Ezra writes that the content creators themselves will have to register will the NP writes it's only the platforms that will need to register, who's right?

Usually, you need to give them enough rope to hang themselves. Now they are bringing their own rope.

Not charged with a hate crime. Hello? Is there anyone home?

[...]
Freedom is slavery. I gave a shiur on the definition of cherus around Pesach time. The gist of it was that the less choice you have, the more free you feel. [...]

I think that might be better expressed as "Slavery is freedom" (or "Only a
slave to the truth is free," as Rabbi Akiva Tatz quotes from the Chazon Ish.)

However, if we suggest that experienced freedom is in inverse proportion to one's freedom of choice,
it follows that actual slaves and prisoners should feel the most free, which I'm confident they don't.

It is certainly true that actual slaves and prisoners don't usually feel free. Narrowing of options only creates a feeling of freedom with a certain (not small) amount of Emunah, making this yesod somewhat theoretical.

The attacks on Ilhan Omar over her remarks about advocating for Somalia sound very similar to the "dual-loyalty attacks on Jewish politicians who speak in support of Israel.

Disclaimer: I did not see the whole text of her speech, only quotes in articles on (right-wing) websites.

I didn’t see anything but your post, but you’re comparing dual loyalty to 2 close allies to loyalty of a 3rd world country by an America- hating terrorist.

She is being attacked for saying that she will be an advocate in Congress for the interests of Somalia.

Some, including Ron DeSantis, are saying that she should be kicked out of Congress, have her citizenship revoked and be deported.

My problem is with the accusations that advocating for the interests of a different country is inherently "disloyal" to the US, which is what the antisemites say about anyone who expresses support for Israel. I don't see anyone claiming that she said she would advocate for Somalia over the US (or in a situation where their interests conflict).

In the tweet you quoted she said she will represent Somalian interests first and the US is not mentioned. I take it that's what got people triggered.

just watched the video. Seems to be taken out of context.

Disclaimer: pretty graphic description of how an abortion is done

I was shocked when I saw this today. Not by Senator Kennedy's depiction, but by the fact that the Dems are calling his words "shameless" and "inflammatory" for talking about how an abortion is done, while they are defending the actual ACT OF DOING the abortion! This is such a sad view on how the liberals created a narrative where it's great to kill babies, but its shameful to talk about it.

The clip is just his questioning. It's worth clicking on the C-Span link and seeing how the next senator apologizes for him (1:09:30), and how at the end a witness calls it fearmongering (1:46:20).

True, although there are plenty of MAGA wackos out there by now. Don't know if she is defining them as Republicans.
