can't exercise a right, you don't actually have it.

skylarkpoli.bsky.social•2 days ago

And not voting, or destroying their ballot, or voting for a third party...
