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 mean your logic is sound. The second amendment is literally a check against tyranny. Should be counted in the checks and balances.
