Summary

Donald Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on free speech, using executive orders to suppress viewpoints he opposes.

His administration has targeted DEI initiatives, transgender rights, pro-Palestinian protests, and immigrant advocacy, pressuring organizations to comply or face funding cuts.

The government detained and attempted to deport a Palestinian activist for protesting, revoked federal grants from Columbia University over anti-Semitism claims, and punished law firms opposing Trump.

Media outlets critical of Trump face exclusion from coverage. Lawsuits challenging these actions argue they violate the First Amendment.

    I had no problem knowing about him from the press.

    Yes, but most outlets heavily sanewash him, so people who don’t keep with the news don’t understand how, well, insane he is.

      Again most is heavily weighted as fox news and the fly by night propoganda outlets that have arisen. Its like im a well respected profession and then a bunch of assholes say they are that profession to and now people talk about how my profession sucks but all the actual professionals with real training and experience are just lumped in.
