A repugnant tactic of authoritarianism is categorizing people’s desire for or exercise of freedom as illness that government should suppress.

In America, there has long been resistance against an effort to similarly have the United … Read more

The smell of fresh Australian air in Julian Assange’s nostrils is a liberty neither he nor most of the rest of the world thought would ever be afforded a man who so tenaciously defied the planet’s strongest superpower. Credited with having exposed US military actions through the publication of documents leaked by whistleblower Chelsea (Bradley) … Read more

We want to congratulate ‘Grok author Laurie Ortolano. The Nackey Loeb School has chosen to honor her with its First Amendment Award on October 26th at the NH Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College.
Barry Obama is concerned about America’s divided conversation. “I’m much older than you… when I was coming up, you had three TV stations, and people were getting a similar sense of what is true and what isn’t, what was real and what was not.” Translation: We had message control, and now we don’t.

Gov. Chris Sununu is no friend of free speech. In 2018, he signed a therapy ban which made it illegal for licensed counselors to help gender-confused children live as their own sex, even though we know that the vast majority of those children would be comfortable living as their biological sex as adults unless they’re … Read more
