Prison-Style Free Speech Censorship Is Coming for the Rest of Us: The Trump administration wants to make it illegal to possess literature it deems dangerous.

How will they know if you possess this "dangerous" literature?

Because you're on their secret list of "domestic terrorists," like supposed membership in Antifa, as with the case of Daniel Sanchez Estrada, who has been in custody since July, much of it in solitary confinement, for allegedly moving a box of anarchist zines from his parents’ house to another residence in his hometown of Dallas.
