Pay attention, you are about to be made a criminal

The House just overwhelmingly passed a fascist bill — that if passed into law — will not only muzzle your speech but smother truth and subject you to criminal charges. The thuggish fascism of Zionist Israel is taking root here. The crackdowns, rooftop snipers, beatings, arrests. Brown Shirt attacks and expulsion from universities are just the beginning.
Stand up, folks, or be prepared to live on your knees.
BREAKING NEWS!
Chris Hedges has been dropped from the REAL NEWS NETWORK!
Several hours ago I got a notice from Hedges’ Substack headlined: “My Show on The Real News Network has been canceled because of my critiques of the Democratic Party and Joe Biden”:
I was just informed by Max Alvarez, the Editor-in-Chief at The Real News, that they will no longer run my show. The reason for the cancellation, he said, is that my critiques of Biden, especially for the genocide in Gaza, jeopardizes his nonprofit status. My last show with Dennis Kucinich, who is running as an independent for Congress in Ohio, was removed from the site.
I will resurrect the show on an independent platform, although it may take me a few weeks to get this set up.
I saw the recent interview with Kucinich and follow Hedges closely. Nothing he has done recently is out of character with the excellent journalism he has always done. Make no mistake: One of the greatest journalists has been silenced.
The fascist rope being woven by the Democrats and Republicans on the orders of Israel and the Zionist lobby is growing tighter.
UPDATE:
As of today, May 3 at 7:07 a.m., CT, the Real News Network website has nothing on their website about dumping Hedges. They do still have a link to his recent broadcast on technocapitalism and there is link to his now censored podcast. It is tragic to see this site — which has done a lot of good work — behave this way.
Suddenly dropping Hedges because of pressure from the Democratic Party is bad enough, but to do so and not even acknowledge and explain (apologize) to their readers is a special breed of cowardice and journalistic betrayal one would expect from the New York Times but not a worker-themed news organization.
Scrolling through a variety of corporate and alternative news sites and podcasts, I see no mention of what has happened.

Oh, man, Chris Hedges! That's a big enough name to make some heads spin. The repression is directly proportional to growing protest. Tough times here, and worse ahead. Lot of pain before things get better.
How sad and cowardly of the Real News Network. Courage really is the most rare attribute. People will continue to seek out Hedges’ work.
