A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesnβt like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Phone companies keep press surveillance secret
A new letter from Sen. Ron Wyden reveals which wireless carriers inform customers about government surveillance requests
Will your phone company warn you if the government wants your data?
For journalists, it could mean the difference between protecting a source and exposing one.

This fails the common sense test.
Tax the rich. Invest in families. Lower costs for working people.
And reject this Republican trickle-down economic nonsense.

The protests are not for Trump to see, they are so you can all see each other and grow. It's not the protest itself that tyrants are afraid of, but the networks and community you can grow from them. Your strength is your unity and that's why the enemy thrives by demoralizing and dividing you. #3E

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

American democracy depends on a free press.
Itβs no surprise the fascist assaults by Trump-Musk on news organizations and journalists is so intense.
Press freedom IS democracy.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanityβs greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.
I donβt know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.
