The First Amendment: Free Speech

The fact that an administration can pinpoint a student, a student who is a legal citizen of this country ineligible for deportation, and attempt to deport him simply based on his difference of opinion, should terrify all Americans, regardless of party.

The deportation of Mahmoud Khalil is illegal and unconstitutional. We must collectively understand that it isn't about deporting an undocumented immigrant, or an ICE crackdown. It is the attempted REVOKING of legal citizenship. If they can do this to one person, they can do this to all of us, simply based off of an expression of free speech.

Mahmoud is missing. ICE didn't seem to know his paperwork, and the location where his wife, an American citizen, was told he was, does not know where he is. He was last detained by ICE and American law enforcement.

The U.S Government has detained and dissapeared a United States citizen and all of us, politicians alike, are helpless to do anything about it.

Call your reps. Demand answers. If you can, volunteer, donate to the ACLU. Message me for opportunities to get involved. We must stand together.

Donald Trump, working class hero

[violetgroans]

So, the Luigi Mangione situation has been consuming my thoughts for days. Honestly, I’m surprised to see even those who typically consume right-wing media starting to connect the dots.

Kyle Rittenhouse was hailed as an “American patriot” and a “hero” by right-wing media like Fox and co, not because they’re anti-establishment but because they blindly support the establishment. After his acquittal, conservative media framed his actions as self-defence, the ultimate embodiment of “law and order.” But let’s be honest—this wasn’t about justice or morality. It was about doubling down on a toxic gun culture, one that upholds violence as a virtue when it aligns with their politics.

Take Donald Trump, for example. He’s their golden boy, the so-called saviour of the working class, but what did he actually do for anyone struggling to make ends meet? He gave billionaires a massive tax break, slashing corporate rates to 21% and leaving crumbs for everyone else. Universal healthcare? Forget it. Trump spent years trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act without even pretending to offer an alternative. And wages? They stagnated while he bragged about a booming economy. He couldn’t stop talking about low petrol prices—as if that fixes lives ruined by medical debt or the soaring cost of living. Meanwhile, his obsession with fracking wasn’t about energy independence; it was about making oil companies richer.

Trump’s entire existence is proof that capitalism rewards incompetence if you’re born into the right family. He’s failed at business after business, but the money and connections always find their way back to him, bringing power along for the ride.

Now compare that to someone like Luigi Mangione. Here’s a guy from a privileged background—an Ivy League graduate, no less—who allegedly assassinated UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, Brian Thompson. And why? Because Mangione had seen enough of the system Thompson profited from: a healthcare industry that lets people die while executives rake in bonuses. Mangione reportedly left behind a manifesto condemning health insurance companies for putting profits over people. Even Daily Mail readers, who’d normally back the establishment, are expressing sympathy for him and calling out billionaires. When even the most propagandised audiences are waking up, you know something’s wrong.

This isn’t complicated: poverty kills. Debt kills. And billionaires like Thompson—who faced criticism for policies that punished patients seeking emergency care—are perfectly comfortable profiting off that suffering. They sit in their towers, insulated from the consequences of the system they exploit, while working-class people are forced to choose between survival and dignity.

What billionaires should really fear is us realising we’ve been played. For decades, they’ve worked to convince us our biggest threats are each other—minorities, immigrants, anyone but them—when they’re the ones pulling the strings. Without our labour and endless, soul-crushing consumption, they’re nothing.

Do I feel bad for a billionaire who’s scared? Not in the slightest. They don’t know fear the way we do. They don’t have to worry about eviction notices or medical bills. They’ve convinced us their success is aspirational, but it’s all a con—a rigged game that keeps them on top no matter what.

I hope the Luigi Mangione case sparks a backlash they can’t ignore. I hope it forces people to confront how deeply this system has failed us. The media will try to spin it, of course. They’re already working to humanise people like Thompson, men who built their careers on denying claims and leaving sick people to fend for themselves. Meanwhile, these same journalists won’t write about kids being pushed into poverty or the way empathy disappears when a rapist gets elected to office. It’s so absurd it feels like a cruel joke—like we’re being manipulated for laughs as reason abandons our collective psyche.

People have turned this murder into a meme, and they’re being condemned for it. But billionaires, propped up by the likes of Murdoch, have relied on our desensitisation for decades to amass wealth and control political narratives. The internet makes that harder for them now, and they know it.

And people are tired. We misdirect our anger into the wrong places, often at each other, and can you blame us? What have protests actually accomplished lately? Millions marched for Palestine—one of the largest demonstrations in recent memory—but did it stop the US or UK from backing Netanyahu? Of course not.

So where do they think all this frustration is going to go? Because one day, it’s going to boil over—and no amount of money or media spin will protect them.

[possiblyunhinged]

The populist, anti-establishment energy that figures like Trump, Musk, and their ilk have harnessed for personal and financial gain is a double-edged sword. And honestly? I don’t even think they realise they’re sowing their own downfall yet.

While they position themselves as disruptors (despite being privately educated, ultra-privileged warthogs), they’re inadvertently emboldening a public distrust in authority and wealth that doesn’t distinguish between 'good billionaires' and 'bad billionaires.' And there’s only so far hiding behind a 'free speech' argument will work—even for the dumbest person in the US or UK alike.

They’ve built this hateful sentiment, but they won’t be able to control it, no matter how many millions they plunge into their attempts. They’ve laid the groundwork—'media can never be trusted'—so… what’s next?

As we’ve seen with the public support for Luigi Mangione, this sentiment is already spilling over in ways that make corporations—and even the so-called disruptors themselves—uneasy.

And honestly? I hope it hurts when it bites them first xoxo

We know which it is, the rich and powerful would rather us face a continuous series of crisis after crisis than admit that the system is inherently designed to keep us in poverty.
