250 Hollywood Celebrities Sign Letter Demanding Big Tech Censor Anyone Who Opposes Trans Surgeries On Kids
Some 250 woke Hollywood celebrities from movies, TV and music have signed their names to an open letter urging big tech companies to crack down on anyone who doesn’t fall into line with the trans agenda, including advocating life changing gender surgeries on children.
The letter was sent to the CEOs of Meta, YouTube, TikTok and Twitter by GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), and was signed by hundreds of famous names including Amy Schumer, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Jamie Lee Curtis, Judd Apatow, Patrick Stewart and many more.
It states that “There has been a massive systemic failure to prohibit hate, harassment, and malicious anti-LGBTQ disinformation on your platforms and it must be addressed,” pointing to “dangerous posts (both content and ads)… targeting transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people.”

People that disagree with you do not necessarily hate you. Claiming loudly that others hate you sounds a lot like you hate them. If you want real freedom, you must allow it to others, including freedom of speech and thought. If you are an adult and want to cut your dick off, go right ahead. But you do not get to cut other people’s tongues off. ABN

Destroying small businesses destroys independent incomes, thus destroying a major class of citizens who support personal freedom and small government. A major goal of the covid and vax bio-attack on USA was, similarly, to destroy small businesses and independent thinkers through mandates and firings in preparation for total government control. ABN
Tibetan leader calls for ‘true autonomy’ within China
Tibetans seek ‘Middle Way Approach’ formulated by spiritual leader Dalai Lama for the end of the Sino-Tibetan conflict
People in Tibet would accept Chinese rule if Beijing grants true autonomy to the region, said the leader of Tibet’s government-in-exile.
“If those kinds of autonomies are granted to the Tibetans, they will be happy to live under the framework of the People’s Republic of China’s constitution,” said Sikyong Penpa Tsering, the head of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), during an address at National Press Club of Australia in Canberra, Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported on June 21.
He referred to the status of Scotland and South Tyrol within the context of British and Italian rule.
“It is not a matter of who rules; it is the quality of the rule,” he said while speaking on “resolving Sino-Tibet conflict and securing peace in the region.”
Tsering reiterated the CTA’s commitment to resolving the Sino-Tibet conflict through the “Middle Way Approach” formulated by Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama. The strategy promotes true autonomy for Tibetans under Chinese rule, as written in China’s constitution.
But he highlighted the historically independent status of Tibet and said that unless that status is recognized, China would have no reason to negotiate with the CTA.
Penpa Tsering’s address also touched on the Chinese government’s attempts to control the reincarnation process of the Dalai Lama, surveil Buddhist monasteries and restrict the movement of Tibetans.

Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch issues excoriating review of COVID lockdown policies including business closures and vaccine mandates and calls them ‘among the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the history of the nation’
link
- Justice Neil Gorsuch labeled the avalanche of lockdown measures imposed during the pandemic as among ‘the greatest intrusions on civil liberties’
- He said leaders at state and federal level issued emergency decrees ‘on a breathtaking scale’
- Congress and state legislatures ‘too often fell silent’ as strict rules were laid down, he added
Yes, and SCOTUS ‘fell silent’ on election fraud, which has allowed ‘the greatest intrusions on civil liberties’ to continue while also being arguable the most egregious intrusion of all. ABN

Carlson is moving to Twitter
Twitter is better under Musk but its algorithms are running on “freedom of speech but not reach,” which means lots of info is invisible. “Freedom of speech but not reach” is a mantra of the ADL. Thus, information while available on Twitter is deliberately siloed and concealed. I hope Carlson understands this and says something about it. There are many layers to mind-control and Twitter still is one of them. ABN
Gov Kristi Noem Hits Anti-Gun Banks with Punishing Executive Order: ‘I Won’t Stand for It, Not in South Dakota’
Noem’s order bars state agencies from contracting with large banks that are found to have engaged in discrimination against “firearm-related entities.” Those entities include firearm trade associations, shooting ranges and businesses that manufacture or sell firearms, ammunition or firearm accessories.
Noem said that discrimination has taken the form of terminating relationships or refusing to work with certain businesses.
“This Executive Order will protect the God-given right to keep and bear arms from being infringed upon by financial institutions,” Noem said in a statement. “South Dakota is setting the standard for the most 2nd Amendment friendly state in the nation.

Dear President Donald Trump, go ahead and hold the rallies…. continue putting out the platform….
Dear President Donald Trump, go ahead and hold the rallies…. continue putting out the platform…. continue using your podium to promote vision, excitement and direction in the largest scale possible to save the nation. Continue providing fuel for the cultural battle and primary battle being waged in the social media sphere by warriors for the MAGA movement….
However, in the totality of the 2024 presidential contest, this effort should be – at most – 20% of the industrial political campaign.
80% of the entirety of the money spent, the effort exhausted, the assembly constructed, the people and supporters assembled, should be focused – to the exclusion of all other things – on the process of maximizing envelope collection.
Make that paradigm shift, and 2024 is easily within reach. Ignore it, and you might as well use a carrier pigeon to send your next email.
The RNC is no help. The RNC is focused on EVERYTHING that doesn’t matter.
You cannot win an election if you rely on the RNC to make this adjustment. You are going to have to organize this assembly on your own while enlisting the resources of the MAGA army.
The DNC already has the network of thousands of community activist organizations and business units at work in preparation for the 2024 envelope gathering operation. They do not care about voters; the wants and needs of the people on the front of the envelope are an arcane annoyance, irrelevant to the DNC objective.

