New, by me: How Each Pillar of the 1st Amendment is Under Attack

In an address to Congress this month, President Trump claimed he had "brought free speech back to America." But barely two months into his second term, the president has waged an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment rights of journalists, students, universities, government workers, lawyers and judges.

This story explores a slew of recent actions by the Trump administration that threaten to undermine all five pillars of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees freedoms concerning speech, religion, the media, the right to assembly, and the right to petition the government and seek redress for wrongs.

@briankrebs By "free speech" #Trump and his minions mean being allowed to oppress minorities without consequences.

It's pretty obvious. They even told us in Europe that we don't have "free speech" because we don't allow hate speech.

They don't even realize it's all wicked.

@nakal @briankrebs As per SCOTUS, hate speech is actually protected under our first amendment, so these loons are just mad for no reason. Under the first amendment, they can be hateful all they want, they just can't directly threaten or injure through lying/defaming.

Since the beginning of this insanity, their intention was to trample all over our civil liberties so they could be supreme leader. They just sold the big lie that white people were losing their right to free speech.
