Free Speech under Attack

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, King Trump and his Administration have intensified their attack on free speech.  Trump's Attorney General has declared that "hate speech" will be prosecuted, as if it can be clearly separated from other forms of free speech.

In addition, Trump has intensified his attack on the Free Press, suing both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal for their reporting on the Jeffrey Epstein case.  As we have seen throughout human history, threatening and reigning in the press is one of the favored and most effective tools of would-be dictators.

Our King wants to control all public information in this country, thereby suppressing news that reflects poorly on his Administration while elevating that which glorifies his behavior and accomplishments.  Free speech, the bedrock of American Democracy, stands in the way of his ongoing charade.
