Great article. One very good reason to answer no questions from the cops about your activities and people you’ve visited is they very likely are gathering information about OTHER PEOPLE so “shut the fuck up!” It’s not just your ass on the line.

The right is unfortunately very adept at this specific manipulation.
They find a concern with some degree of validity and then lie about the target for that concern.
Valid: money's tight
Lie: blame immigrants
Valid: child safety
Lie: books and drag
Valid: gun violence
Lie: more guns

It's an actual game plan on the right. They use it for book bans as well. They start with something easy: no porn in libraries. That hooks in the low information folks. Then you slowly broaden the scope until you're yanking any YA that violates Christian nationalism.
one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it

When you ban pornography, you have to declare what *is* pornography.
When you declare what's pornographic, anything you don't like can become porn.
It's the slipperiest of slopes.

Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...
ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner:
"'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.
