Massive Free Speech Victory!

Ireland's government has abandoned its proposed hate speech law, which would have allowed the police to enter homes and search phones and computers for wrongthink

This is wonderful news that gives us momentum to beat back totalitarianism worldwide!

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

The Democratic Party's strategy is to beat President Trump in the courtroom rather than the ballot box. This will backfire in November. Even worse, it is profoundly undemocratic.

America deserves a President who can win at the ballot box without compromising our government’s separation of powers or weaponizing the courts. You can’t save democracy by destroying it first.

The Democrats are afraid they will lose in the voting booth, so instead they go after President Trump in the courtroom.

I’m also running against President Trump in this election. The difference is I’m challenging him on his record. His lockdowns during Covid. His atrocious environmental record. His cozy relationship with corporate America. His support for the war machine. His failure to root out waste and corruption in Washington. His service to the billionaire class. His bloating of the national debt. These are the issues that shape American lives.

I'll challenge him on these things, but the Democrats won't. You know why? Because they pursue the very same policies.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

Trump blocked from the ballot in Colorado. When a court in another country disqualifies an opposition candidate from running, we say, “That’s not a real democracy.” Now it’s happening here.

@elonmusk I have posed this ISSUE before and was ignored, as I am not rich or famous, but honestly I am tired of every time (which is almost NEVER) that I want to comment or send a message to seek information I am "locked out"

@Jan__Dance @PatriotLiv @simonateba @MELANIATRUMP Actually, you are just as unfair, the blue is what she wore to the Inauguration yes and you are comparing that to what other First Ladies wore to the Inauguration Balls not their husband's inaugurations.

You are not going to like this tweet so turn away if you are likely to be triggered:

I am a very optimistic person; I am a fighter for Western values and liberties; I am a dogged defender of science, reason, and common sense. I must say though that I am unsure that the West can recover from its multifront civilizational suicide. Yes, I've talked about these issues for decades and wrote a book about it but the past few weeks have crystallized the extent to which the problem has become intractable. It will be a long and ultimately bloody demise and the West will be the first society in recorded history to fully self-implode due to its parasitic ideological rapture. It is a gargantuan Greek tragedy that will shape the future of humanity. This is not hyperbole. Your grandchildren will pay a very high price for your "progressive" arrogance rooted in the pursuit of Unicornia that only exists in the recesses of deeply flawed parasitized minds.

Never in history, has a person with more bonafides, gravitas and manifest destiny offered US their service at such a crucial moment in civilized humanity's timeline.

ALL BUSINESSES should be barred from donating any funds (or the like - - gifts, conventions, workshops, trips, etc.) to any political group (parties, pacs, or politicians)!!!

[James Miller @realmeetjames]

Pharmaceutical companies should be barred from giving money to politicians.

[The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial]

“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”

@mtaibbi @mtaibbi does this mean that after all the hype, it seems to be business as usual again at Twitter?
I know that I don't get notifications like I should. :(

[Cassi Merten @cassimerten]

How misogynistic can you get!!! Lesbians are no longer women whom are attracted to women. Nope, now they are "non-men". Isn't that destroying gay rights? And women's rights?
Non-men...think about the implication of being a "non"

[Cassi Merten @cassimerten]

@TuckerCarlson @elonmusk @justinbwells I follow Tucker, I checked the notifications and Twitter has now FAILED 3 times to send me a notification about Tucker's episodes!!!
Can you actually hire a tech guy #elon_musk ?
Might there be a better platform like #Rumble, Tucker?

[Cassi Merten @cassimerten]

@TuckerCarlson Tucker and @elonmusk , I follow you and have even set to receive notifications for your posts and yet, neither of your Ep.s have shown in my feed or notifications....is #shadowbanning still a thing???

@elonmusk I stayed off for a LONG time and have been slowly coming back.....but EVERY time I log in and do anything....follow someone or like a tweet, my account gets locked....WTF

[Cassi Merten @cassimerten]

The version of the story that I learned was different ... The AI's response was "If you have to ask then you are not ready for the answer."
Years ago one of the PJs teaching training at Knox ask us kids what the truth was....most of the time it's what you believe.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Old joke about agnostic technologists building artificial super intelligence to find out if there’s a God.

They finally finish & ask the question.

AI replies: “There is now, mfs!!”

[Cassi Merten @cassimerten]

How do you scream about systemic racism and overwhelmingly trust all government bodies that would enforce said racism...

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Once again, the newest Pew poll shows that Democrats like and respect and trust the CIA (54%), FBI (65%) and DHS (56%), whereas the GOP harbors far more skepticisms toward these agencies.

For liberals: the question is not what happened to me, but what happened to *you*:
