There's no "illegal ideas" in America

This is a core part of Trump's agenda: silence dissent, punish critics, and make fear the law of the land...

SIGN THE PETITION to tell Trump and ICE: In America, there's no such thing as an "illegal" idea >> Pamela, in the United States, we protest, we dissent, and we speak our minds – even when it makes people in power uncomfortable. But Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement department (ICE) just posted – and then quickly deleted – a chilling message declaring that it's their job to stop "illegal" ideas from crossing the border. [1] This isn't just a rogue tweet. This is a core part of Trump's agenda: silence dissent, punish critics, and make fear the law of the land. They want to scare people out of standing up for immigrants, for justice, for basic human rights.   Add your name to tell Trump and ICE: We caught you saying the quiet part out loud. Ideas can't be "illegal" – and any attempt to police them is a blatant attack on our freedom of speech. SIGN THE PETITION This fight isn't about one tweet. It's about whether the government gets to decide which thoughts are acceptable.   This is just the latest attack from an administration that wants to police our right to speak, protest, and think freely – and it won't be the last. Of course they deleted the post after backlash. But don't be fooled – this is the Trump administration's agenda. They're sending a message: disagree with us, and we'll come for you.   Pamela, if we want to protect our right to speak out, we have to show up now – loudly, proudly, and unapologetically. Add your name and say it loud: This is an all–out assault on free speech. Reject Trump's authoritarian agenda.
