As a progressive, part of me is glad that Trump is cracking down on companies, orgs, and attacking free speech where he is legally able (threatening federal funding)

Why? Because I want people to build more resilient systems and operations.

If you’re a journalist, or creating content relying on free and censorship resistant speech, why are you reliant on government funding that you may critique at one point or another?

Build resistant funding streams. Stack bitcoin, which is resistance money, and live speaking truth to power.

Progressives learning centralized power ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. Of course not!

That's a big ask, considering the Progressive Era was based on the idea of using more centralized state power to advance society.

Word- sadly, the force of many of these moves and lack of pushback (from anyone, particularly the so-called equal Judicial) is leading to self-censorship for many. Especially around the domestic terrorism (ICE).
