The protections of the US Constitution, including free speech and due process rights apply to everyone in the United States not just its citizens. How long until they start criminalizing free speech for American citizens? The authoritarian regime is already here.

"Democrats will get a bad ruling from the parliamentarian and they'll say, 'welp, what could we possibly do?' Whereas the Republicans are like, 'the parliamentarian says we can't do that so let's just get a new fucking parliamentarian.' And that's a microcosm for the broader fight."

On topic, I’m not so sure that the “vandalism” and “fire-setting/explosions” of Teslas are really domestic terrorism. Is it possible it’s just Teslas sprouting certain symbols on their own based on the corporate culture and self-destructing because that’s what they do?
