There's a massive distortion of free speech doctrine being circulated to justify the Trump Administration's punishment of universities that allow "illegal protests" against Israel.

It's obviously a 1st Am violation to condition funding on holding or rejecting certain views.

@TheFIREorg

Free speech on college campuses is a proud American tradition, and — on public campuses — protected by the First Amendment. President Trump's message this morning, combined with other recent executive orders threatening punishment for protected speech, is deeply chilling. 🧵

[Screenshot of Trump's tweet, image to text below:]

@realDonaldTrump

All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Never forget Bernie Sanders voted to overthrow Gaddafi and then tried to pretend he didn’t until Hillary Clinton (the architect of Gaddafi’s assassination) promptly reminded him during the debates in 2016.

Bernie hasn’t seen a regime change he didn’t like. He’s anti-Democracy.

100% valid on Libya. But he voted against the Iraq War. The most consequential regime operation of this century…

@realnikohouse

He did not. He actually voted for another piece of legislation to invade Iraq under specific circumstances. The vote just got hidden bc it failed in order to pass a broader piece that Bernie did vote against. But he still supported the invasion. The only dispute was how we were allowed to invade.

@ProudSocialist

This chart is accurate. Real leftists oppose funding all imperialist wars and genocides.

Generated Image Description:

The image is a stylized chart or table comparing the stances of different political groups ("The Left," "Liberals," and "The Right") on two issues: funding the war in Ukraine and funding genocide in Gaza. 

The chart is organized as follows:

• Rows: Each row represents a political grouping: "The Left," "Liberals," and "The Right."

• Columns: Each column represents a specific issue: "Funding War in Ukraine" and "Funding Genocide in Gaza."

• Cell Contents: Each cell contains a word indicating the general stance of the political group on the corresponding issue. The words used are "AGAINST," "IN FAVOR," and a more nuanced statement specifying a stance under specific presidential administrations (Biden and Trump). Color-coding is used to highlight the stances. Red typically indicates "AGAINST" while teal indicates "IN FAVOR."

Specific Stances shown:

• The Left: Against funding the war in Ukraine and against funding genocide in Gaza.

• Liberals: In favor of funding the war in Ukraine. Their stance on Gaza is more nuanced: In favor under Biden, but against under Trump.

• The Right: Against funding the war in Ukraine and in favor of funding genocide in Gaza.

The chart appears designed to illustrate perceived partisan divisions on these complex geopolitical issues, possibly intended to provoke discussion or highlight perceived hypocrisy. The use of loaded language like "genocide" contributes to this effect. The chart's accuracy or neutrality is debatable, as the representation of stances could be simplified or biased.

I'm sure the US would have been fine if China had been micro-managing Mexico for years after helping violently remove Mexico's elected leader and replacing him with one more pro-China and anti-US, then moving to put Mexico in a China-led military alliance.

Here we have Victoria Nuland in 2016, openly testifying before Congress about just how deep the US was in running Ukraine’s government after the 2014 coup. She laid it all out: US advisors embedded in 12 Ukrainian ministries, American-trained police in 18 cities, the US Treasury shutting down 60 Ukrainian banks while shielding depositors’ assets, and a cool $266 million spent on training Ukrainian soldiers.

Between 1950 and 1953, America murdered 10-20% of Korea's population and reduced the north to rubble. Millions dead because America couldn't allow Koreans to choose Communism. Even though the overwhelming majority of Koreans supported it.

Can we start being honest here? The reason why many Westerners believe the world was peaceful the last 60 years is because they don’t see nonwhite people as human, so atrocities against them don’t really count

It’s the driving mechanism behind White Supremacy

Wow. An Israeli soldier could be prosecuted for war crimes while sightseeing in Brazil. This is a game changer. Imagine if every single person involved in the genocide in Gaza could not leave Israel. (And the US.)

@MarioNawfal

🚨🇧🇷🇮🇱 BRAZIL TO ISRAELI SOLDIER TOURIST: “WELCOME! NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT WAR CRIMES.”

A Brazilian court has ordered police to investigate an Israeli soldier accused of war crimes in Gaza, after a complaint by the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF).

The soldier, reportedly sightseeing in Brazil, is accused of helping demolish homes as part of what HRF calls a “genocidal campaign.”

HRF claims to have video and photo evidence linking him to the destruction and has demanded his immediate arrest, warning he could flee or destroy evidence.

The court, clearly not here for excuses, is moving fast under both Brazilian law and international rules.

HRF chair, Dyab Abou Jahjah:

“This is a historic moment.

It proves war criminals can’t just book a vacation and expect to get away with it.”

@samtripoli

This is scary.... I ask Grok how I could get my social credit score up and this was it's response....

To improve your social credit score, consider the following strategies:

Positive Behavior: Engage in behaviors that align with social norms and values that are likely to be rewarded by the system. This could include community service, volunteering, or participating in positive social initiatives. Since social credit systems aim to promote good conduct, demonstrating responsible citizenship can boost your score.

Paying Fines and Bills on Time: Ensure that you pay any fines or bills promptly. Late payments or unpaid fines can negatively impact your score. This is particularly relevant since one of the examples from the X post thread mentioned forgetting to pay a fine as a potential issue.

Online Behavior: Be mindful of what you post or comment online. Avoid saying or sharing anything that could be deemed unacceptable or controversial by the system's standards. From the X post, it's clear that online behavior is monitored and can affect one's score.

Avoid Negative Associations: Limit interactions with individuals or groups that might be considered 'the wrong type' by the system. The X post thread suggests that mingling with the wrong people could lower your score.

Engage with Approved Systems: Participate in social credit systems or platforms that are recognized or approved by the authorities. For instance, in China, engaging with platforms like Sesame Credit can offer benefits like easier access to loans or discounts, which indirectly improves your standing.

Continuous Learning and Improvement: Since systems like China's aim to socially engineer behavior, showing improvement over time in areas like education or personal development might be beneficial. This aligns with the concept of social engineering mentioned in the related web results.

Compliance with Government Guidelines: Follow all government regulations, especially during crises like pandemics, as compliance can be a factor in improving your score. The web results mention that adherence to COVID-19 guidelines can affect credit scores positively.

Use of Financial Tools: If applicable, use financial tools or services that report positive payment behavior back to the credit system. For instance, services that convert utility or rent payments into credit history can help, as suggested by Experian Boost in one of the web results.

Remember, the specifics can vary greatly depending on the country or system you are dealing with. For instance, China's system is unique in its scope and implementation. Here are some citations for further context:

The concept of social credit systems and their impact on behavior:📷

The importance of timely payments and financial behavior:📷

The specifics of China's social credit system and its implementation:📷

Please note that while the X posts and related web results provide insights into social credit systems, particularly China's, these strategies are generalized and might need adjustment based on the specific rules of any social credit system you're under.

8 years after Hillary Clinton lost to Trump, Kamala Harris managed to (probably) do it again by recycling Clinton's failed strategy of courting Republicans and out-hawking Trump amidst a Democratic-sponsored genocide she refused to budge on.
