Tell us you're actually an authoritarian without telling us you're actually an authoritarian, Joe.
The DHS claimed a range of authority over the “MDM space,” included targeting views on racial justice and the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Those subjects stretch across much of the “space” used for political speech in the last few years. https://t.co/uFmCna3jDA

From jonathanturley.org:
New documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests show that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) argued that the agency could regulate speech related to “the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S. support to Ukraine” as well as “irregular immigration.”
Those subjects stretch across much of the “space” used for political speech in the last few years.
So DHS asserted the authority to target viewpoints on racial justice, Ukraine, and other political subjects, including views based on fact but viewed as misleading in context.
... viewed as misleading in context.
Isn't that interesting? Guess the 'context' was Americans actually knowing the truth. Can't have that, ya' know!
The party that used to believe in free speech and civil liberties is no longer.

From inception DHS was an authoritarian nightmare in the making.

“Notably, within DHS, Jen Easterly, who heads the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, extended her agency’s mandate over critical infrastructure to include ‘our cognitive infrastructure.’” https://t.co/Jg0rStbSLl
Horrifying, and yet we know none of these people will ever face consequences. https://t.co/NKFyrpA6MG
