@Munumbis OK, here's a little list of tRump's attacks on free speech and free expression.

Threats to Freedom of the Press & Media
Targeting Journalists: The administration engaged in aggressive litigation to intimidate news outlets, often attacking organizations like CNN, The New York Times, and NPR.
Limiting White House Access: The administration reduced access to briefings for certain journalists and banned specific outlets, such as the Associated Press, from key meetings.
Investigation of Media: The administration launched investigations into independent media outlets, including NPR and PBS, and discussed defunding them.

Suppression of Protest and Assembly
Encouraging Lawsuits: Trump advocated for changing libel laws to make it easier to sue media organizations for unfavorable coverage.
Use of Federal Force: Federal agents were deployed to break up Black Lives Matter protests in cities like Portland, using rubber bullets, tear gas, and pepper spray on protestors and journalists.
Threats Against Protesters: Trump threatened to use the military to control protests and called for the arrest and deportation of foreign students protesting on campuses.

Restrictions in Academia and Government
Surveillance of Dissent: The administration used intensive surveillance, including drones and hidden cameras, to monitor protestors.
Campus Funding Threats: Threats were made to revoke federal funding for universities that failed to stop "illegal" protests or that supported specific political viewpoints, particularly concerning anti-Semitism and Palestine.
DEI & Political Ideology: Federal funding was threatened for schools advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, which critics say limits academic freedom.
"Prohibited" Words: Federal agencies were instructed to stop using specific words and phrases in official documents.
Targeting Critics: Students were targeted for deportation over op-eds, and federal employees faced surveillance for criticizing policies.

Abuse of Legal and Executive Power
Retaliation Against Critics: Trump used federal agencies to investigate and initiate legal action against individuals or organizations seen as political opponents.
Threats to Social Media: Trump threatened to shut down or heavily regulate social media companies for alleged anti-conservative bias.
Sanctioning Lawyers: The administration sought sanctions against law firms and lawyers representing individuals in lawsuits against the government.
