Authoritarianism is rising, but resistance begins with a simple rule: “Do not obey in advance.” Inspired by Timothy Snyder’s, On Tyranny,  FSTV is standing with movement organizers, the targeted, and the resilient. Together, we can take collective action to build a just world. Don’t teach power what it can get away with—stand firm, stay strong, and resist. Free Speech TV is here to support the fight for justice.

This week on The Stephanie Miller Show, legal analyst Glenn Kirschner joins to discuss Donald Trump's actions since his inauguration and why his strategies won't hold up in court. From unconstitutional maneuvers to decisions forcing states to step in and protect their people, Glenn explains the legal and civic pushback Trump is likely to encounter. Tune in for an insightful discussion on the constitutional challenges ahead, the resilience of state governments, and what these moves mean for democracy moving forward.

This week on The Thom Hartmann Program, Thom dives into the unprecedented concentration of wealth and power on display at Trump’s inauguration and what it signals for the future of American democracy: Making America as white as possible, stripping women and people of color of political and economic power, dismantling workers' rights, voter suppression, weaponizing Christianity to justify brutal policies, empowering militias to terrorize political opponents, and maintaining a government that exclusively serves the interests of rich white men.
