The Hound 9/15

Hi there,

It’s Monday. Today we’re talking about dozens losing their jobs for social media posts after Charlie Kirk’s murder, CBS News altering its editorial coverage in response to Trump pressure, and more.

We’re also tracking how the right is using tragedy to silence speech. Don’t let your voice be another target.

🖊️ Add your name to demand the media call out this crackdown for what it is — and protect the right to speak freely.

Read about this, and more, with today’s stories:
