A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

More misogyny aimed at Greta Thunberg. Anyone who thinks she’d speak out for any reason other than moral conviction has no clue how women with platforms are treated- even if they silently comply. Netanyahu’s massacre is globally enabled. So she is incredibly brave to this.

An understatement but at least movement.
