If I talk about the trail of tears, gaza or criticise Biden I will get put on the no fly list?

Ask Snowden, Assange, or Manning what happens to ppl who expose US war crimes.

Also the US has a ton of political prisoners: https://mronline.org/2022/08/11/the-united-states-has-many-political-prisoners-heres-a-list/

Yes if you say in a social setting you are going to kill the president, or if you called in a bomb threat to an airline, these are social nonos that can get you on the no fly list.
