“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” -U.S. Constitution, First Amendment.
Wtf ever happened to “free speech”?! From Elon Musk who bought Twitter now X censoring people who were pro Ukraine or critical of him, his companies, and politics to the immigrants being disappeared to Trump, this criminal and treasonous POTUS going after people who are pro Palestine and against the genocide in gaza; this fascist administration and its friends seem hell-bent on making sure that anyone and anyone who dares speak up or stand up against them is punished if not imprisoned to silence them and any opposition to their regime. Fascism has come to America folks and its wrapped in a flag and wearing a cross just like predicted.
While claiming to be a champion of “free speech”, Trump has proven to be anything but that. His actions have had a chilling effect on free speech. When you snatch up college students simply because they wrote a pro Palestinian paper, it kind of has a chilling effect on free speech. When you delete peoples profiles or shadow ban them like Elon does on X you have a chilling effect on free speech. When you jail or deport migrants and/or citizens for speaking their truth and standing up to you it has a chilling effect on free speech. When you charge judges and lawmakers, your political opponents for exercising their free speech it has a deep freeze effect on the rest of us because if they aren’t safe who is?
Here are just some of the concerning articles I’ve stumbled across that have led me to the conclusion that this administration is the most dangerous administration ever and that our rights to free speech and freedom of expression, to gather and to protest are under fire.
https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/27/us/rumeysa-ozturk-detained-what-we-know
Rumeysa Ozturk was taken by ICE agents. Her crime? Writing a pro Palestinian paper. Six plainclothes officers surrounded Ozturk as she walked alone and there is video of this:
Their excuse, well, read it,
“If you apply for a visa to enter the United States and be a student, and you tell us that the reason why you’re coming to the United States is not just because you want to write op-eds, but because you want to participate in movements that are involved in doing things like vandalizing universities, harassing students, taking over buildings, creating a ruckus, we’re not going to give you a visa,” – Marco Rubio
So there you have it. If you live here and participate in protests against things they don’t want you to protest against or write papers they don’t like or stand up to them and exercise your right to free speech, which is a universal right all citizens and non citizens share in this country, then you will pay the consequences. Sound like a fascist, Nazi like clamp down on your freedom of speech? It sure does to me!
https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/19/us/video/mahmoud-khalil-newly-released-footage-digvid
Newly released video shows the moment that Mahmoud Khalil was arrested, a graduate student of Columbia University and pro-Palestinian activist. He has been detained since March 8 of 2025 and remains in ICE custody. He has recently been denied the ability to hold his newborn son by ICE agents.

A federal judge nominated by President Donald Trump ordered his administration to facilitate the return of a man who was deported to El Salvador last month despite having a pending asylum application.
U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher in Maryland ruled Wednesday that the government violated a 2019 settlement agreement when it deported the 20-year-old man, a Venezuelan native identified only as Cristian in court papers.
At this point its almost hard to keep up with all the migrants, activists, and others being persecuted by this criminal, fascist, treasonous administration as they wage war on this nation and everything it should stand for. Each and every day more and more people are threatened, harassed, thrown in prison or deported for standing up to this tyrant and his army of fascist, racist, nationalist Christian bigots.

“Free speech doesn’t mean public discourse has to be free of facts. Donald Trump and his Big Tech cronies like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are dismantling what few guardrails the internet had to protect the integrity of information. We cannot ignore the irony of Trump appointing himself the chief crusader for ‘free speech’ while he continues to personally attack press freedom – a pillar of the First Amendment – and has vowed to weaponize the federal government against expression he doesn’t like. If Trump means what he says in his own executive order, he could start by dropping his lawsuits against news organizations.”

But the attacks on free speech wouldn’t be complete without a full on disinformation campaign to brainwash and replace what they see as “woke” with what most of us see as racist, nationalist, and Christian extremist.
When Hitler rose to power he too knew the importance of controlling the media, silencing critics, and pumping the airways full of propaganda.
“The Propaganda Ministry, through its Reich Press Chamber, assumed control over the Reich Association of the German Press, the guild which regulated entry into the profession. Under the new Editors Law of October 4, 1933, the association kept registries of “racially pure” editors and journalists, and excluded Jews and those married to Jews from the profession. Propaganda Ministry officials expected editors and journalists, who had to register with the Reich Press Chamber to work in the field, to follow the mandates and instructions handed down by the ministry. In paragraph 14 of the law, the regime required editors to omit anything “calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home.“
“Josef Goebbels was appointed Minister of Propaganda in 1933 and aimed to brainwash people into obeying the Nazis and idolising Hitler.
Propaganda
The 1936 Berlin Olympics were intended to showcase the superior athleticism of the Master Race.
Goebbels controlled the media and arts, making sure that Germans were fed Nazi ideology while censoring other information.
The Nuremberg Rallies, held annually from 1933, glorified war and the military.”

In closing we all must all unite to protect free speech for EVERYONE not just those we agree with or like. For this right people have fought and died. We must honor their sacrifice by protecting the rights they fought and died to protect. We must rise up as one people against the tyrants that would strip us of our rights to free speech, freedom of expression, to protest, to gather, to write things critical of this administration, of Zionist Jews and their genocide, and Christians who think they are better than everyone else and can tell everyone what to do with their bodies, their personal lives, etc. We are at war with Christian Fascism. Don’t forget it. Its here folks and it wants to put its boot on your neck so you can’t speak up against it. Stand united against those who would strip you of your rights. If we don’t, we know what happens next don’t we?
