1. Elon’s offer
Elon Musk says X (The Site Formerly Known As Twitter) will pay the legal bills of anyone who was unfairly treated by an employer for posting or liking something on the platform.
Elon has been encouraging people to engage on the platform, rather than just scrolling and reading, and this seems like one more way he wants to encourage free speech. It’s not clear how you go about asking for the money, but a few people who commented on his post got responses from him asking for more info.
2. Speaking of suing …
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has filed a lawsuit against Google and YouTube, saying they censored him. He claims the companies collaborated with government officials, including the Biden White House, to suppress his theories and anti-vax views. The lawsuit argues that YouTube violated his First Amendment rights by removing videos of his speeches and interviews under their "medical misinformation" policies.
3. Porsche erases Jesus
Porsche literally erased Jesus from a a statue in Lisbon from their commercial that was filmed there.
The company quickly took the commercial off of YouTube, so they must be getting lots of pushback. Or perhaps someone was struck by lightning.
4. Our “gatekeepers of knowledge”
I’ve written a few times in the past about how librarians are among the more hard-core leftists in the country. It usually arises when they not-so-subtly promote their values to children who are still grappling with their ABCs.
As if to prove my point, the new president of the American Library Association, now says it’s “regrettable” that her politics are being criticized.
And what riled people up? Here’s Drabinski’s now-deleted Tweet she wrote after being elected:
I just cannot believe that a Marxist lesbian who believes that collective power is possible to build and can be wielded for a better world is the president-elect of @ALALibrary.
I am so excited for what we will do together. Solidarity!
And my mom is SO PROUD. I love you mom.
The next time we hear something from the librarian association about how awful conservatives are, how keeping porn out of kids’ hands is “book burning” or the whatnot … we now have some context.

Hi Ken, Kennedy did not say "There's no vaccine that is safe and effective". I heard him say, "I asked Fauci for the studies that prove that vaccines are safe and effective and he (Fauci) said that he didn't have those with him at this meeting, but that he would get them to Kennedy. He never did." Read his book and then you can decide for yourself.
