Are We in a Free Speech Recession?

For years, debates over hate speech laws have been framed as moral disputes about civility and protection. Increasingly, however, they are becoming legal and political battles over the limits of “free” expression in democratic societies. 

A report by the Future of Free Speech project, titled The Free Speech Recession Hits Home, argues that established democracies are experiencing measurable declines in protections for speech once considered firmly safeguarded. The report contends that restrictions once associated primarily with authoritarian regimes are now expanding across Western countries under the banner of combating hate, misinformation, and extremism. 

Hate speech laws are being broadly interpreted all over the Western world, and their continued expansion is reshaping the boundaries of lawful expression.

Left-wing ideology is being encoded into AI systems to censor “wrongthink”

In 2021, a group of researchers dramatically departed OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. Led by Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s former vice president of research, they cited deep concerns about “AI safety.” The company was moving too fast, they warned, prioritising commercial interests over humanity’s future. The risks were said to be existential. These Effective Altruists were going to do things the right way.

Their solution? Start a new company called Anthropic, premised on building AI “the right way” with “safety” (that word will become a recurring theme), and “proper guardrails.” They initially raised hundreds of millions (today, that number is in the tens of billions) from investors who bought the pitch: we’re the good guys preventing runaway artificial general intelligence (“AGI”).

Noble, right? Except these supposed guardrails against AGI have become pretty much impossible to quantify. What we do have is an incredibly sophisticated content moderation system that filters inquiries and commands through a Silicon Valley thought bubble. It doesn’t seem like they’re trying to prevent AGI from destroying humanity, but instead, to prevent you from challenging the core tenets of their political philosophy.

Go ahead and try to generate content questioning climate ideology, the trans agenda, voter ID laws or election integrity, and watch the “safety” guardrails kick in.

This isn’t about preventing Skynet. It’s about making sure AI parrots the right opinions and associates with the right kind of people.

Now that Anthropic is its own technology giant of an AI company, they are facing the same critiques from true believers in the space. Amodei has put his principles on hold to allow for foreign investment from Gulf states with a poor human rights track record. However, the company remains guided by a secular progressive “philosopher” whose values remain entirely detached from America’s founding ideas.

Outrageous! Iowa State University Student President Impeached Due To Connection With Conservative Groups

In the latest example of anti conservative bias, a student government impeached its president due to his ties to TPUSA, according to a report from Campus Reform.

“Iowa State University’s Student Government voted to impeach President Colby Brandt during its Feb. 19 meeting for his affiliation with the Campus Victory Project.”

The Campus Victory Project is connected to TPUSA and helps students find leadership positions on campus.

If it was MoveOn.org, or another left wing group that the student was connected with, its doubtful he would be facing impeachment.

As usual, conservatism and patriotism are under attack on American campuses.

The student group impeached him on many “accounts,” including “Violation of the Oath of Office, claimed that Brandt failed to perform his duties “for the benefit of all students.”

“Brandt was also charged with Failure of a Representative, which claimed that he did not represent all students due to his obligations to CVP.”

Of course, they are simply claiming this and drumming up other accusations due to his affiliation with TPUSA.

Brandt declined to comment to Campus Reform, but instead is holding off till the student government Supreme Court adjudicates.

It was alleged during a meeting that the student group which impeached Brandt is not openly partisan in favor of left wing and Democrat causes.

“Any student who needs assistance or wants to create a project on the inclusivity, diversity, equity, and accessibility needs on campus can count on us,” the committee description states.

The assault on the rights of conservatives and free speech continues despite doublespeak about inclusivity.

One can hope that Brandt wins his case and remains in the position he rightfuly deserves.

Beloved New York Teacher Placed on Leave for Helping Students Launch TPUSA Chapter

A beloved Spanish teacher in upstate New York has been placed on a paid leave of absence by school officials after helping students launch a Turning Point USA chapter.

Jennifer Fasulo is an educator at Charles W. Baker High School in Baldwinsville, a suburb of Syracuse.

A student-led petition demanding her reinstatement has garnered over 2,100 signatures as of February 20, declaring, “We believe no educator should be punished for their personal beliefs.”

The petition states:

Mrs. Fasulo is a Spanish teacher at Charles W. Baker High School located in Baldwinsville New York. She is currently facing discrimination for her spiritual and political beliefs. She has been put on administrative leave and is pending termination. We believe no educator should be punished for their personal beliefs. Please sign this petition to show support and help us get Mrs. Fasulo back where she rightfully belongs. #FreeFasulo

One student praised her as a mentor whose “wisdom and compassion… is unmatched,” while Club America President Jerry Dygert blasted the decision at a February 9 school board meeting, saying, “This teacher is being targeted not because of her performance, but for her political beliefs… Our club exists to promote political understanding through civil discourse, removing the one teacher who best embodies those values puts that mission in serious jeopardy.”

JPMorgan Admits Closing Over 50 Trump Bank Accounts After January 6th

JPMorgan Chase has formally admitted that it terminated more than 50 accounts connected to President Donald Trump and his business operations in the wake of the January 6th protest.

