MEANWHILE, OVER AT VODKAPUNDIT [VIP]: Wargaming the Electoral College: Welcome to the Thunderdome, 2024.
BUT TALK OF “WHITE SUPREMACISTS,” “WHIT RAGE,” AND “CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS” IS STILL OKAY, POSSIBLY EVEN MANDATORY: US Intel Agency Wants To Ban Terms ‘Radical Islamists’ and ‘Jihadist’ Because They’re Hurtful to Muslim Americans: Office of the Director of National Intelligence also instructs employees to avoid ‘blacklisted,’ ‘cakewalk,’ and ‘sanity check.’
Whose side is the “intelligence community” on? Certainly not that of intelligence . . . .
J.D. TUCCILLE: Free Speech Is Under Attack in the U.S., but It’s on the Ropes Elsewhere.
On the plus side were some strengthened protections for press freedom and protest. Of course, the press must operate under all those restrictions on “hate speech,” and protests are subject to curbs when governments find their subjects too sensitive or just inconvenient.
The Free Speech Recession Hits Home records attacks on free speech in the U.S., as elsewhere. But this country, importantly, has a strong free speech culture and real constitutional protections. America is third on Justitia’s index of public support for free speech (after Norway and Denmark), and restrictive laws and government schemes to suppress speech are often voided on First Amendment grounds.

FEMINISTS DON’T CARE UNLESS THEY CAN BLAME A FRATERNITY: Israeli Hostage Says She Was Sexually Assaulted and Tortured in Gaza: Amit Soussana is the first former hostage to publicly say she was sexually abused in captivity. A U.N. report has said it found “clear and convincing information” that some hostages suffered “conflict-related sexual violence.”
MATT TAIBBI: Twitter Files Extra: How the “Censorship Industrial Complex” Case Was Built. “Three separate investigations took over a year to nail down the case that government agencies were improperly censoring by proxy. Forced by courts to stop, they’re desperately trying for a reboot.”
FEVERS ARE DANGEROUS, BUT THEY DO COMBAT INFECTION: Fever.
THE ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE IS NOW BASICALLY PRO-DEFAMATION:
The ADL is claiming that “100%” is racist and white supremacist. Beyond parody. The ADL is 100% a joke. pic.twitter.com/k34vj3uwJ5

And they’re part of a censorship-laundering scheme:
It’s actually much more sinister than just making stuff up. They publish garbage like this then other orgs and 3 letter agencies target Americans based on the ADL’s classifications and reporting

One could plausibly make the case that the best way to understand the real political divide in the US is between those who want our political discourse to be policed, limited and controlled by the Kate Starbirds of the world, and those who don't. https://t.co/bTEcP0JOLE

MISINFORMATION IS A TERM OF ART DEPLOYED BY TOTALITARIAN REGIMES: The misinformation of misinformation.
There is no such thing as “misinformation.” There’s lies and there’s truth. They never say “these are lies” they say “these are misinformation.” What does it mean? Information the regime doesn’t want you to hear. That’s it. Pure and simple.
I STILL THINK WE’LL PULL OUT OF THIS: The United States of America is doomed.
The rest of the world, otoh…. They’re trying to pull back to sanity, I’ll give them that, and get rid of the horrible elites. But whether they manage it is … doubtful.
