In this morning’s Koffee Klatch Robert Reich made the statement that the Trump regime wants to “chill all dissent”. They are achieving this on multiple fronts.
·
Detaining
and disappearing international students who have been critical of the Trump regime or some position
of it (e.g. Israel/Palestine)
·
Detaining
and disappearing immigrants who the Trump regime believes (no evidence
necessary) are criminals (e.g. Venezuela gang)
·
Removing
security clearance and federal building access to law firms that have any
connection with previous lawsuits against him
·
Forcing
universities to toe the line on DEI, Palestine, etc. or lose millions in
federal funding.
· Attacking journalists and media corporations who speak out against the Trump regime
These examples are just
that - examples. Trump is setting them as examples of what he can do to
discourage any future dissent by anyone. Reich: This is what every authoritarian, totalitarian dictator has done going
right back to Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin. This is exactly what we have seen
from Putin in Russia, Erdogan in Turkey, Orban in Hungary. These are attacks on
individual’s freedom to speak out…”
It’s the end of March
and Spring is coming soon here in Canada. But in America there is a chill in
the air coming from Washington D.C., sending shivers up the spine of all
freedom loving people.
