Thoughts On The Trump Team's Signal Chat About Bombing Yemen

Censorship Violates The Rights Of The Speaker And Of The Hearer
What people are missing about Trump's new policy of deporting pro-Palestine protesters on the grounds that their activism is contrary to US "foreign policy interests" is that it's not just an attack on the activists' political speech, it's also an attack on US citizens' right to hear criticism of their government's foreign policy.
