Middleboro Review and so on

  Donald Trump’s Federal Communications Commission chair, Brendan Carr, has issued a public threat to news broadcasters:   Report the Iran war the way the administration wants, or lose your license to operate. That’s right: The U.S. government has threatened to silence news organizations for covering a war in ways that the president doesn’t like. This is a direct attack on freedom of the press and freedom of speech. This is exactly how an authoritarian government acts. By censoring what people know about war, it controls the narrative and the war itself. Since the beginning of Trump’s second term, we’ve watched as corporate news outlets fold under pressure. CBS ended Stephen Colbert’s contract. ABC temporarily suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” “60 Minutes,” which airs on CBS News, postponed a segment on the Salvadoran prison CECOT where interviewees described torture. Over the last 15 months, we’ve witnessed a chilling effect on news organizations — they’re pulling coverage, soft...

STOP SUPPORTING LOSERS!  THEY'RE AFRAID OF FREE SPEECH!  THEY'RE AFRAID OF CRITICISM!  8 MILLION AMERICANS STOOD UP, HELD SIGNS TO PROTEST AGAINST  TRUMP.... THE FIRST AMENDMENT WAS FIRST FOR GOOD REASON!  LOOK AT THE LIST OF ANTI-DEMOCRACY MAGATTS WHO WANT TO DESTROY DEMOCRACY: TED CRUZ ABANDONED TEXAS WHEN THEY HAD NO HEAT OR LIGHTS, KASH PATEL: CONSPIRACY THEORIST WHO CAN'T STOP LYING & TAKES A JET TO VISIT GIRLFRIEND (POOR GIRL!

A WISE MAN ONCE SAID: I MAY NOT AGREE WITH YOU, BUT WILL DEFEND TO THE  DEATH YOUR RIGHT TO SAY IT!  PROTECT FREE SPEECH!  Dear MoveOn member, The Trump administration's assault on our fundamental rights to free speech and protest is escalating, with the president recently ordering to have a protester arrested without cause. 1  Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil was taken from his home unlawfully by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), without a warrant and despite his status as a permanent resident. And, if President Trump gets his way, Khalil's arrest and possible deportation would be the first of many. 2 Our government going on a crusade to arrest a permanent resident—with no evidence and no due cause—is terrifying. If it could happen to Khalil, it could happen to anyone. Will you sign the petition? Amid cries of outrage and protest, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman blocked Khalil's deportation—for now. But his security is in limbo, and he r...
