The assault on the first amendment (and the return of McCarthyism)
I believe this merits its own thread now. The first amendment is definitely under assault.
I just watched the head of th
As opposed to nations like Britain and Canada where the right never got control, so the left has spent the last 5 years speed running complete control of speech.
Wtf ….
Just Harper before Trudeau for like 10 years is an example 0o .
The right already it’s so far off on knowledgeable stuff .
I mean they shouldn’t talk of things outside their USA to make it worst …..
Ps: But yes , if you consider only fascusm to be adequately called the right then yes you are correct .
And in happy you are correct !
I don't understand how any Americans are OK with this. He's essentially saying he can assign this label to anyone and shut them down, while also saying that right-wing violence is OK.
Trump says he will sign executive order to dismantle left-wing groups he claims incite violence
the right wing partisans are ok with it bc its useful to hurting their enemies. just like the Dems supporters such as yourself were perfectly happy to use "Russian (or Chinese or Hamas) misinformation" to go after their enemies when they were in power.

I sure didn't hear much about Biden squelching any speech, except for the Covid thing and at that time it had passed. Trump and his minions have been suing and threatening people for their speech right and left.

No Americans other than bootlickers of dear leader are OK with that.
Hmmm.....
Fox signed a joint statement along with ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and NBC News that said Hegseth’s rules would “restrict journalists’ ability to keep the nation and the world informed of important national security issues.”
Even newsmax..
News organizations including The New York Times, The Associated Press and the conservative Newsmax television network said Monday they will not sign a Defense Department document about its new press rules, making it likely the Trump administration will evict their reporters from the Pentagon.
And, they are outta there
Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, Trump backed his defense secretary’s new rules. “I think he finds the press to be very disruptive in terms of world peace,” Trump said. “The press is very dishonest.”
The continuing rise of fascism
More fascist cancel culture at work
Civil liberties advocates are warning that the Trump administration’s decision to strip visas from at least six foreign nationals over social media posts about Charlie Kirk’s killing represents yet another example of dangerous government crackdowns on protected speech.
On Tuesday, the state department announced it was systematically identifying visa holders who “celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk”, declaring in a social media statement that “the United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans”.
The visa cancellations represent an escalating government-wide campaign to suppress criticism of Kirk, who was killed last month. The administration cut visas for nationals from Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Germany and Paraguay.
Seems the now right wing leadership of CBS pulled a segment they didn't think was flattering for trump. GG freedom of the press.
