Today’s decision in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton is a direct blow to the free speech rights of adults. This ruling allows states to enact onerous age-verification rules that will block adults from accessing lawful speech, curtail their ability to be anonymous, and jeopardize their data security and privacy.
I feel like nobody read Project 2025. Everyone seems all Pikachu face lately, when they’ve not only told us all this, but blatantly captured all the levers of power.
What did you expect they’d do?
Spoiler: VPNs will be outlawed soon.

Is this federated? I use Voyager on iOS exclusively, and that link doesn’t resolve to a community for me. I searched for those terms on Lemmy and didn’t find anything.
If this doesn’t exist on Lemmy, I might start a community and dedicate my life to it.
It should just be a hyperlink to a website that was built by a couple of redditors. So not technically federated at this point.
Okay, thanks. It doesn’t want to load properly in whatever built-in mobile browser Voyager is implementing.
I might make a community…
It works on Voyager on iOS. Or at least for me it does.
I have an older phone and I’m not up to date. It’s probably a ‘me’ problem. Thanks, though!
Also spoiler: This stuff regarding pornography is built so that they will soon define existing as a trans person as being pornographic, and if you’re seen existing as a trans person in front of children, you’ve committed a pedophilic crime against children, and oh yeah, they want to bring back capital punishment for those kind of crimes.
This is just an excuse to literally start murdering the LGBTQ+ community at large.
I don’t think they’re thinking it through like this. Yeah, that will likely happen, but I doubt this is an end goal they have. They don’t think things through like that. They’re reactionary, and trans people make them feel things they don’t want to feel, because Jesus watches them touch themselves. It’s really that simple.
The genocide is on the horizon, but most of them don’t know that – and won’t know it for decades afterwards. That’s why this is so dangerous.
It’s literally on page 5 of Project 2025, which equates being transgender with abusing children. Then on page 554 they posit that they must increase the use of the death penalty and they single out “crimes against children” to be one of the things that they should put people to death for. This is literally the plan.

I too am quite surprised so few people seem to have been reading that book. I’m not even American but I’ve read it.
So much of what has been happening recently is explained in it.
Sorry, I guess I wasn’t clear.
The Heritage Society has thought this through – I meant rank and file republicans haven’t. Thus my original comment about people going Pikachu face when this shit happens when it was all spelt out in Project 2025.
It’s infuriating that most people had no idea what they were voting for, but that’s true. It’s also true that many would still deny it whilst ruffling the ashes of their neighbours from their hair. And they won’t acknowledge it in the future, either.
Thank you kindly for the clarification. This, I largely agree with. However I do think a large contingency of Trump voters literally want to return to an era where they can abuse the LGBTQ+ community and other minorities with impunity.
That’s true, but again, not consciously. They think of themselves as morally pure, and they’re only following their god’s word. It’s not their fault that others are wicked, and they’ve tried to save us from hell.
That’s why we can’t reach them. They think they’re the righteous ones, and will think that long past when they’re literally lighting the fires upon which they burn us.
I still think that’s giving them a little too much credit and that religion is just a convenient excuse to hate people who are different.
That’s certainly what it was at first, but we’re talking about people who have been indoctrinated at birth for generations.
e: I strongly encourage you to watch some of their educational content. I won’t even try to guide you towards anything specific. Just any of it.
It’s defeating. I remember telling folks left and right. Anyone that would listen. I really don’t even feel like talking to folks about it anymore now. It’s been a very numb year…
