  1. RE: masto.ai/@Nonilex/117094327864

    This whole thread worthwhile, especially if you don’t want to deal with actually getting into the WaPo article. These blatant attempts to control-delete any negative dissent or history seem remarkable for vast scope and public machinations. Remember, all these years Americans thought they had freedom of press and First Amendment.

  2. Breaking News: Trump Administration gets new lawsuit over POTUS's Truth Social paywall.

    The Intercept Media and the Freedom of the Press Foundation are seeking to block a Trump Media & Technology Group service that sells faster access to President Donald Trump's Truth Social posts for up to $100,000 per month.

    The suit argues the pay for play arrangement violates the First Amendment's guarantee of equal access to a president's public statements and the Fifth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable conditions for government benefits. qz.com/intercept-freedom-press #POTUS #TruthSocial #Lawsuit #1stAmendment #5thAmendment #USConstitution #USGov #Paywall #SocialMedia

  3. “Clapping Is a #FirstAmendment #Right :” An Interview With the Person Arrested for #Clapping at a #DataCenter Meeting

    Last Wednesday, Lux Claridge planned to speak out against a proposed 1,000 acre data center in their town of #Emporia , #Kansas. They left in handcuffs after a city commissioner ordered them arrested for clapping.

    “It was annoying,” Claridge told 404 Media. “So what happened was I clapped for the previous speaker. She hadn't even gotten back to her seat before I stopped clapping. My wife was on the way up to the podium. The time for my wife's speech hadn't even been reset yet [...] you see the 51 seconds remaining from the previous speaker. So I don't know what I was disrupting exactly, but I was not clapping the entire time.”
