You’re acknowledgeing and simultaneously ignoring the main point, in that the Federal Communications Commission threatened ABC’s license over this. This is quite literally a 1st amendment/gov’t censorship issue - not a platform simply enforcing their often shitty ToS.

And the main idea about pressuring these large platforms in the past about moderating and/or removing certain speech, was that the types of speech that folks were advocating to have removed was speech that quite often led to real-world violence when it was able to propagate en masse.

You can also see the same ideas here on Lemmy. Several of the servers that are most prolific in their spread of hate speech have been de-federated from most of the rest of the servers.

There are plenty of authors, journalists and anti-fascist researchers over these last ten years who’ve had the unfortunate job of wading neck-deep into the online platforms that DO allow that kind of speech so that they can document and track how those fascist ideals spread, and who is spreading them. THEY are typically the ones screaming the loudest about the need for some form of community based moderation and/or censorship of certain ideas.

Sinclair’s ABC stations will air a special in remembrance of Charlie Kirk this Friday, during Jimmy Kimmel Live’s timeslot. The special will also air across all Sinclair stations this weekend.

What the actual fuck…

“This is extremely dangerous to our democracy”

Thank you for pointing this out. It seems that you are correct. I’ve edited my original comment

Can’t remember if it was part of that thread, or a comment on it… but there was a suggestion that they likely don’t care about the case itself, rather they’re more concerned about crafting and maintaining the narrative. Based on how this week has played out, I can’t say that I’d disagree

Here, try this out

I read a great thread on Bluesky earlier detailing how many times Kash Patel may have completely botched this case by all the stupid things he’s said on FOX today. Definitely worth a read!

*Edit to add Skyview thread unroll link

*Edit #2: it was pointed out in the comment below that many folks in the thread I linked are calling into question the OOP’s claims and professional background. After a brief view myself, there is at least one person within those comments whom I do believe when they say its “full of errors”
I’m leaving my original comment up for now for posterity sake, but I am more than willing to remove it if that would be more appropriate.

No doubt. I also just now realized what was actually happening here in this /c and left my contribution to it lol

Edited.

TLDW: lawyers from the NLG advising everyone to “Shut the Fuck Up”

Give me a few minutes and I’ll edit this with a transcription.

Oh Hello. We were just talking about you kids.
I’m Denise Heberle. And I’m Bill Goodman. Together we’ve been fighting fascism for over 50 years.
And so much has changed over those 50 years, such as the ingredients to a successful fire b*mb. And the glass that bank windows are made of.
But there’s one thing that hasn’t changed over 50 years, something that is so important to tell you kids who are new to this movement…
SHUT THE FUCK UP
You’re sitting in the police transport van after a protest?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
In a holding cell with your comrades?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Cop knocks on your door?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Texting on an unsecured device?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Pulled over by the cops after a protest?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Cop just asking about your day?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Feds call your mom?
Tell your mother to…
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Now, repeat after me…
When the cops come calling, what do you do?
SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Fuck yea! I got their track “Class Struggle” on a playlist and I’ve been meaning to check out more of their tunes.

You should both check out and cross post this to slrpnk.net/c/music I feel like you’d maybe enjoy the tunes there

Wishing y’all all the best

This Bluesky account posts ICE flight data daily

Reminds me of this case in New York…

A lot of cities and areas have been setting up mutual aid groups and hotlines for people to call. I would do a search online for those that may be in your area.

I don’t know much about the specifics, but I know there are searchable databases that ICE keeps with detainee’s info and location of detention. You will need their full name, date of birth, and country of origin at the very least but likely additional info as well. Warning tho, there’s also been many reports of ICE not properly adding every detainee into these searchable systems, so keep that in mind…

Punching back is the absolute bare minimum requirement for a supposed opposition party (looking at you Schumer and Jeffries).

But Newsom has been repeatedly demonstrating that he is willing to throw our trans friends and unhoused neighbors under the bus for political points. Ask yourself, if he’s willing to betray one group, what’s stopping him from betraying any other group should he decide that it’s politically expedient?

This has nothing to do with “purity tests”

Seriously tho, this is floating around the socials right now…

I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I can taste the champagne already…

6. Always be willing to lend a hand
7. Give (and receive) more hugs
8. Be mean to cops
9. Talk more with your neighbors
10. Be extra mean to cops

Encampment sweeps kill.

https://www.propublica.org/article/portland-homeless-deaths-multnomah-county

But although the city spent roughly $200,000 per homeless resident throughout that time, deaths of homeless people recorded in the county quadrupled, climbing from 113 in 2019 to more than 450 in 2023, according to the most recent data from the Multnomah County Health Department. The rise in deaths far outpaces the growth in the homeless population, which was recorded at 6,300 by a 2023 county census, a number most agree is an undercount…

These deaths came during the same period that Portland began a two-pronged response to public pressure over homelessness. City leaders began moving homeless people out of public view by removing tents at a rate far surpassing those of its West Coast peers. Since 2021, it carried out 19,000 sweeps, and it dismantled over 20 encampments per day in 2024, according to city records.

At the same time, the city reduced money for stable permanent housing while dramatically increasing its investment in temporary shelters…
