I have no idea how an open hotspot can censor anything.
Trump's FCC yesterday voted to kill a program that provided free Wi-Fi to rural school kids at no cost to taxpayers, falsely claiming the program was "illegal" and was being used to "censor Conservative ideology."
FCC moves to end discounts for Wi-Fi hotspot lending and school bus connectivity

Few things are important enough to justify the security risk that Pete Hegseth’s planned military gathering poses, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily:
Why Does Hegseth Want More Than 800 Admirals and Generals in the Same Room?
Few things are important enough to justify the security risk of putting all of these people in the same place.

It appears they are protecting Americans from the devious Antifa film majors at Columbia College Chicago.
Probably 40+ border patrol some holding automatic weapons on South Michigan Avenue just now 12:20 pm. Fully masked. #NoIceInChicago. @icirr.bsky.social @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social

Reminder that Trump campaigned on sending troops into American cities to take out "the enemy from within." Something to consider next time a pundit tells you the election was really about inflation.
Trump to Bartiromo on what worries him about election day: "I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within ... sick people, radical left lunatics. And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military."

There’s a reason I focused on Portland when I reported a big story on political violence two years ago. (1/4)

Joining together in solidarity, peacefully protesting w/staunch determination, & celebrating our community w/joyful defiance does more harm to this authoritarian regime than violence ever will.

Never shying away from supporting each other diminishes their perceived power.

We will not acquiesce.

I don’t want to get all tinfoil hat, but this administration is absolutely not above using agent provocateurs as the excuse to start shooting protesters. Stay safe out there, Portland.
If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it.

This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

He's fucking insane, like actually off his friggin rocker.

He's doing this to set up for martial law so there will be no more elections. Everyone needs to be paying attention to what he's doing.

Portland, like Chicago, has been a longtime target of the right and there is nothing happening there to remotely justify this deployment.

finally someone in his position is saying it.
Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

“Let's dedicate ourselves to what the ancient Greeks wrote so many years ago, to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that.”
RFK’s quote from Aeschylus during his MLK Jr eulogy/speech is so brilliant. I cry thinking about it.
