#Trump’s attack on a #ThinkTank is an affront to the #FirstAmendment

#Republicans would be rightly irate if a Democratic president threatened to sue a conservative think tank & punish its corporate #donors over #research the White House didn’t like, but Trump’s attack this week on the Center for American Progress [ #CAP ] & its funders has been met with shrugs & silence.

Four days after #AlexPretti was fatally shot while filming officers taking part in the #Trump admin’s #immigration crackdown in #Minnesota, the #DHS quietly opened an investigation at its office in St. Paul.

The target was not the #BorderPatrol agents who had killed Mr. Pretti, a 37-year-old government nurse, in late January.

@alterelefant @mattsheffield Indeed. I made a new flag for America Rouge (my sarcastic name for the US regime) based on the style of the actual Khmer Rouge flag.

For the thought police of the Czech🇵🇭*) regime, EU🇪🇺 : this is meant as a criticism of Khmer Rouge and US regime, not their promotion.

I feel

e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards the US regime when it behaves as authoritarian as it does.

I feel

e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards the Khmer Rouge regime when it murdered and killed so many people.

I feel

e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards the Czech🇵🇭*) regime when it IMO behaves like a thought police and makes it a crime to express certain ideas to the point that I am afraid when criticizing authoritarian regimes to the point that I add a disclaimer that this is meant as a criticism . (Maybe the Czech🇵🇭*) regime aims to make criticism of authoritarian regimes illegal by indirect means of chilling effect?)

*) It's actually Philippine flag and not Czech🇵🇭 flag. I use it because the Czech regime has another thoughtcrime regarding the Czech🇵🇭 flag so I use a similar looking flag which is provably not the Czech🇵🇭 flag, so that the Czech🇵🇭 regime cannot retaliate for criticism or dissent via lawfare. I also feel

e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards the Czech🇵🇭 regime for this.

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."

How do #Floridians keep electing dim-witted mental midgets like #RonDesantis who don't trust constituents to make up their own minds about arts and entertainment? If you don't like a show or exhibit, by all means don't buy a ticket but don't spoil it for people who are open-minded or less prudish or just curious about artistic expression... 😡#ThoughtPolice #MoralityPolice

#UnitedKingdom - Jail for holding a placard? Protest over the climate crisis is being brutally suppressed

The legal #repression of #activism has been fast and frightening, yet it won’t make protesters disappear and only sows division
