      It makes sense under the framework that police are a right-wing paramilitary.

      They understand this fact, and will aid their allies like ICE and Patriot Front who seek to impose their white-supremicist agenda upon the country. They work in the knowledge that their job is to oppress the left and support the far-right reactionary ideology with government-sanctioned force.

      The left needs to accept this paradigm in order to compete against it.

        Is this a decision that was made by the police or civilian government? The way it’s worded is a bit ambiguous.

          I was actually thinking about this. While we have movements determined to keep the resistance peaceful, history shows that the ownership class, the political class and the police absolutely will resort to violence to preserve their power, even if it means massacring dissidents to the last, or engaging in genocide.

      Immensely disappointed but not at all surprised by my governor. I’ll be harassing her staff with angry constituent messages until she’s out of office

      Prisoners there have been on a hunger strike since late May (arc)

      “They’re given rotten frozen food, or in the case of last week, they found live worms in their food, we’re also hearing of people being denied toilet paper,” said activist Catalina Adorno, who explained why she arrived to stand in support of detainees.

      Late Wednesday morning, New York Congressman Adriano Espaillat and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker were allowed inside and spoke to detainees who are complaining about inhumane conditions and inadequate medical care.

      “Repercussions and retaliation have been launched against the people in the hunger strike. We were informed that 13 of them were moved out since the hunger strike began,” Espaiilat said.

      “The stories I’ve gotten, especially from women inmates, about the access to medical attention, seemed unsatisfactory, if not downright dangerous to their conditions,” Booker said.

      On Wednesday afternoon, New York Congressman Jerrold Nadler made his way inside.

      “The food is very sparse. They get up and have breakfast at 4 in the morning, lunch at maybe 12, dinner at 4, and very small portions, so it’s impossible, and very often, there are maggots in the food,” Nadler said.

    The first amendment gives everyone the right to record. There is no such thing as verified credentials to become the press and film in public.

      That is correct according to a common interpretation of the Constitution of the United States. But the judges who are bribed to be creative in their interpretation of law often vehemently disagree, and think that the rights to free political speech and free press should be sharply curbed.

      There are a lot of universities that have designated free-speech zones.

        and recently they have largely quashed or censored those universities, and they all pretty much bowed to the pressure, under the threat of pulling out funding.

          Yes. Curiously the colleges that capitulated to the Trump regime continued to be pressured by it, and have been denied funding anyway. It shows that once again appeasement of fascists does not work.

    how are time and place “free speech zones” like this not violations of the right to assemble?
