First Amendment Phobia

Buck Banks


To get on the wrong side of the government, you had to be a bomb-throwing anarchist,
That was until Trump and his Cabinet conspired to be Constitutional denialists.
They’d rather rendition citizens on illegal flights
Than perpetuate the spirit of the Bill of Rights,
Now, if you stand chanting in a protest line holding a sign, you’re a “domestic terrorist.”

China is the second-largest source of international students in the US, with about 277,000 students enrolled in 2023–24, or roughly one in four foreign students. International students contributed $43.8B to the US economy last year and supported over 378,000 jobs.
