Pls take another look at this piece if you have time. It would mean a lot to me, and I really think we have to protect our Freedom of Speech or we are truly heading towards total fascism.
America is no longer drifting toward authoritarianism — we are living in it. With the courts captured, Congress complicit, and dissent punished while loyalty is rewarded, Donald Trump is paving the road to fascism in plain sight.

We are living in an authoritarian state — and every day of inaction takes us closer to fascism.

The latest from YouGov (n ~ 3k). People overall believe Jimmy Kimmel's comments were acceptable.

Further, people found FCC Chair Brendan Carr's comments about planning to retaliate *unacceptable.* And overall, people strongly disapprove of canceling Kimmel's show

In my first TNR piece, I explained why so many key institutions, including my former employer, The Washington Post, aren't as anti-Trump now as they were from 2017-2020. It's a story of self-interest, institutional change and frustration with movements on the left. newrepublic.com/article/1987...
Why So Many Key Institutions Have Folded Rather Than Challenge Trump
Yes, they’re under pressure. But maybe a lot of these leaders kinda like what Trump’s doing. Just remember: They were defeated once before.
