  1. RE: lawoffice.social/@barry/117225

    They don't silence the speaker. They designate the host a terrorist and let the banks do the killing. #AutisticiInventati — 16k mailboxes, 10k blogs — all gone as of today to shield users from secondary sanctions. No court. No jury. Just an EO. The kill-chain is complete: criminalize the wires, freeze the accounts, call it national security. I know what silence costs. #SusanKlopferTruth

    The deep state weaponizes legal doctrine against infrastructure of dissent. Stay human. #FreeSpeech #AI #1A

  2. Australia in a world gone wrong

    The Australian government only cares about doing the bidding of the elites. They do not talk with people, listen to people nor act for people. They do deals and make decisions, while excluding all involvement of people. They say one thing and do something very different.

  3. A judge blocked a California law restricting the use of the recycling symbol, ruling it likely violates free speech rights. #freespeech

  4. The Robin Byrd documentary on #hbo is really good. I was a little young when her show was on the air but I remember finding it a couple of times. It was as "New York" as it got.

    It's also very scary to realize we're seeing censorship of the media still as a major issue some thirty years later.

  5. International relations

    US allies are now referred to as the "remaining allies", soon to be referred to as Australia!

  6. Australian democracy

    Where the government never says what it is going to do next, because they have not been told.

  7. Australia - Public good

    We have many laws making people accountable for their actions. We also need a mechanism to ensure governments are accountable for their actions. An assurance that government is acting in the interest of people, and not putting other agendas above the welfare of the general public.

  8. A federal judge refused Friday to block the #Pentagon from firing 3 #StarsAndStripes staff members who claim they were illegally disciplined for speaking out about the #military news outlet’s need to maintain its editorial independence.

    Judge Trevor McFadden, who was nominated to the bench by #Trump ruled that the #journalists are unlikely to successfully prove that the Pentagon violated their #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech rights.

  9. A quotation from Abraham Fortas

    Any departure from absolute regimentation may cause trouble. Any variation from the majority’s opinion may inspire fear. Any word spoken, in class, in the lunchroom, or on the campus, that deviates from the view of another person may start an argument or cause a disturbance. But our Constitution says we must take this risk, and our history says that it is this sort of hazardous freedom — this kind of openness — that is the basis of our national strength and of the independence and vigor of Americans who grow up and live in this relatively permissive, often disputatious, society.

    Abraham Fortas (1910–1982) American academic, jurist, lawyer; US Supreme Court Justice (1965–69)
    Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503, 508 (1969) [majority opinion]

  10. Australian Housing

    If the government can build housing for US Military people, it can build housing for Australian people. Its as simple as that.

    Corruption runs deep.

  11. Cost of corruption

    Corruption incurs massive costs that extend far beyond financial losses. These hidden costs severely damage the economic stability of a nation, undermine political trust in institutions, and erode social cohesion within communities.

  13. Australia

    Was it the Australian PM who said "...don't mention the war..." I cannot remember the current affairs show I heard this on!

  14. David French: "In American Association of University Professors v. Rubio, Judge William Young found that the Trump Administration is 'engaged in a mode of enforcement leading to detaining, deporting, and revoking noncitizens’ visas solely on the basis of political speech, and with the intent of chilling such speech and that of others similarly situated. Such conduct is unconstitutional." Trump targeted people whose statements were "clearly protected by the First Amendment."
