CRITICAL Free Speech Case Unfolding In N. Dakota! w/ Steven Donziger
The Jimmy Dore Show
https://youtu.be/mSch7ZDg7ow

"In what legal experts are calling one of the most egregious abuses of the judicial system in U.S. history, Dallas-based oil tycoon Kelcy Warren and his company, Energy Transfer, the operator of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), are pushing forward with a controversial lawsuit against Greenpeace.

The case, widely denounced as a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP), is seen as a brazen attempt to silence climate activists and crush dissent against the fossil fuel industry.

Jimmy speaks with attorney Steven Donziger about the coalition of prominent attorneys and human rights advocates who have stepped in to monitor the trial, aiming to expose what they describe as a corporate assault on free speech and environmental justice."

Crooks and Liars · Jimmy Kimmel Absolutely Nails It Over Donald's Speech To CongressBy Conover Kennard

Trump to students and educators: "Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested."

So much of the Free Speech president.

And remember what happens when Free Speech is suppressed on college campuses. When students are vilified for their dissent: Kent State, Jackson State, People's Park.
