The First Amendment is on life support. Trump’s intimidation of media, comedians & corporations is authoritarian creep in real time. We either push back now or lose it all.

New from The Thinking Class 🧠
I woke up in a good mood, then saw J.D. Vance praising Pete Hegseth — and science demanded answers. So I ran the data on which of these two dweebs truly has the more punchable face. Spoiler: it’s a tie, but the jokes aren’t.

My latest Lincoln Square article. www.lincolnsquare.media/p/trump-isnt...
Trump Isn’t Embarrassing Himself. He’s Embarrassing America.
He drags America onto the world stage, shouts like a carnival barker, and dares anyone to call him out. Too often, no one does.

Authoritarian creep doesn’t arrive overnight. It chips away — comedians silenced, shows pulled, and corporations bowing to outrage mobs. Disney just proved they’ll play along. Only way they’ll listen is if we hit them in the pockets. Boycott it all.

Take this seriously! Disney just suspended Kimmel for a harmless joke weeks after CBS axed Colbert. Two late-night voices gone, Trump cheering, and Disney bending. This is a 5-alarm fire for free speech. Don’t shrug.

Hovering over the whole mess is #SpeakerMikeJohnson, who behaves like a gatekeeper for one man’s story.
If your case is that Trump is clean, then releasing the documents should be the fastest route to vindication. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Democrats don’t lose because they’re “too polished” — they lose because they keep ceding the narrative war. MAGA has a story; Dems keep handing the mic to consultants & donors. It’s time to tell a better one.
