The right to protest against the actions of our government is one of our fundamental rights. It's right there in the First Amendment.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
If Trump's regime can redefine that protest as "terrorism," and redefine a person with a green card as an "illegal immigrant," none of us are safe.
This is one of the foundations of the country. Trump is violating it -- and his base have no problems with that violation.
When they themselves are arrested, and when they find themselves scheduled for deportation, well, they'll be outraged. (If it happens to them or to their tribe, it's a crime. If it happens to liberals or brown people, it's hilarious.) It'll be too late at that point, of course.
Call your representatives now.

That is almost exactly what my heated message to all my elected representatives said! And while I'm sure I disagree with Mr. Khalil in almost every particular, I will vigorously defend his right to speech.
What the FUCK, America.
Same.
