The president has been presiding over suppression, invisible in the US for decades.
The threat of the chairman of the FCC Brandan Car for ABC is a Hollywood cliché: “We can do it in a simple way” designed by Trump – Note In a recent interview with or a difficult way. In the previous days of the network Jimmy Kimmel live! has become the goal conservative anger Over someone’s comment About the murder of the right activist Charlie Kirk. So with the licenses to broadcast their branches in -depthABC and its maternal company, Disney, have chosen an easy way. Later that day the net announced uncertain suspension Kimmel’s show – now quasi/overturned to a great extent due to the pressure of the public and protest.
The Trump administration and its devoted magicians conducted a strange attack on the free speech over the weeks after the horrific murder of Kirk. There were employees starting from journalists to airline staff firedand students sent out. Thirty -three houses Republicans called for creating The choice of the commission Check out a “radical attack on America”. The Prosecutor General Bondi promised, and Then walked backObviously unconstitutional qualification of hatred. Meanwhile, journalists should function in the recently subordinated Department of the War Department of the Pentagon or Risk of loss Their press passes. And as a guest leading podcasa kirk, Vice President JD Vance personally attacks NationJournalism and spread misinformation About the financing of the magazine.
In his statements on the Kirk funeral service on Sunday Trump dismissed by His critics are as simple “shouting fascism over the canceled TV show late night, where anchor had no talents and ratings.” However, the right clearly uses the death of Kirk as a cover for escalation of repressive tactics, which noted the second term of Trump. Since his inauguration, the President has presided over the government’s suppression, invisible in the US for decades, a regime intended for cooling activity and dissent.
The administration conducted extensive attacks on the media. In February the White House clogs AP with his press presidential on the refusal of the news agency to accept Trump coins “America”. Later administration confiscated control Association from the White House correspondents in the pool. Huffpost and Reuters were by—Aneuzmax and FlameB.
Last week on the heels lawsuit against The Wall Street JournalThe President sued The New York Times for slander. (Judge promptly dismissed by a Term To the right, though Trump plans to recycle. SleeplessStill parent companies ABC and CBS settled down With the president for neat amounts of $ 15 million and $ 16 million apiece.
If he disassembled Stephen Colbert Late the show this summer, and 60 minutes‘Top Producer quit, refer to violation About the journalistic independence of the program. Croats on the US borders that also feel compression: the administration pushes to abbreviate The length of international journalism visas from five years to only 240 days.
Current Issue
Universities and museums are also among the many goals of the administration. Currently, Smithsonovsky’s exhibits when the White House is viewing them for evidence “woken up” thoughts, eg Attention to slavery. In its war with universities, the administration is occupied by federal financing hostage and threatening The status released from taxes is all in an attempt to bend higher education for their conservative ideological goals.
The institutional debris is huge, but people are also not deprived. Earlier this month, UC Berkeley reported 160 students and teachers, including the famous philosopher Judith Batler that their names were handed over to Trump administration due to uncertain charges of anti -Semitism. “Will I be named on the government list now?” Butler shut in a letter published in Nation“Will I be restricted on my journey? Will I survey?” And just last week the judge ordered deportation Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, owner of the green map and husband and father of US citizens.
Also, the rights of citizenship are not unbreakable. Florida Brian Mast representative introduce The bill, which initially provided for the provision on granting Secretary of State Mark Rubio to withdraw the passports of US citizens accused of supporting terrorism. Once the critics have noted that the provision can be used to political cancellation This is.
The works lost, canceled documents collected: America was in a similar territory before. During the red fear of the 1940s and 50s, millions of federal workers were checked for potential communist associations; 2700 were fired and another 12,000 fell. In Hollywood, hundred were on the black list while the university teachers were tighten Before the Committee on Nee -American Activities. If playwright Arthur Miller – long -standing participant by Nation—Az in 1954, declared for a passport in 1954 concealed Communist sympathies. Miller wanted to visit Web.
The witches hunting subsided with the help of those who, when they forced to choose between the simple and difficult path, gathered the courage to go last. Brander Edward R. Morou and his CBS network played an important role by producing a number of scorching reports On Red Demagogorization, Joseph McCarty. But the thousands Daily Americans Political winds also dared to fight censorship and restore free speech. In 1954, after Republicans missing The average election, the Senate copied McCarty. Twenty-two of his republican senators joined the Democrats to condemn him.
Disagreement is always possible. A few weeks ago the Democrats in Congress promised introduce A bill on strengthening legal protection for people who are politically pursued by the government. With the party, this step is largely symbolic. However, given the efforts of the Trump administration on cow’s opponents, even the symbolic opposition is preferable to anyone. Liberal nonprofit organizations also have rallied together Fundraising in support of efforts to strengthen democracy, such as legal problems in the Trump administration.
In the editorial office about Makarti, Murow called Americans should not “drive fear in an unjustified era”. It’s hard not to feel that we now live during this age. But earlier the fever hunting for witches crashed earlier – and again.
Don’t let JD Vance silence our independent journalism
September 15 Vice -President JD Vance attacks Nation During the hosting Charlie Kirk’s show.
In the clip, seeing millions of times, Haens highlighted Nation In a dog whistle its extremely right followers. Predictably, the abuse of abuse follows.
During the 160 -year edition, which published a fierce, independent journalism, we acted with the belief that dissent is the highest form of patriotism. We were criticized by both democratic and republican owners – and we are glad that the White House is reading Nation. As long as Vnes is free to criticize us and we have freely criticized it, the American experiment will continue as we should.
To correct the entry on the false requirements of Vance about the source of our financing: Nation The readers are proudly supported as you who support independent journalism and will not intimidate the authorities.
Representatives of the Vnes and Trump administration also outlined their plans for extensive repression against progressive groups. Instead of calling for national healing, the administration uses the death of Kirk as a reason for a coordinated attack on the enemies of Trump on the left.
Now we know Nation is the front and the center on their mind.
Your support today will do our critical work possible in the following months and years. If you believe in the right first amendment to preserve the free and independent press, please donate today.

More than Nation
Too easily rejected as hyperbole, the Antifa myth is used as a weapon to destroy the domestic opposition.
They effectively manage our destinies, but at heart they know that they are tight, pitiful and insufficient, and it eats them.
Foreign boots threw most of the racist rhetoric, which followed the murder of Charlie Kirk. And yet it only acquired the craving, because there is a lot of home racism for operation ….
