Trump Era Repression Trickles Down To Student Press Censorship

July 7, 2026 Hank Kennedy, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. Resist! Censorship, Journalism, Schools, Trump Administration

The Wingspan ran a cartoon in January by Aidan McClaren, comparing modern-day actions of ICE with the Palmer Raids against American radicals in the 1920s and the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans. The well-known quote from George Santayana appears at the top: “Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.” A bystander observes, “Why does this look familiar…?” Political cartoonists in newspapers across the nation have made similar comparisons over the years, but the Wingspan is different, and its case differs from previous FAIR reports on censorship of cartoons, in that it is a student newspaper.

San Jose , CA – On June 30, San Jose State University Professor Dr. Sang Hea Kil of the Justice Studies Department held a victory rally after her arbitration allowing her to return go with full backpay. This came after a protracted campaign where she bravely resisted her firing due to her vocal disapproval of the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Palestine. She was the first tenured professor to be fired from a public university for speaking against the genocide in the wake of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. At the rally outside of the Martin Luther King Library, Dr. Kil triumphantly exclaimed, “This is an incredible victory for free speech, academic freedom, student protest, freedom of assembly and pro-Palestine speech on campus and beyond.”

The Canary Debanked By Lloyds

July 1, 2026 The Canary. Educate! Censorship, Debanking, Media, The Canary, United Kingdom (UK)

The Canary has been debanked by Lloyds. Despite banking with them for almost a decade they are currently withholding a substantial amount of our money. We are left with barely any funds. Lloyds has not explained why it has taken this action. Despite multiple communications from us, the bank has not been forthcoming with its reasoning. The Canary is now in a financially precarious situation. We do not know when our money that Lloyds is holding will be returned. Moreover, we do not know how it will affect our ability to get another bank account in the future.

As Censorship Expands, Autonomous Libraries Are Filling The Gaps

June 9, 2026 Emily Drabinski, Truthout. Create! Anarchism, Censorship, Free Library, The Left

Like many urban systems, the Chicago Public Library (CPL) offers robust support for immigrant communities: collections in multiple languages, English language and citizenship classes, and voting rights events. In October 2025, as the invasion of Chicago by federal forces ramped up, the Uptown branch hosted an ICE-alert kit making event, inviting the public to assemble packets of whistles and zines informing neighbors about the violent occupation of the city. Until Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order banning Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from city-owned properties on October 6, public librarians could not legally prevent ICE agents from using their buildings.

Federal Unions Battle Trump’s Attempt To Muzzle Federal Workers

June 6, 2026 Mark Gruenberg, People's World. Resist! Censorship, Federal Employees, Nondisclosure Agreement, Trump Administration

That’s President Donald Trump’s message to the remaining two million federal employees who work for the government he has continued to shred since his election to a second term. Not content with firing at least 317,000 federal workers and trashing more than 30 of their union contracts, Trump wants to shut the rest up by forcing each of them—and future workers, too—to sign non-disclosure agreements. The reaction from three top federal worker unions—the Government Employees (AFGE), the Treasury Workers (NTEU), and the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE), a Machinists sector—is clear: It’s illegal under labor law governing federal workers and their boss-worker relations, and it’s unconstitutional, too.

Trump Broadens Crackdown On Media Sources In Federal Government

May 29, 2026 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. Educate! Censorship, Federal Workers, Nondisclosure Agreement, Trump Administration

President Donald Trump’s administration expanded its crackdown on news media sources, who work for the federal government, proposing a gag order for all U.S. government employees. It would cover “non-public, confidential, or proprietary information,” and infringe upon employees’ First Amendment right to freedom of speech. The information covered by the proposed non-disclosure agreement is far-reaching, including information related to “internal agency operations, personnel matters, procurement processes, or any sensitive, pre-decisional or deliberative material that is not currently publicly available.”

Why Did The American Psychiatric Association Cancel My Lecture On Gaza?

May 27, 2026 Mansoor Malik, Mondoweiss. Educate! American Psychiatric Association, Censorship, Palestine, Trauma

When the American Psychiatric Association invited me to deliver the Chester Pierce Human Rights Lecture at its annual meeting this month, I believed the organization was affirming a foundational principle of medicine and psychiatry: that human suffering deserves recognition regardless of politics, nationality, religion, or ideology. The lecture was intended to examine the psychological consequences of mass violence, especially for children and civilians trapped within conditions of war and collective trauma in Gaza. Hours before it was scheduled to begin, the lecture was suddenly canceled.

Iran Blasts YouTube Ban On Lego Mockery Videos

Iran’s Foreign Ministry is accusing YouTube of trying to “suppress the truth” by banning the account responsible for a series of viral Lego-style animations mocking the U.S.-Israeli war. The small [Iranian digital media] team known as Explosive Media has racked up tens of millions of views across several platforms, with slickly produced music videos mercilessly lampooning the Trump administration and glorifying Iran’s struggle against the U.S. and Israel in attacks that began at the end of February. Last week, Explosive Media had its channel suspended from YouTube for “violent content,” which its owners disputed.

