America is in a very dangerous time, as the Charlie Kirk Assassination has spurred Donald Trump and his supporters to promote an attack on the First Amendment—freedom of speech, press, and assembly.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, White House Deputy Chief Of Staff Stephen Miller, and Vice President JD Vance have all declared war on what they call “enemies” of the left, who must be suppressed by government action, although Bondi has backed off somewhat after criticsm even by some Republicans.
This attack on the First Amendment is also causing some media outlets, such as the Washington Post, and even MSNBC, to fire certain commentators, and for some universities, airlines, and other corporations to fire those who have posted on social media, in a manner that their employers have decided is not acceptable.
And Trump has started a $15 billion lawsuit against the NY Times.
ICe (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) has also been engaged in abuse of power in their arrests of people who look or speak Spanish, and their rough treatment of those they detain.
These are all signs of Fascism in America, but those who believe in freedom of expression are refusing to back off.
There is NO justification for violence against anyone, but the record shows much more extremism by the RIGHT, rather than the LEFT!
Pam Bondi spent Tuesday backtracking after threatening Monday to crack down on people deemed guilty of hate speech for celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk and warning of investigations into office supply firms if they refused to print posters of the assassinated MAGA hero.

Pam Bondi either doesn’t understand the First Amendment or, worse, DOES understand it but doesn’t give a f—. Either way, she’s utterly unfit to be Attorney General.
Trump is just looking for an excuse, however far-fetched, to do what he wanted to do anyway, which is to become a dictator, destroy any opposition to his rule, etc.

We must not let the shooting of Charlie Kirk become Trump’s Reichstag fire.
Take heed from European history: this could be the pretext for the repression of the US president’s political opponents.
