Meanwhile in Muskville....

#Muskville under the sandbox supervision of COSPLAY fan & sandbox bully Elon, is a designated "free speech" haven -
for #disinformation without regard for #truth or even lawfulness (vs #sedition, inciting violence, and messing with people's heads!)

Sorry, choir, for preaching about the overwhelming power combined with underwhelming moral and human thinking skills.

Elon Musk Is A Sicko

One of the richest guys in the universe supports and promotes White Supremacy.

A "free speech occasionalist".
H/T Alex Wagner, who called BS to Mayor #Muskvirus' claim of being a "free speech absolutist".

#TrumpVirus #cult - X marks the spot once respected. I mean, stains the spot which once had standards and fact-checking.

Trump Will Stage an Emergency to Ban Jack Smith’s Book Report

I expect, on top of everything else this week, Trump’s lawyers are going to claim an emergency to try to ban Jack Smith’s book report, currently due Thursday.

As you’ll recall, after Judge Tanya Chutkan finally got the Trump January 6 case back, she agreed with Jack Smith’s proposed path forward: They would submit a brief explaining how the superseding indictment complies with the Supreme Court’s immunity opinion. Chutkan set a deadline of September 26, Thursday, for that brief.

Trump seems certain that if voters see that brief, he will lose the election.

Fingers crossed for #justice - #truth - #accountability - an end, at last to #TrumpVirus plague / #cult / #disinformation / #sedition

First conviction under Hong Kong's security law for wearing 'seditious' T-shirt

by Reuters

HONG KONG --

A Hong Kong man on Monday pleaded guilty to sedition for wearing a
T-shirt with a protest slogan, becoming the first person convicted
under the city's new national security law passed in March.

Chu Kai-pong, 27, pleaded guilty to one count of "doing with a
seditious intention an act."

Under the new security law, the maximum sentence for the offense has
been expanded from two years to seven years in prison and could even go
up to 10 years if "collusion with foreign forces" was found involved.

Chu was arrested on June 12 at a MTR station wearing a T-shirt with the
slogan "Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times" and a yellow mask
printed with "FDNOL"- the shorthand of another slogan, "five demands,
not one less."

Both slogans were frequently chanted in the huge, sometimes violent,
pro-democracy protests in 2019 and June 12 was a key kick-off day of
the months-long unrests.

Chu told police that he wore the T-shirt to remind people of the
protests, the court heard.

Chief Magistrate Victor So, handpicked by the city leader John Lee to
hear national security cases, adjourned the case to Thursday for
sentencing.

Hong Kong was returned from Britain to China in 1997 under Beijing's
promise of guaranteeing its freedoms, including freedom of speech,
would be protected under a "one country, two systems" formula.

Beijing imposed a national security law in 2020 punishing secession,
subversion, terrorism or collusion with foreign forces with up to life
in prison, after the months-long protests in the financial hub.

In March 2024, Hong Kong passed a second new security law, a home-grown
ordinance also known as "Article 23" according to its parent provision
in the city's mini constitution, the Basic Law.

Critics, including the U.S. government have expressed concerns over the
new security law and said the vaguely defined provisions regarding
"sedition" could be used to curb dissent.

Hong Kong and Chinese officials have said it was necessary to plug
"loopholes" in the national security regime.


Five Demands, Not One Less

Today in Labor History September 12, 1918: Eugene V. Debs, Labor leader and socialist, was sentenced to 10 years, under the Sedition Act, for opposing World War I. While in jail he received one million votes for president. In the late 1800s, he led several railroad strikes and helped found the American Railway Union. In 1905, he cofounded the IWW, along with Big Bill Haywood, Mother Jones, Lucy Parsons, James Connolly, and others. He ran for president as a socialist five times in his life.

Nah, he'll just step it up (as Ginni & he remain unpunished.

Remind me: Just how complicit was Ginni in facilitating and promoting the #Jan6 #sedition? And hubby, Clarence, the Yachtsman?

Something to round out the news day thus far, absent #TrumpVirus Trial...

What a surprise!! (And speaking of Rudy and his PillowGuy....)

Voting machine firm Smartmatic alleges Newsmax has deleted evidence in lawsuit over false vote-rigging claims

Smartmatic is suing Fox News, Newsmax, Rudy Giuliani and others over false claims of vote-rigging and fraud in the 2020 election.

“Smartmatic alleges that Newsmax has destroyed evidence in the voting machine company's lawsuit against the right-wing news channel over false claims that Smartmatic helped “rig" the 2020 election, according to court documents made public this week.

Lawyers for Florida-based Smartmatic allege that Newsmax engaged in a “cover-up” by destroying texts and emails of key executives…”
