All eyes are on Iran — and for good reason — but today we zoom out to the root issue underneath it all: free speech as the baseline for human liberty. Pope Leo delivers a shockingly direct warning to Europe about "Orwellian" anti-free speech laws, while Keir Starmer escalates the UK’s crackdown on X under the flimsiest "safety" pretense imaginable. Meanwhile, Australia introduces a truly terrifying hate speech bill that threatens prison time for speech that could theoretically cause fear — even retroactively. This is what censorship becomes. This is why it matters. And this is why we cannot afford to sit down, shut up, and self-censor while the West is being uprooted in real time.