Climate Coverage Plunges, Though Crisis More Dire Than Ever

April 15, 2026 Olivia Riggio, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. Educate! Censorship, climate crisis, Media, United States

The UN just released its 2025 Global Climate Report, and, predictably, the outlook for our earth is incredibly dire. The past 11 years were the 11 warmest on record, and Earth’s energy imbalance—the amount of solar energy absorbed versus the amount Earth radiates back into space—is also the highest on record. Greenhouse gas emissions continued to increase through 2025, despite the world crossing the 1.5°C threshold marked in the Paris Agreement above which the worst effects of global heating will take place. There is no shortage of urgent climate news right now.

US Satellite Firm Blacks Out Iran War Images

Planet Labs says it will “indefinitely withhold” satellite visuals of Iran and the wider Middle East war zone after a request from the US government and the Trump administration. In an email to customers, the firm said it is shifting to a “managed distribution” model, releasing imagery only case-by-case for “urgent, mission-critical requirements,” or when release is deemed “in the public interest.” Planet also said it will withhold imagery dating back to March 9, and it expects the policy to remain in effect until the conflict ends. On March 6, Planet Labs announced a mandatory 96-hour delay on new imagery collected over the Gulf states, arguing that near-real-time pictures could be exploited to “endanger allied, NATO, and civilian personnel.”

‘Kuffiyehs In Buchenwald’ Campaign Challenges Germany’s Anti-Palestinian Culture Of Remembrance

For more than ten years now, Germany has seen a large-scale campaign against alleged antisemitism that in reality targets nothing more than criticism of Zionism – or even criticism of Israeli policy. This campaign has been driven primarily by the major political parties, the mainstream media, and several foundations, and initially focused above all on the arts and cultural sectors. Those targeted included the Cameroonian historian Achille Mbembe, the U.S. philosopher Judith Butler, the Israeli sociologist Moshe Zuckermann, the former director of the Jewish Museum Berlin Peter Schäfer, the British musician Roger Waters, and the late Syrian artist Burhan Karkutli.

Psychoanalysts Are Resigning From The International Psychoanalytical Association

March 30, 2026 Palestine Mental Health Networks, Mondoweiss. Resist! Censorship, Genocide, International Psychoanalytical Association, mental health, Palestine, Resignations

Psychoanalysis understands, better than most disciplines, that silence is never neutral. What is not said does not disappear but returns, distorted, in symptoms. Freud called this the return of the repressed and built an entire method on the insight. What, it is worth asking, is the International Psychoanalytical Association’s (IPA) silence on the genocide in Gaza a symptom of? We are the Palestine Mental Health Networks, a collective of mental health professionals from twenty-three countries, brought together by our commitment to psychoanalytic principles and the fundamental dignity of all human beings — a category from which Palestinians are often excluded.

Free Speech For Me But Not For Thee

March 23, 2026 Andrew P. Napolitano, Consortium News. Educate! Censorship, FCC, Media, Trump Administration

The chair of the Federal Communications Commission has threatened to rescind the broadcast licenses of media entities that do not relate events in Iran or Ukraine as the Trump administration would like them to be related. He also attacked The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times for the same reasons. This followed by one day a verbal attack on CNN by the secretary of defense who made known his bitter unhappiness with CNN’s coverage of the Iran war. Yet, CNN is not regulated by the FCC, which only regulates broadcast media — not cable or streaming; and newspapers, thanks be to God, are totally unregulated.

Trump Administration Threatens Media Licenses And Treason Charges

The Trump administration is facing growing criticism after the chair of the Federal Communications Commission suggested that television broadcasters could lose their licenses if they air reporting about the ongoing war with Iran that the administration considers inaccurate. The warning came as President Donald Trump also escalated his attacks on news organizations, suggesting that media outlets reporting information he disputes about the conflict could face treason charges. Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr posted a message on social media Saturday that appeared to warn broadcasters about how they cover the war.

Crushing The Right To Conscientiously Object

March 10, 2026 Elizabeth Vos, Consortium News. Resist! Censorship, GI Resistance, Iran, Social Media, Wars and Militarism

As the U.S. and Israel’s deeply unpopular war with Iran enters its second week, social media platform X is censoring the accounts of people providing information to military servicemembers on how they can refuse to serve. This is particularly relevant as fears have grown that U.S. ground troops may enter the conflict. The Center on Conscience & War, an 80-year-old nonprofit that, according to its website, “advocates for the rights of conscience, opposes military conscription, and serves all conscientious objectors to war,” was banned on X for 12 hours.
