The Assault On Free Speech Isn't About Politics.

Matt Taibbi Statement To Congress On The Twitter Files. Whether coming from the political left or the political right, the assault on the founding principle of our democracy - free speech, should frighten every American. Whether you call it Cancel Culture, or collaboration between social media and the government to silence critics who have different views from yours, censorship has no place in a functioning democracy. The fact that current censorship efforts come from the left makes them no less sinister than the censorship of the Fifties, and the communist scare. We will either be a beacon of liberty and the right to say unpopular things, or we won't. I stand with every American who supports the right of my fellow citizens to speak their mind. End of rant.
