New 'Thought Policing' Bill May Let #Rubio Strip #Passports from #USCitizens Over Political Speech | Common Dreams
Stephen Prager
Sep 13, 2025"#FreeSpeech advocates are sounding the alarm about a bill in the US House of Representatives that they fear could allow Secretary of State #MarcoRubio to strip US citizens of their passports based purely on political speech.
"The bill, introduced by Rep. #BrianMast (R-Fla.), will come up for a hearing on Wednesday. According to The Intercept:
:Mast’s new bill claims to target a narrow set of people. One section grants the secretary of state the power to revoke or refuse to issue passports for people who have been convicted—or merely charged—of material support for terrorism...
"The other section sidesteps the legal process entirely. Rather, the secretary of state would be able to deny passports to people whom they determine 'has knowingly aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise provided material support to an organization the Secretary has designated as a foreign terrorist organization.'
"Rubio has previously boasted of stripping the visas and green cards from several immigrants based purely on their peaceful expression of #ProPalestine views, describing them as '#Hamas supporters.'
"These include Columbia protest leader #MahmoudKhalil, who was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) after Rubio voided his green card; and #RumeysaOzturk, the Tufts student whose visa Rubio revoked after she co-wrote an op-ed calling for her school to divest from #Israel.
"Mast—a former soldier for the #IsraelDefenseForces who once stated that babies were 'not innocent Palestinian civilians' — has previously called for 'kicking terrorist sympathizers out of our country,' speaking about the Trump administration’s attempts to deport Khalil, who was never convicted or even charged with support for a terrorist group.
"Critics have argued that the bill has little reason to exist other than to allow the Secretary of State to unilaterally strip passports from people without them actually having been convicted of a crime."

Özgür Özel: Trump gave his approval for Erdoğan's March 19th political coup and the approval for Ekrem İmamoğlu's arrest. Trump encourages all dictators in the world.

CW: re: US politics, fascism, fear, hope
Other things I know and must not forget as the US careens head-first into #fasicsm :
3.) #Gender is not a binary. Gender is a galaxy, a multi-dimensional expansiveness. Trans people cannot and should not be restricted or repressed to soothe the fears of #queerphobes and #transphobia. Trans people deserve #BodilyAutonomy, even and especially trans children. To be openly trans is to be alive. To be affirmed in one's gender is to be alive.

So what does this all mean?
It means that #Marx and #Riccardo, and #HenryGeorge were all correct.
There is no workable system of #Capitalism that will not become some form of #Manorialism then #LateStageCapitalism and finally #Fasicsm.
Here I'm defining Capitalism specifically a any system that allows arbitrarily large wealth accumulation.
I do not think there is any possible purely #political nor purely #economic solution. Rather, every solution proposed must inherently be a #PoliticalEconomy that is resistant to the accumulation of power and a political system that is resistant to the accumulation of power.
Do I think #Marxist #Socialism is such a system? No! Absolutely not. I think #HenryGeorge was prescient when he called #Marxism a recipe for #Authoritarianism.
Marx never proposed a political system that was even moderately robust to corruption.
Likewise, I think preventing returns to capital is bad. We _want_ individual people to invest their surplus into making bursts of short term profit. That is the actual value add capitalism brings.
Assuming you had a political system resistant to corruption, then #Taxes are a possible solution. One could, for example, place a small tax on wealth, creating gravitational pressure of the returns to capital. Set to the right level, this should be able to resist massive wealth accumulation.
I'll have to save my thoughts on political systems to later.
