BREAKING: President Trump warns European countries that an anti-free speech Digital Service Act tax on American companies will be met with an immediate super tariff of 100%.

As the US Supreme Court said, the power tax is the power to destroy. Hands (and taxes) off our rights!

[Ryan Bangert @ryanlbangert]

Colorado is at it again. Gov. Polis recently signed a bill that attempts, once again, to censor and punish speech the government doesn’t like.

This comes in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s EMPHATIC 8-1 ruling in Kaley Chiles’ case, which upheld free speech for counselors

Pro-life win!

Delaware officials have agreed to pay $50K and stand down on the state's unconstitutional abortion speech law.

Pregnancy centers shouldn't be forced to speak messages that undermine their mission.

Once the state can more easily connect speech to identity, people learn the lesson:

Say less. Say it softer. Avoid the controversial topic. Pretend the silence is consensus.

Age verification may be sold as “safety.”

But in countries already willing to send police to your door over memes, private texts, religious quotes, and jokes, identity verification can become something much more dangerous: a tool for chilling lawful expression.

[Greg Lukianoff @glukianoff]

If you’re wondering why I’m so worried about identity and age verification in the UK and EU, start here.

These governments already have a known disregard for free speech. We have no reason to trust them with new tools to identify who is saying what online.

The two pending Supreme Court cases on state laws that protect women's sports are easy: The challenged laws define who may play in girls’ and women’s sports on the basis of sex, not on the basis of gender identity. Rather than discriminate on the basis of gender identity, they disregard gender identity. Boys can’t play on girls’ teams, and that’s true both for boys who identify as male and for those who identify as female. These rulings ought to be unanimous. 1/

Brittany was 24 weeks pregnant with a surrogate baby when she discovered she had cancer.

Then things got worse.

The gay couple the boy was intended for wanted him “immediately terminated.”

Brittany refused abortion, and the couple threatened to abandon both the surrogate and the baby.

They threatened lawsuits against Brittany and the hospital.

Her team was even afraid to treat her without consulting lawyers.

When adoption was offered, “the fathers stated they didn’t want their ‘DNA out there’ being raised by someone else.”

They wanted a “death certificate.”

Ashley was ultimately induced early at 25 weeks, and the baby boy died shortly after because his male purchasers refused to give him life-saving care.

Ashley said the experience left her feeling like a “rented-out uterus.”

She said she would have given the baby “every chance of survival.”

This horrifying story reinforced how inherently exploitative surrogacy is.

Ban surrogacy now.

On this day in 1972, President Nixon signed Title IX into law, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex and opening the door for women's equal academic and athletic opportunities.

We knew what a woman was 54 years ago, and we know what a woman is now.

A surrogate mother who was carrying a baby girl and recently received a diagnosis of a treatable fetal heart condition. Instead of support, she faced intense pressure to terminate.

We'd love for you to join us in praying for this family.

The SPLC is a scam and a fraud.

[Sean Nelson @Sean_ADFIntl]

Just to add to @JudiciaryGOP about SPLC being totally discredited:

Today, *I* was added to the SPLC's "hate list."

They called me an "anti-LGBTQ+" "Suit & Tie Extremist."

Compared me to "neo-Nazis."

Why?

Because I testified last year on religious persecution in Nigeria.

Seriously.

I spoke to @HouseAppropsGOP & @HouseForeignGOP about our cases that "have involved Christians unjustly imprisoned by Sharia courts, false allegations of crimes merely for evangelism or protecting Christian converts or operating charities, Christians kidnapped and tortured, girls taken from their parents and forced into marriages and forcefully converted to Islam, and both Christians and minority Muslims charged with blasphemy accusations."

I talked about visiting targeted villages in Nigeria whose pastors had literally been beheaded.

I sat next to the Chair of @USCIRF and a Nigerian expert from Council on Foreign Relations.

But SPLC are such smear merchants, that they want to tag me and my testimony on literal mass atrocities as somehow the views of an "anti-LGBTQ+ extremist."

The images are what SPLC claims about me, and what I actually spoke about. Here's the receipts.

The SPLC can't do basic research. They are utterly discredited. Don't trust anything they say.

The Southern Poverty Law Center was:

-Misleading donors

-Paying informants to organize and execute events with extremists

-Manufacturing hate to raise more money

-Training prosecutors at the Biden DOJ to target political opponents

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

The EU's "trusted flagger" system under the #DSA is one of the most insidious censorship mechanisms you've never heard of.

The EU certifies approved organizations to flag content for removal — fast-tracked, with built-in platform deference. Then it pays them to do it. Many specialize in policing "hate" and "disinformation" — categories elastic enough to swallow legitimate speech.

And they are not independent. They are EU-funded, EU-certified, and EU-directed.

American platforms, American users, American speech — all subject to whoever Brussels decides to trust and bankroll.

@HennaVirkkunen is now consulting on expanding these guidelines. U.S. interests should be paying close attention.

This minister was arrested for reading John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes him shall not perish but have eternal life.” What could perish is free expression as regulators target bad "influences." https://t.co/kKWyD5zopL
