Gaslit and Gagged: Free Speech in 2025

Why silence isn’t an option when free speech is under fire

As always, we cover this week’s most toxic topics and we certainly had a lot to unpack.

In this episode of the Politoxic Podcast, we dive right into the messy state of free speech in America right now. We talk about how comedy is getting censored while hate speech somehow gets a pass, and what that says about who holds power. We also dig into the way authoritarian tactics creep into everyday life: through gaslighting, debates that cause more harm than good, and a political climate that leaves people destabilized.

But we are not all doom and gloom. We get into why activism, in all its forms, matters more than ever: whether it’s showing up in the streets, speaking out online, or just refusing to be silent when it counts.

This is an episode about community, planting seeds for the future, and remembering that hope isn’t optional.

If we want a real democracy, we’ve got to stay loud, stay engaged, and keep pushing back.

And always stay toxic. Politoxic.
