Free speech in America is under attack, with constitutional guarantees being eroded by the very people sworn to uphold them.
The chilling effect is undeniable: We've seen the cancellation of shows hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and the firing of political analyst Matthew Dowd, all under pressure from the FCC and the Trump administration. This isn't just about entertainment or a few individuals; it's a calculated effort to silence dissent and control the national conversation. When powerful voices are muzzled, the public loses a vital source of information and critique, leaving our democracy to die in darkness.
But we will not stand idly by. At Lincoln Square, we refuse to capitulate to this pressure. We will continue to fight for the rights of all Americans to speak freely, to question authority, and to hold those in power accountable. The struggle for a free press and a vibrant democracy is ongoing. We are committed to ensuring that the light of truth continues to shine — no matter how hard others try to extinguish it.
We will never bend the knee to Trump.
We will not let our democracy perish in the dark. It's our duty as Americans to defend democracy. Together.
Sincerely,
Lincoln Square
