Not the Bee understands that if you can force someone to print the poster then you can force someone to bake the cake.

When Not the Bee is suggesting that what’s coming from the Trump administration is more dangerous than what came from the Biden administration you know they’re very concerned.
Not the Bee: I voted for a lot of things that I'm getting. I did not vote for this. This is the most dangerous thing I've heard an official say in a long time, and that includes the previous administration. Source: https://x.com/not_the_bee/status/1968090180302279074?s=46

Some folks in the comments on X are mistaken about what she said.

She didn’t say that all of these things were attacks on the 1st Amendment, she said that all of them were attacks on free speech.

Free speech is an unalienable/inherent/natural right that pre-exists the 1st Amendment.
Xcentric TheOtherPOV: Difference is that the might of the government and the power of the presidency is threatening free speach when they threaten ABC and other agencies. Whereas, one individual acted in an individual capacity to kill kirk; this cannot be characterized not an attack on free speech.

This is the moment before the strike. A "go-fast" boat targeted in international waters. No arrest, no trial, just a crosshair. Is this the new standard for justice? The non-aggression principle has been violated. #Libertarian #DueProcess #GovernmentOverreach #BigGovernment #Accountability
Footage from a military drone's perspective, viewed through a green-tinted night vision targeting system. In the center of the screen is a "go-fast" boat with outboard motors, cutting a white wake across the dark ocean. The overlay is filled with telemetry data with cross hair mark conveying the impersonal and technological nature of the impending strike.

They didn't even try to stop them. This wasn't interdiction; it was an execution without a judge or jury. The government has no right to be the arbiter of life and death on the high seas. #RuleOfLaw #Libertarian #Extrajudicial #BigGovernment #Accountability
The unclassified photo capturing the exact moment a missile strikes the "go-fast" boat. The photo shows the immense and instantaneous destructive force used in the engagement, leaving no chance for surrender or survival.

Members of Congress have a constitutional duty to impeach this war criminal who has made our troops less safe through his reckless disregard for the law.

Will you commit to joining articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, @chrispappasnh.bsky.social?

If not, why not?

There are Libertarians.

There are people who claim Trump is “the most anti-war president in American history.”

The two sets do not intersect.

The Surprise Package Fee

That feeling when you click "buy" on a $100 item from overseas and the government jumps in to "help" you pay more.

Repealing de minimis is just a tax on your online shopping.

#TaxationIsTheft #Libertarian #DeMinimis #FreeTrade #BigGovernment
A humorous and relatable meme depicting the moment of an online purchase. A person's hand is shown on a mouse, clicking a "CONFIRM PURCHASE" button on a brightly lit computer screen for an item listed at $95. Suddenly, a cartoonish and slightly menacing government agent in a suit and sunglasses bursts out from the side of the monitor, gleefully slapping a large, red "IMPORT DUTY ADDED" sticker directly onto the final price. The background is a typical home office, making the government intrusion feel personal and jarring. The overall tone is satirical, highlighting the unexpected and unwelcome nature of this new tax on international e-commerce.

The Red Tape Wall

Your package has been delayed.
Reason: A new wall of taxes and red tape at the border.

Ending the $800 duty-free rule doesn't just cost more, it slows everything down.
#BigGovernment #Libertarian #DeMinimis #SupplyChain #Trump
A dramatic and symbolic meme visualizing a new trade barrier. A standard cardboard shipping box, addressed to "THE AMERICAN CONSUMER," is shown mid-air as if it were flying smoothly to its destination. However, it is abruptly stopped by a solid, glowing red wall of energy made entirely of tangled bureaucratic "RED TAPE." The words "CUSTOMS DUTY" and "NEW TARIFFS" are visible within the tangled tape. The background is dark and minimalist, focusing all attention on the package's halted progress. The image effectively communicates the idea that the repeal of the de minimis exemption has created a new, frustrating, and costly obstacle for international commerce.

Your Tax Dollars At Work (Literally)

Your tax dollars (grants to Intel) bought the government a 10% stake.

You're now an involuntary shareholder!

#TaxpayerMoney #Cronyism #Intel #GovernmentSpending #Libertarian
This meme graphically illustrates the flow of taxpayer money into government-owned corporate shares. On the left, a stylized depiction of an American taxpayer, looking somewhat beleaguered, hands over a stream of dollar bills. These bills flow directly into the outstretched hand of a generic, official-looking government figure. This government figure then immediately turns and funnels the same stream of money into a large, modern corporate building clearly labeled "INTEL," where it transforms into a "10% Ownership Stake" icon. The image uses bright, dynamic lines to show the movement of money, emphasizing the direct path from taxpayers to government-held corporate equity.

