All the ‘Free Speech!’ centrists, leftists-turned-conservatives, Intellectual Dark Web types will have nothing to say about this dangerous and authoritarian trend. (They’re too busy policing placards at campus protests.)

Their mantra is “hurray for us and to hell with everyone else”. This is resurrected from WWII where industrialists in Germany and the US funded the rise of Hitler.
Well threaten all they want. Create a team with the money to fight. The People like me will support something like this. Don’t underestimate The People. There are no Knights coming to the rescue. It will be little guys and gals like me.
Surely they’re just seeing that Trump got $16M for being correctly identified as a rapist. He didn’t even have to stand up and declare that digital rape doesn’t count.
When do we get to sue FOX for disinformation, slandering people… When do the Biden s get to sue MAGA. How do we protect our country from the enemies within
Republicans are like President-elect Musk, their freedom of speech supports only their free speech, not ours. The capitulation by ABC only stiffens republicans resolve to threaten us if we exercise free speech and say something critical about them. Fascism at work.
Looking at the incoming cabinet, it’s hard not to think of the Dunning-Kruger effect in action. Overconfidence and lack of expertise seem to be the theme—perfect for making decisions that impact millions. Competence matters, but apparently, it's not a priority.
The justifiable fear over this, among media outlets, demonstrates that nobody in positions of power trust our courts. These threats SHOULD be perceived as empty, because the law on this is clear. But smart, wealthy, connected elites know damn well that US courts are not reliable.
And surely our "co-president" Chief Oligarch and noted "Free Speech Absolutist" Elon Musk will jump in with his army of lawyers and defend free speech here!"
The ultimate goal for DT & his minions is state run media
Waiting for a group of wealthy leftists to purchase or create an outlet seems logical except they think they’ll be fine (financially) under the Reich so really, why would they?
Trump and its allies have increasingly weaponized defamation threats and lawsuits to intimidate journalists and suppress unfavorable coverage. These tactics, while rarely successful in court, aim to undermine press freedom and discourage accountability—an alarming trend for a democratic society
We can’t take the ‘Free Speech’ argument at face value. They want us focused on cleverly pointing out their hypocrisy when we’re missing what it’s actually code for:
My speech is more important than yours & therefore needs to be allowed everywhere.
Let them do it, they won't win. If they want to spend their time and money on these lawsuits, go ahead. Good luck having having Hegseth and his mommy risk perjury by testifying that Pete is a good boy who never gets drunk and sexually assaults women.
It's truly chilling and alarming. I've been writing that we need to learn from what the opposition in Poland did during their right-wing government, not Hungary obviously. But I don't know how their media reacted during that time. Does anyone here know? People must dig deep to find some courage.
Yup. Lots of "free speech absolutists" like *checks notes* Elon Musk haven't got a f****** thing to say about this. Hmm. Maybe "free speech" means they just want to use their favorite slurs without consequence.
I am so done being angry and surprised. My new plan is to put my head down for four years and laugh my ass off at every disenchanted and angry MAGA who feels used and abused by “Agent Orange “
Remember when the GOP was screaming daily about "cancel culture"? I seem to recall Donald's co-president describing himself as a "free speech absolutist," too.
The implied threat is that even without a valid claim, famously-litigious Musk and Trump will bury anybody under legal costs for saying mean things about their army of hideous dickheads.
Fraud and Violence works, ask Trump? Especially when greeted by the Kumbaya Cowardice of Joe Biden and Merrick Garland. Weak cowardly populations will always run and hide behind a strong man. In the United States case that Strongman is an old fat felon and digital Rapist. A true reflection!
If the left had the same reach and plethora of independent media like the right, I wonder if Trump would try to sue all of them. There are HUNDREDS of right-wing independent media pushing propaganda, but there are only a handful doing it for the left. We need to get those numbers up!
You told America and they clutch their pearl that these bastards are FASCISTS.
After 6 years still they pretend they are blind and deaf to it.
Cannot wait to see the total destruction of the great Satan by the hands of their most evil vile leader.
My popcorn is ready!
I would ask that if Trump and these appointees are as dangerous as we are told, then doesn’t Biden have an obligation to order the military to not allow Trump to take office? We are told that Trump is a threat to democracy and yet we allow him to take office. Why aren’t we stopping this?
File a lawsuit against me because I’m just speaking facts that #DumbAssDonald is not smarter than a 5th grader.
In fact he’s dumber than Hobert and GangGreene and they’re 100% stupid
45's picks don't want the truth to come out. They demand impunity. They do not believe in the First Amendment or the rule of law, unless they can twist them to their own nefarious purposes.
I'll keep sharing this, as it's both urgent & basically VITAL.
Listen to what these two ladies have to say. Contact the mentioned senators & demand that they act on this NOW.
You have a chance to stop trump from being inaugurated!
I'd join you but I'm 'just' a Norwegian. https://youtu.be/RE-mlMmrsxM?si=Hx1Sjzq1WMxrQrJm
And pay attention to the clip of Jamie Raskin there.

Organized Crime.
loophole to use and avoid legal action from 🍊 face baby man?
Use the words “allegedly”, “maybe”, “we are looking into the possibility that”, “if the president was to”, “if we were to believe that…”
I mean, the idea is to inform right?.. and to avoid their trap!
