He’s warning us not to speak out then telling us to speak out.

I mean probably don't speak out if you have a visa or green card at this point in time for safety but otherwise be loud. They can't deport everyone.

He is telling Americans to speak out now before Trump stops them from speaking out

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 13 points 11 months ago

the opposite. he's saying speak now or forever hold your peace (because you'll be dead)

You are incorrect. He's saying that if you use your right to free speech, you CAN be disappeared. Your grasp of the word "can" is tenuous.

And you’re a pedantic prick, so here we are.

he's outlining the erosion of rights and telling you to stand up together before there's nothing left to defend

If reporting what the administration is doing makes you wary to exercise your rights, it's not the reporter that's telling you not to speak out