American journalist sharing experience from the front lines. Important for everyone to see and hear. The greatest battle for Liberty happening is in Ukraine, all Libertarians should be supporting this fight against unprovoked aggression. #libertarian
I went to the Ukrainian frontlines. I’ll never be the same.

Government: "It's just a small 10% stake in Intel!"

Also Government: Grows exponentially.

How "limited" is limited?

#GovernmentIntervention #SlipperySlope #IntelGate #Libertarian #BigGovernmentCreep
A humorous and critical meme features a cartoonish, slightly sheepish government official (resembling a stylized Uncle Sam) holding a tiny, almost insignificant Intel microchip. He looks directly at the viewer with an apologetic expression, saying, "It's just a small 10% stake... not really big government!" However, looming behind him is a massive, ominous shadow of a much larger, increasingly expanding government entity, with gears and bureaucratic layers visibly growing. The contrast between the official's dismissal and the true scale of government expansion is stark, highlighting the deceptive nature of minor interventions.

Some peculiarly propertarian liberals continue to destroy a useful and continuously used word, which removes it from our language commons.

I have some thoughts on that:
Most of the original Libertarians protested. So they too were soon repudiated in the general terror that was called liberty. But since the name Libertarian had become identified with the struggle of the individual against the tyranny of government, the new tyrants continued to use that good name for their own purposes. This was a complete perversion of its former meaning. Thus was born what should properly be called Bizarro Libertarianism. The leaders of this Bizarro Libertarianism were greatly aided in their program of deceiving the people by using this effective device of changing the meaning of words. The term “tyranny” had been used to describe the powers of the old government. And the term “liberty” had been used to describe the ideas of the original Libertarians. Well and good. But when the Bizarro Libertarians in turn became tyrannical, they continued to call it liberty. In the name of liberty, mob violence was encouraged, habeas corpus decimated, and a tangerine tyrant reinvigorated.

The Free Market's New Shareholder!
Uncle Sam, the "newest" private investor in the free market, holding his Intel stock. Because nothing says 'economic liberty' like government control. #FreeMarketFail #GovernmentOverreach #CronyCapitalism #Intel #Libertarian
A satirical meme depicts Uncle Sam seated smugly at a corporate boardroom table, dressed in a sharp, dark business suit. He holds up a large, official-looking "INTEL STOCK CERTIFICATE" clearly emblazoned with "U.S. GOVERNMENT SHAREHOLDER" at the top. His expression is self-satisfied, almost proprietorial. In the background, several bewildered and concerned business executives in suits look on, their faces expressing unease at the new, imposing figure in their private domain. The setting is a formal, wood-paneled boardroom, highlighting the unexpected government presence in corporate space.

Trump promised small government. Now the US owns 10% of Intel. Small government or big portfolio? You decide. #BigGovHypocrisy #Libertarian #Intel #CHIPSAct #LimitedGovernment
A striking meme contrasts "Small Government" with "Big Government." On the left, a minimalist, almost ethereal representation of a small, free government floats gently. On the right, a gigantic, dark, and menacing government hand, with "US GOVT" faintly visible on its sleeve, aggressively seizes a small, glowing Intel microchip labeled "10% Stake." The background is dark and foreboding where the large hand is, and bright and open on the small government side, emphasizing the stark difference. The overall impression is one of government overreach swallowing free enterprise.

Liberty's latest update: Now with a seat on corporate boards! When the government owns nearly 10% of Intel, is it still a 'private' company, or just a new branch of government? #EndOfLiberty #LibertyLost #LibertarianAlarm #BigGovernmentTyranny #NoGovernmentInBusiness #PrincipledStand #WakeUpAmerica
Lady Liberty sitting at a desk in front of two name tags. One says "Government Representative" and the other says "Intel CEO" Liberty has her hand on a brief case resting on the table behind the CEO nametag. She looks very displeased. #LibertyLost #FreeEnterprise #LibertarianAlarm #BigGovernmentTyranny #Intel #CorporateWelfare #NoGovernmentInBusiness #PrincipledStand #WakeUpAmerica
