Kiss the First Amendment Goodbye

This past Thursday, Donald Trump threatened, in effect if not in fact, to burn the Bill of Rights.

Trump promised that, if elected president again, he would:

• ban federal money from being used to label speech as misinformation or disinformation
• fire federal officials who have engaged in what he characterized as domestic censorship
• punish universities engaging in censorship activities with cuts to federal funding

Don't dismiss the meshugah.  His plans include:

• unilateral executive orders
• legislation that would need some degree of congressional approval

Be afraid - be very afraid.  Or better yet, get involved in local politics.  To paraphrase the late Rep. John Lewis, grass-roots activism is one of the best weapons we have for progressive political change.
