freedom of speech but not freedom of reach

"...X/twitter CEO linda yaccarino speaks of “censorship is not the answer” and “not on our watch” but in light of her publicly espoused position of “freedom of speech but not freedom of reach” which is used to such intense effect on X these days and so severely limits platforms, pundits, and positions that there are whole lines of discussion that basically cannot be had and numerous folks i follow who NEVER show up in my feed unless i go looking for them, linda does not seem to believe her own words.

" and her actions send a chill through twitter speech as people fear the hidden lines that lead you to reside upon the suppressed list, a place far more subtle and insidious than exile. the exile becomes a martyr, the suppressed just sounds like a whiner when people say “aww, poor baby. did you ever think that it’s just that no one cares about what you have to say?”

" and it’s a powerful effect. i have more followers on twitter than here and the nature of the system leads to 100’s of re-tweets on popular posts. but they still get fewer views than a typical substack.

" it’s obvious the fix is in for certain participants.

" (and don’t i sound whiney complaining about it? that’s the game now.)

"...There is overwhelming evidence that the machinery of the Cuban Government has been progressively organized around… a fundamental hatred of the United States,” the report stated. “Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history —from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses— can be linked, in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence.”

The report doesn’t just hand-wave. It names names. It details how the Venceremos Brigade and other “revolutionary tourism” programs have funneled thousands of American activists to Havana for ideological (and sometimes literal) weapons training.

The Venceremos Brigade has brought 10,000 American activists to Cuba since 1969. This is because nothing says “I am fighting for the oppressed working class” quite ...

This guy says it all I fear….

Now there is a plan! Of course dumb Canadians will not have the courage to vote with their brains, instead of their propagandized feelings of fear.

Canada’s economy is stalling badly.

We just endured the worst decade for real GDP growth per person since the Great Depression.

Over the past ten years, real GDP per capita limped along at an average of just 0.6% annually.

And Bloomberg’s consensus forecast for 2026? A paltry 0.7%.

Why does GDP matter?

Because family disposable income follows GDP like a shadow. Anemic economic growth resulting from lower investment means stagnant wages. Period.

The Liberals and fake Conservatives won't fix this.

The People's Party has a comprehensive plan to unleash private investment, supercharge productivity, and put more money back into your pocket:

Make the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) permanent – Let businesses write off capital investments rapidly and skyrocket cash flow.
End Corporate Welfare – Zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero regional ...
