"George Washington University law professor #MaryAnneFranks argued that the most egregious acts of #censorship were being committed in real time by the #Trump administration. In a 60-second video posted to Bluesky by Senate Judiciary Democrats, Franks described how Trump has "unleashed the greatest assault on the #FirstAmendment since the #RedScare."
"The #censorship-industrial complex is a thought-terminating, gaslighting cliche that attempts to portray the most powerful people in the United States as oppressed and silenced," Franks said. "The current president of the United States is ordering lawful residents to be surveilled, kidnapped and expelled from the country because of their speech. He is attempting to dictate what words people are allowed to use, what educational institutions are allowed to teach, what values businesses are allowed to promote. He is calling for critics and dissenters to be imprisoned and assaulted. He is threatening journalists, students, judges, lawyers, religious leaders, governors, anyone he deems insufficiently loyal and insufficiently obedient."
