Edit: updated meme due to being dumb and having not enough Ts in the word boycott.

Edit #2: in an attempt to ensure that no one thinks that this is a real post from Whitehouse.gov (because like, it's getting hard to fucking tell at this point) I'm updating the meme again but without the navigation or article buttons.

PS, I used WorldwideHeadline Regular for the font incase anyone want to use this as a template or what ever

I don't even understand how that's supposed to work... Make boycott illegal is more or less forcing people to buy specific stuff ?

It's literally been happening for years. It's illegal to boycott a genocidal cult.

Boycott is more than the personal decision not to buy something but an organized action including public announcements, reach-outs, protests, ...

I don't know which one the first amendment is though. I guess it's freedom of speech?

Full text of the first:

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 the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

They sure do want to abridge that freedom of speech and right to peaceably assemble.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

Freedom of assembly (to organize a coordinated boycott)

[-] Mechazawa@jlai.lu 5 points 22 hours ago

Oh, i get it, this makes more sense to me now. Yeah i think first amendment is freedom of speech and the right to assemble around some idea I guess.
