AOTR RED ALERT: FREE SPEECH

Authors of The Resistance is sounding the alarm on the president’s unthinkable declaration to revoke freedom of speech—a direct assault on the bedrock of democracy.

This is not governance—it is authoritarian escalation. A calculated campaign to silence dissent, criminalize critique, and dismantle the very voice of the people. Journalists are being detained. Protesters are surveilled. Whistleblowers are branded as traitors. The chilling effect is spreading: classrooms, newsrooms, and community centers now operate under threat.

This is not policy—it is persecution. A deliberate erosion of civil liberties unfolding in real time. The president’s decree has emboldened agencies to target artists, educators, and organizers. Social media accounts are being suspended without cause. Books are being banned. A poet was arrested for reading aloud in a public park.

The message is clear: speech is now a crime.

Senator Warren called it “a constitutional collapse.” We call it a breach. A violation of human dignity, sovereignty, and the sacred right to speak truth to power.

We demand full accountability, immediate reversal of this declaration, and federal protection for all who dare to speak.

Silence is complicity. Speech is resistance.
