The current regime in the U.S. is threatening freedom of speech, a core value of American society. Expression of disagreement with policies of the Trump administration can lead to serious consequences. Hence, it is no longer safe to express yourself politically on American social media platforms. I just deleted all my Reddit posts and comments and then deleted my account.

Blackmail and the Trump administration

The USA has raised the Jolly Roger higher up it's mast.

One of the City’s so-called magic circle law firms is the latest to strike a deal to provide pro bono legal services to the White House.

A&O Shearman had agreed to the arrangement in exchange for regulators dropping investigations into the firm’s diversity practices.

For those participating:

Don't be disheartened by rumps reports of massive influx of cash. Our govs will continue to buy American goods, as will major corps. It will take a while for our non purchasing to filter through.

There is no export tax, the tax is on USA imports. The USA has closed most gov depts & is hampering freedom of speech via pressure on institutions & individuals (financial & legal - eg refunding of unis for 'non compliance ')

Imagine being thrown out of your job, kids school in turmoil, social security unavailable & the country in turmoil. Rump's tax is for the rich only.

> United States is no longer a safe destination for international students

Abductions, deportations and fear define campus life for many foreign students in Trump’s America.

@byteseu one suggestion to all European media: since the USA only represents about 4% of the world's population, only give them 4% of the attention. The less we concern ourselves with the Orange led idiocracy the more we can concentrate on our own politics and economic development. #boycottusa

Continued thread

Why am I only reading about this is a British newspaper? I'm sure it's been reported but how can I only know about it now? Trump said on Friday he would only follow SCOTUS orders. You are in a constitutional crisis. This is it. This is the moment. If they can render people to a foreign gulag and then say they can't get them back it's not going to stop.

Hell, Xinis should order federal marshals there.
