Here’s the truth. Mayorkas illegally paroled Laken Riley’s killer into the US. He had a criminal record. He then committed a crime against a child in New York. No prosecution. In fact, HE GOT A WORK PERMIT. And then he killed Laken. Mayorkas knew *all* this. He lied about it
BRAZIL SHOULD TERRIFY YOU
Just a day and a half ago, it seemed like things were calming in Brazil. The Folha de São Paulo, the New York Times of Brazil, editorialized against censorship. The head of the Brazilian Bar Association gave a strong statement in support of freedom of expression. And the President of Brazil’s Supreme Court said the conflict between Brazil and X, formerly known as Twitter, was over. “People talk a big game but don’t act on their words,” he said
All of that has once again changed. Yesterday, Brazil’s President Lula called for criminalizing lying. Given that everybody lies, Lula is proposing to give the government the power to arrest anyone he wants. Thousands of Workers Party activists took to X yesterday to demand that I be arrested for things I said during my testimony before the Brazilian Senate. And today, the head of X in Brazil announced they have quit out fear for their safety.
I am not afraid for myself. As I said on X a few days ago, I fear neither the devil nor de Moraes, the Supreme Court justice rapidly turning himself into Brazil’s dictator. I am taking all necessary precautions to ensure that I can leave Brazil safely and without being arrested. You can help by sharing this video and spreading the word about what is happening here.
And yet, what is happening in Brazil terrifies me nonetheless. I love this country and its people and fear that it is on the cusp of totalitarianism. A significant share of the Left wants to incarcerate their political enemies. Respected Brazilian journalists say with a straight face that the government must engage in mass censorship in order to protect democracy. Brazil is everything that George Orwell feared and worse. The Brazilian government appears to view “1984” not as a dystopia to avoid but rather as a guide to a better future.
I would be less worried if Brazil were small and irrelevant, but it’s not. Brazil is the largest and most important nation in Latin America. Just this week, top Brazilian government representatives were in China talking about how China, one of the most totalitarian nations in the world, is a model for Brazil. Brazil is an inspiration for European totalitarians who have weaponized government intelligence agencies to spread disinformation about their political enemies and are implementing a censorship system to control the entire Internet.
The most terrifying part of all of this is the marriage of psychopathic government leaders like Lula and de Moraes with totalitarian activists and voters. Governments have successfully brainwashed a significant percentage of the population into supporting mass censorship. Young adults raised on social media are today more intolerant than the students in China’s Cultural Revolution in China who denounced their teachers and sent them off to work camps to be tortured.
At the same time, people with a mentality no different from the people who ran the Stasi and the Gestapo are in charge of intelligence agencies in Europe and the United States.
Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives renewed legislation that gives the US government the right to spy on Americans suspected of collaborating with foreign governments. The result will be McCarthyism on steroids. The FBI will be able to spy on any American citizen who dares to criticize the war in Ukraine. The US government will label people who oppose endless wars in Eurasia as “political extremists,” ruining their careers, or worse.
During the rise of Communism and fascism in Europe, many Jews and other persecuted people could flee to the United States. Where will we flee if the United States continues down the road to totalitarianism? Not Europe. Not Brazil. Is any country safe in a world where every movement, transaction, and thought is being monitored?
I keep waiting for the downward spiral to hit bottom, and it never does. I am naturally optimistic, but sometimes, that means I have tended toward wishful thinking. Such wishful thinking is dangerous and irresponsible in moments like this one. So, too, is passivity.
We must act. That starts with standing up to the bullies, all of whom are cowards on the inside. Elon Musk stood up to the bully de Moraes last week and appears to be holding strong. Tonight, he will hold a Spaces with the controversial former president of Brazil, whom the Supreme Court has prevented from running for office again for another eight years.
My colleagues and I are building a new free-speech movement. All of the organizations we used to rely upon to defend human rights, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and ACLU, have been taken over by totalitarians demanding censorship. We are gathering in London in June. We are starting our own free-speech NGOs around the world.
We can’t do this alone. Please share this post, consider subscribing to my publication, Public, and make a donation. People are risking their lives to defend free speech for all human beings. You don’t need to risk yours, but we desperately need your help. Things won’t calm down until we stand up to the tyrants and remove every one of them from power.
Hateful people think everybody else is as hateful as them.
It's why they call disagreement 'hatred', because they themselves hate people who disagree with them.
It is all projection.

En mycket, mycket sorglig dag för Sverige. Vi blir medlem av kärnvapenalliansen NATO, som helt styrs av USA, det land som varit i särklass mest involverade i krig de senaste 100 åren. Sverige har varit unika i världen, inte haft krig sedan 1809, varit neutrala, ofta medlat i världens väpnade konflikter och varit en förebild för många länder, framför allt i Centralamerika, Sydamerika och Afrika. Sedan kriget i Ukraina inleddes övergav Sveriges politiker i princip över en natt vår unika alliansfrihet, som hade ett stöd av majoriteten av befolkningen.
Detta mycket sorgliga beslut är ännu ett led i att den nationella suveräniteten urholkas till förmån för överstatliga organ med mycket tveksam demokratisk legitimitet.
Vill du förhindra att de mäktigaste får totalt världsherravälde, skriv på ”Exit WHO”, som Läkaruppropet är en av initiativtagarna till: https://t.co/r9G0Kcef5H. Annars är det fara värt att demokrati blir en kort parentes i mänsklighetens historia. Om du bor i ett annat land, skriv på motsvarande upprop där.

We should introduce Twitter News.
It would be a 20 minute clip each day covering the most relevant topics from an unbiased viewpoint. No political agenda, just facts.
Thoughts?
Twitter yesterday censored "What Is A Woman?" After, Twitter's head of trust and safety resigned. Then, this morning, @elonmusk personally boosted the documentary.
Musk did the right thing. People should be able to see “What Is a Woman?” even if it upsets advertisers.
Great job by @elonmusk to personally intervene in ensuring that "What is a Woman" is widely available for viewing. As I explain in The Parasitic Mind, freedom of speech is a deontological principle. Once you say "I believe in freedom of speech BUT..." you don't believe in freedom of speech (notwithstanding the usual caveats about direct incitement to violence, defamation, etc.).
