Nah I think the plan this time around is going to be prison labour,

Land of the fee.

"Lalaland" gets my vote, given that they have completely lost any sense of reality.

Theory is that it’s on the list.

They change the name of they country and the claim the constitution doesn’t apply.

You do yourself and any potential ally a disservice when you spout negative bullshit like this. And it is bullshit because what you're saying is nonsensical and fucking being upvoted (come on lemmy, we're better than this).

What do pro-Palestinian student protesters at US universities want?

They are demanding that their schools, many with massive endowments, financially divest from Israel.

What is the effective message of protesting at a university over Trump? People have been organizing protests, but what part are you demanding the students actually protest? Just... protest Trump in general? at the University? Protesting till he's taken out of office or some action is performed?

I honestly want to see the rest of the government make a choice of bowing or standing up to the would-be king before we call to send in the children. Let us know where everyone in the system stands because once Uni kids get involved with mass protesting.... it's gonna get dicey real fast.

I really hope the unwarranted attacks that everyone is spewing at each other is statistically on the decline, it really needs to be shot down the instant it's seen so we don't have actual trolls and bots getting footholds.

GUNS

He doesn't have to try. The Supreme Court made him one last year.

Isn't that fun!? /s

Technically not a protest though. Loophole

Will remain legal until they're not

Well you never know. He's fired so many people I wouldn't be surprised if they've lost track of who owes them what.

Since many answers aren't actually answering the question...

Most places require a permit to assemble en masse. There are "free speech zones" where you can create large gatherings without any kind of advance notice or permit or whatever. Most universities have a free speech zone towards the middle of their campuses. Cities will also often have at least one but somewhere that doesn't inconvenience commerce, like a park or near city hall.

Most mass assembly requires a permit and sometimes a fee, even in public places. Following this prevents arrest by "disturbing the peace" or other such laws, usually.

How this squares with the first amendment is interpretation. Individual freedom of speech is protected except very specific public order and safety things, e.g. calling for violence. Coordinated, mass freedom of speech is perceived as a fast path to rioting.

I'm not saying this is right, but this is my understanding of how things work. I'm not a lawyer or an expert in these matters. This is just what I learned from activist friends in my university time ages ago.

As for expulsion, public universities are run by states. To my understand, Trump has no legal mechanism to do this. He's just talking out of his ass or expects to bully public institutions into expelling students by threatening to withhold department of education funding... but he's planning to kill that anyway, so 🤷‍♂️

Yes. Also no.

It means all things and nothing at the same time.
