TikTok owned by the Ellisons who now have Paramount, Warner Broa, CBS and CNN. Was real great to let fascists take control of virtually all media.
Bleecker Street, the film distributor overseeing the theatrical release of Alex Gibney's documentary Musk, was informed on Friday that the film's TikTok account was subject to "permanent suspension." tinyurl.com/4yd9997x

Nobody hates free speech more than the fascist tech oligarchs who claimed to care about it more than anyone. What an absolute joke. P.S. they also hate democracy. As we hand them control of the country. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

When I testified to Congress this summer I highlighted Hines’ close ties to Tether. The WSJ has now uncovered a bombshell: Tether was paying Hines WHILE he crafted Trump’s signature piece of crypto legislation. apple.news/ALBX-2SuhRe6...

A judge barred Ohio political blogger D.J. Byrnes' (aka @rooster.info) #FirstAmendment defense in his trial for sending a sexually explicit Shrek image to state Sen. Jerry Cirino (R-Kirtland). Byrnes was found guilty, ordered to pay $200 plus court costs. www.axios.com/local/clevel...

So yeah, to the average person it’s probably about Shrekking a grandfather of 41 but what it’s actually about is can a powerful politician jail his longtime detractor over constitutional free speech if he has a judge and police chief he can lean on? I doubt actual victims get similar efforts.

And then you have the efforts to arrest me at the Statehouse, which Rob McColley’s chief of staff signed off on, and then Lake County calling for a favor to the Franklin County Jail to deny my bond sheet and hold me overnight, trying to make me jailed until they could spare a deputy to get me.

It was. But it had to be waged despite having the arm tied behind out back when 1A went out the window, because I wanted average people to see how the Republican junta functions in a nationalized trial in a GOP hotbed three weeks before Election Day. And to that effect, it was mission accomplished.
Kangaroo-ass trial

At pretrial he said that it was for the jury to decide the 1A issue because I texted Cirino’s private line. Then in days before the trial, he tossed the 1A despite us offering stone-cold evidence Cirino used the phone to conduct wide swaths of government business! Just insane stuff.

But yeah, I’d have no problem with the conviction if I had sent some random person, and not one of the top four most powerful politicians in Ohio, a nude Shrek. But it wasn’t that. It was attached to political commentary on his downfall. And then he tampered with a witness in broad daylight!

It’s still fucking insane to me the judge ruled that the First Amendment didn’t apply before the trial and that my lawyers couldn’t mount that defense. Like, what? It’s literally in the Bill of Rights I thought?
After Larry Flynt died America asked Ohio for another First Amendment hero, and they gave us @rooster.info. O-H!

When Jon Husted voted against the release of the Epstein files, he chose to protect predators and enablers instead of fighting for survivors like Annie Farmer, Sharlene Rochard, and Wendy Pesante. I’m honored to be joined by these women in our fight to hold pedophiles and their enablers accountable.

“The offshore funds were then converted into other currencies and Tether, a crypto pegged to the U.S. dollar, that would allow A7 clients to make purchases without sanctions-related restrictions. In January 2025, the companies converted more than half of the deposits into dollars, euros and Tether.”

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

TFW you and your boy were promised Pabst & Pierogis but had to settle for a stump speech from the notorious conman.
There are 10,000-year-old unopened crypts with a better aroma than what’s on tap in Parma today. Perhaps no bigger losers in Ohio politics than conman, Third Place Frank and Josh Mandel.

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social is urging fellow Ds to vote FOR the corrupt crypto CLARITY Act. I’m sure this has nothing to do with the fact that her 22 year old son received a $30 mil investment from a VC fund led by a crypto billionaire www.politico.com/live-updates...
