twitter post by brendan carr from august 2022: "This is very concerning. The government does not evade the First Amendment’s restraints on censoring political speech by jawboning a company into suppressing it—rather, that conduct runs headlong into those constitutional restrictions, as Supreme Court law makes clear."

folks surfaced a lot of past brendan carr tweets that seem to contradict his current agenda but i feel like this one got unfairly slept on a bit

Texas A&M President to Step Down After Controversy Over ‘Gender Ideology’

So, a university president fired a professor because they taught a course that discussed there being more than two genders, and now the university president is being fired for not having fired the professor quickly enough, is where we're at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

Trump’s pardons have cost crime victims $1.5 billion in restitution that they now will never see, mostly victims of fraud committed by his cronies. www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

Is he trying to fulfilling the prophecy of Idiocracy? This is so much less important than the humanitarian horrors that his administration is inflicting on so many, but it is still so dumb it makes me sad.

I got 9/10, but I had to look SO close up and watch back a few times each. No chance someone just scrolling through social media would catch these.

Very very scary, and a little sad to not be able to trust what we see with our own eyes any more.

Halliburton tearing his Achilles in the same postseason as Tatum (while I’m cheering for both) is just a terrible terrible feeling. Sucks so bad.

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

While the State Department CAN revoke *visas* with very little legal process involved, stripping someone of a green card is done by DHS (not the State Department) and requires filing formal charges alleging a violation of immigration law and a removal hearing in front of an immigration judge.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze.
I worked at an organization that
-helped veterans who have lost a limb
-Assisted elderly and disabled people
-Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

C.I.A. Sends White House an Unclassified Email With Names of Some Employees (Gift Article) The list of partial names was provided in an effort to comply with an executive order to trim the federal work force.

“It included a large crop of young analysts and operatives who were hired specifically to focus on China, and whose identities are usually closely guarded because Chinese hackers are constantly seeking them to identify them.”

This is why you don’t surrender in advance.

The flagrantly illegal can be stopped.

It sucks that it’s falling to ordinary workers, not, say, the police, or Chuck Schumer with an NBC camera crew manning the line.

You know, the ppl whose job this actually is.

But they can be stopped.

A former top Treasury Dept. Official says the payment records are so sensitive they are always off limits for political officials to protect Americans’ privacy. The breech is enormous.

Musk's so proud of trying to destroy the #1 source of America's good will & soft power in the world.
He's FAR too ignorant to know the damage he's done.
He's even better for Russia & China than Trump.

This is the kind of action we need to make the constitutional crisis visible. Saying no instead of complying makes headlines because it creates conflict—and conflict drives coverage. Even if Musk gets into the classified systems, this pushes his crime spree onto the front pages.

Oh.
My.
F***ING.
GOD.

The WSJ is blaming Krasner for the fact that Philly’s homicide rates are down “only” ~40%.

Gun robbery down ~35%, car theft down ~30%. Basically EVERYTHING down.

So now? It’s just not down ENOUGH.

“Tough on crime” can NEVER be wrong. Never. And reform NEVER right.

Thanks to Elon Musk and Donald Trump, Republicans cut $190 million for pediatric cancer research from the funding bill.

Congrats to DOGE on their first victory.

It’s coordinated. Moms For Liberty is going after books telling immigrant children they belong

five years ago today the first Covid-19 patient was hospitalized in Wuhan

What a weird and slightly anticlimactic ending to that UK-Gonzaga game. Kentucky player misses both FTs when only up 1 point, but the Zags can’t even get a shot up after getting the rebound cleanly.

This is an oligarchy.

The founders never intended people to have this much power… EVER

Stop the oligarchy

Unbeaten teams remaining: 22 (Sorry, Wichita St.. You lost to Florida 88-51.)

I cracked the code. Told my boomer dad that having motion smoothing on his TV 'makes it work twice as hard' and will 'wear it out faster' and now hes obsessed with making sure its off.

About 50% of @on3keith.bsky.social’s links on Bluesky are like this. It looks like the ones with an asterisk are broken like this. Hopefully whatever app they’re using to post can fix this.

DJ Lagway is so damn good!

BOOOO NOOOO BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK!!! This image is fake. Let’s not let fake science accounts thrive on Bluesky!!!

There's something I need people to understand.

The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.

The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.
