Part of me thinks: if only that that was a threat! If only the terrormongers seeking to hurt Americans & spread fear- if only Fox News and Newsmax- had some kind of barrier to spreading fear and distortion endlessly.

Liberal society has allowed basically unchecked growth of extremist propaganda domestically. The result speak for themselves, one side radicalized in dangerous and ways. Which of course is why the administration is trying to hide these well known facts & reports. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/17/justice-depa...

I value free speech, real free speech a lot. But America is divided into so many people who have entirely different narratives about what the world is, who have information diets feeding them bespoke crafted realities. I don't want to end this, I still want to cling to 'the best remedy is more speech'. But POTUS himself standing up again and again and saying he hates half of America, being forever an inciter: it feels terrible watching private industry and watching a post-partisan government run so amock, act forever against sense or sensibility, to push insane over the top narratives about crime, to forever be engendering fear and hatred. It's so sad seeing Free Speech endlessly abused by the very powerful to podcast America into tearing itself apart, to have so many so eager to believe in their secret realities.
