[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people on Twitter X (I know!) said that this, and particularly point 4, is the beginning of martial law. Please talk me off the ledge and tell me why it isn't. Thank you.

I asked ChatGPT to summarize the EO and got this back:

This executive order directs the federal government to strongly support state and local police by increasing resources, legal protections, and training, while opposing local policies seen as limiting law enforcement. It calls for legal aid for officers accused in the line of duty, more funding for police pay and prisons, and expanded use of military equipment to fight crime. It also authorizes legal action against local officials who obstruct policing or implement certain diversity and equity policies viewed as harmful. Overall, it emphasizes a law-and-order approach focused on tough policing and public safety.

I'm fine with this executive order. Democrats weakened the police and allowed people to take over cities in the name of social justice and "reparations" (it is just property!), as well as their blatant refusal to prosecute criminals.

I interpret this as a sign that such situations won't be tolerated again, and people should be prepared to face consequences if there are mostly peaceful protests planned for the summer.[/quote]

Why would there be consequences for legal, peaceful protests? [/quote]

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or [b]the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances[/b]

I know it says Congress but we all know the Big Cheeto has them in his back pocket so...
