I saw on Robert Reich’s substack this morning (Saturday):
On September 25, Donald Trump signed a presidential order called NSPM-7, a sweeping attack on free speech that targets progressive organizations and individuals for prosecution for “domestic terrorism.”
And now, the first arrests linked to NSPM-7 have begun, including multiple people attending a peaceful protest outside an ICE detention facility near Chicago.
…
What are these ideas that are so dangerous that they can be directly linked to terrorism? The list includes such vague concepts as “anti-capitalism,” “anti-Christianity,” “extremism on migration, race, and gender,” and opposition to “traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.”
That could mean practically anything. And that’s the point.
…
I raise my hand. I’m sure you know where to find me.
Executive orders aren’t laws.
This is just Trump babbling like the senile loon he is.
Yeah, me too.
I’ve already donated to the legal defense fund of those Chicago protesters.
And, I’m part of our local volunteer resistance movement.
I have a card with instructions on what to do if ICE arrests me and a whistle that is supposed to do something.