I agree with this message. It is obvious the elections are stolen. Fight fire with fire. Play their game better than them. There is no other way but continued decline. Fight to win, then we can fix the system. ABN
NPR quits Twitter after spat with Elon Musk who branded the public broadcasting network as ‘government affiliated’ and ‘falsely implying’ that it is ‘not editorially independent’
National Public Radio (NPR) will no longer be active on Twitter after the social platform ‘undermined’ the news source’s ‘credibility’ when it branded it a ‘government-funded’ outlet.
NPR’s 52 Twitter accounts have gone silent after the social platform added the black label tag of ‘state-affiliated media’ to the brand’s official account – a tag that is often only seen associated with propaganda outlets in Russia and China.
It has since been changed to ‘government-funded media.’ The BBC and PBS have also been given the same tag.
Earlier this month, Musk branded The New York Times ‘propaganda’ and removed its golden checkmark.

More lies from NPR as it huffs off the platform. Musk’s takedown of BBC is even funnier. It’s fair to wonder about Musk but he has done a lot of good since buying Twitter, more good for the news than any other individual. It’s likely the official covid wind down is happening sooner and going deeper because so much more truth is now allowed on Twitter. In internet real-time you can watch independent scientists and people like Edward Dowd destroy the official government/MSM covid story. ABN
Twitter’s Extremely Dangerous Attack on Substack — Jeffrey Tucker
…One theory is that Elon came after Substack for rolling out a Twitter rival called Notes. That seems pretty far-fetched to me. And yet Mashable goes further to say that Twitter is actively going to war against Substack.
Elon has so far (as of this writing) not spoken about the issue. This alone is rather spooky. It is possible that he is just working out a personal grievance but this affects everything and everybody.
If this turns out to be deliberate and Elon sticks with it, the effect on chilling research, writing, and free speech will be even worse than when Elon took over Twitter. It will also seriously hurt Substack too. There are huge businesses that are thriving there. It is one of the few bright spots on the Internet today. A loss of reach here will mean the further cartelization of opinion and ideas.
Over just a few months, the magic combination of Twitter and Substack have created a small zone of freedom in a media/tech system that seems otherwise 90 percent captured by industrial and government interests. With this combination, we’ve seen the rise of a powerful dissident press that offered the world some real hope that we can turn back the fascist tide.
The timing itself is alarming because the very woke ADL just published a big attack on Substack with the usual litany of complaints about how the platform is enabling disinformation.

Terrified swimming champion Riley Gaines is ambushed by screaming trans activists and ‘hit twice by guy in a dress’ after Saving Women’s Sports speech at San Francisco State University
College swimming champion Riley Gaines has filmed herself being ambushed by screaming trans activists and was allegedly hit ‘multiple times by a guy in a dress’ following a speech about saving women’s sports.
A terrified Gaines, 23, was forced to barricade herself inside a room at the San Francisco State University campus last night after a group of activists ambushed her.
Gaines’ husband, Louis Barker, said he had brief conversations with his wife while she was locked in the room for nearly three hours.
‘She told me she was hit multiple times by a guy in a dress. I was shaking. It made me that mad. It makes me sick to feel so helpless about it,’ Barker said. ‘She was under police protection and was still hit by a man wearing a dress.’
‘The prisoners are running the asylum at SFSU…I was ambushed and physically hit twice by a man,’ Gaines wrote in the tweet.

Second and third sons are more likely to be gay because their mothers cannot handle so much testosterone and become mildly allergic to it while pregnant, thus affecting the offspring. I wonder if female-to-male trans are also exhibiting some sort of testosterone over-sensitivity causing them to become violent. Maybe a basic female body simply does not handle male hormone injections well. A lot of men have trouble with them as well. Gaines is not saying trans people do not have human rights or the right to be trans. She is saying she does not want to compete against them under the aegis of women’s sports. Hard to claim that’s a right. Best solution is have a trans competition category or an open one allowing anyone to compete. Many sports have weight classes which recognize how basic physical differences affect outcomes. ABN
SCOTUS nixes New York gun restrictions
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a New York law that required state residents to have “proper cause” to carry a handgun, a decision that could make it far easier for millions of Americans to arm themselves in public as the nation is reeling from a string of mass shootings.
Associate Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the opinion for a 6-3 majority, holding that the New York law violated the Constitution and signaling that other gun regulations disconnected from what he called the nation’s “historical tradition of firearm regulation” would face similar scrutiny in federal court.
“We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need,” Thomas wrote of the New York law. “It is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self-defense.”
