Bondi:

"If you are a printing company and refuse to print Kirk vigils when asked, we can prosecute you" "and we have our civil rights unit investigating that"

We are done for. Its over.

If you had told me 20 years ago we would collapse into a totally authoritarianism system, id have laughed at you "that could never happen here" well, it has. 

And one more step into the abyss, related to press conferences. Now you have to get approved to speak.

"Secretary Pete Hegseth advanced a policy on media access. Not only does the policy require display of credentials, it also demands authorization before publishing information"

My issue is that its the government that is directly pressuring private enterprises to suppress totally legal speech.

If ABC, Disney, CNN. whatever woke up the next day "oooh, that was bad, we need to can him from our platform or we lose viewers" im ok with that. Private enterprise calling the shots, for their own platforms. That is fine.. But we have a president ordering his cabinet members to pressure/threaten/sue private enterprise and private citizens on legal speech he does not like. Which is dangerous.

"President Donald Trump suggested that the federal government might revoke the licenses of broadcast television networks that are “against” him."

Phrased that way, it sounds like an Obamabiden policy.  However, that's not exactly how it works.

Broadcasters are given access to spectrum on the basis that their broadcasts serve the public interest.  When you have hate peddlers like Disney pushing nothing except the most harmful side of a political narrative, it amplifies that harm.  It is not acting in the public interest.  PBS deservedly got bitchslapped for exactly this reason.

"public interest" is sort of vague however.  Hard to quantify and easily abused.  ( on both sides of the coin )

Wont get into the current state of the broadcasters, as i also agree mostly are tilted one way or another, but i do think the idea is still good.   Be nice to have truly unbiased shows to watch.

 The idea of public broadcasting is obsolete.

Yet another example of why we no longer have the right of free speech if you are not a club member:  "Supreme Court rejects Alex Jones’ appeal of $1.4 billion defamation judgment in Sandy Hook shooting"

Didn't look too close, but sounds like Hawaii just criminalized sarcastic humor and parody.  ( and a whole bunch of people are suing them ).

Sounds like we need to cut them off, along with Kaifornia.

We're gonna have to have a civil war to sort this out. Everyone knows it. No one wants to face it. We're going to either go with American Freedom, or English Authoritarianism. We get to pick... but it probably comes to blows. 

Its just one part of the societal cycle. Tho i have called it the 2nd civil war, i guess really its more of the 2nd fight for true Independence, than 'breaking free from the chains of your own country'. Its not 'just' states that want out, its nationwide. But i guess in a way its all fuzzy anyway, and does it really matter what you call it? And I cant be positive, but it feels like we are almost there, and will see it in the next couple of years. But 1/2 this country is ok with it getting more draconian and would fight back, and many states are a mixture to the point neither side has a majority...  Need more than 1/2 the population to rise up effectively, else its just death an chaos and no 'real' advance.

And yes, few really want war since those who are part of it, its rough for everyone on all sides, only the generations beyond get to see the benefits.

I don't think most people even really know or understand - what a civil war would be like - what it would be like to have your downtown become a battlefield where the blood draining off the fields turned the rivers red. 


We haven't known hardship like that for so long - that we think it is the only answer - when it is the WORST answer. 

But we may live to see it in our lifetimes. 

I hope not. I hope I get to live to die naturally of old age before it gets that bad. But sometimes - when I watched Charlie Kirk's neck being torn open I go, 

"Tell me were to go to enlist to fight back. I'm ready to give whatever I can to put an end to this."