The admission came in court filings responding to a lawsuit filed by Trump and the Trump Organization.

The suit names JPMorgan and its CEO, Jamie Dimon, of debanking the president as part of an orchestrated political attack.

According to documents submitted to the court, the closures affected accounts tied to Trump hotels, real estate projects, and retail ventures in multiple states, as well as his longstanding private banking relationship.

That relationship had handled personal financial matters, including assets linked to his inheritance.

The bank’s internal correspondence, included in the filing, does not cite a specific violation or financial irregularity.

In a letter dated February 2021, JPMorgan informed Trump that he would need to “find a more suitable institution with which to conduct business.”

“Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter,” it concluded.

The lawsuit alleges the bank “needed to distance itself from President Trump and his conservative political views,” effectively placing him on a blacklist.

“In essence, [JP Morgan] debanked plaintiffs’ accounts because it believed that the political tide at the moment favored doing so,” the lawsuit states.

‘He would not say that 2+2=5’: Tribunal demands $750,000 penalty for not embracing transmania

A committee of extremists in Canada is demanding a $750,000 penalty from a former school trustee who simply stated the science that using chemicals and surgical mutilations to transition children from one sex to another amounts to child abuse.

The stunning result is from the BC Human Rights Tribunal, which has had Barry Neufeld in court for something like a decade over his refusal to adhere to the leftist ideology that boys can become girls and vice versa.

The science confirms that is impossible, as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level.

A report at Not the Bee explains:

Barry Neufeld was a school trustee for the Chilliwack School District who was trying to protect kids by stopping the woke school policies that have destroyed children’s safety across the Western world. Neufeld made his “offending” comments in 2017, when he said the medical transition of children amounted to child abuse. Neufeld refused to back down, denying the teachings of modern gender theory (such as the belief that gender is a “spectrum”), citing not only biological fact but the biblical teaching that God created humans male and female.”

The tribunal wildly claimed that the calling the transgender ideologies “indoctrination” actually “poisoned” the work environment for LGBT teachers who follow that faith.

“They ruled against him because he would not say that 2+2=5.”

The committee stated, “If a person elects not to ‘believe’ that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth, then they do not ‘believe’ in transpeople. This is a form of existential denial. A person does not need to believe in Christianity to accept that another person is Christian. However, to accept that a person is transgender, one must accept that their gender identity is different than their sex assigned at birth.”

Tucker Carlson Addresses “Detainment” Incident at Israeli Airport for the First Time

Tucker Carlson has addressed the Daily Mail’s report that claimed he was detained in Israel.

In his latest interview, in which he sat down with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, Tucker addressed the report on the detention incident.

Tucker at the start of the video shared that after the interview concluded with Huckabee, Israeli authorities were holding on to his and his producers’ passports.

The former Fox News host further shared that two of his producers “were called into rooms and given the third degree.”

After one of his producers left the room where he was being asked questions, he came out of the room and told Tucker, “That was the weirdest experience of my life. They asked me questions about the interview.”

Tucker added, “They were doing an intel op and humiliation exercise on my producer. This isn’t security. We are leaving right now!”

However, during his statement on the incident, Tucker Carlson never mentioned that he himself had been taken to a room and interrogated or detained, contradicting the Daily Mail’s report.

Shortly after the report went viral, security footage of Tucker Carlson taking a picture of a man at the airport went viral, with many users on X using the clip to refute Tucker’s claims about his team’s treatment at the airport.

This Federal Judge’s Ruling Against Trump Oozes With Hypocrisy

Yet another activist judge has made the choice to subvert the will of the people by penning a pompous opinion targeting a completely reasonable action of the Trump administration. This time around, it’s a woman complaining that the removal of exhibits that overly emphasize the slave-ownership of George Washington is “Orwellian” while also arguing that the Trump administration is guilty of wrong-think.

Judge Cynthia Rufe, an appointee of George W. Bush, claimed that Trump “had attacked the concept of truth itself as it sought to erase details of America’s legacy of slavery,” according to Politico.

She also suggested that the Trump administration had declared war on the truth.

“The government here likewise asserts truth is no longer self-evident, but rather the property of the elected chief magistrate and his appointees and delegees,” Rufe argued. “And why? Solely because, as Defendants state, it has the power.”

While she might claim that the truth might not be the property of any politician, Rufe sure seems to believe that it is her property. An unelected judge suddenly gets to decide which signs the government is and isn’t allowed to have posted, and somehow the Trump administration are the Orwellian ones? It seems the only one who has the power to assert what is and isn’t true are the countless members of the judiciary that subvert the Trump administration at every possible turn.

Woman Sparks Major Uproar After Bragging About Calling Child Protective Services On High School Students Who Attended a TPUSA Gathering

A woman has admitted to a disgusting act of outright and wicked censorship regarding conservative high school students, sparking a massive national outrage.

A nosy leftist community leader in Calvert County, Maryland, named Nancy Krause spoke at the Calvert County Board of Education meeting on February 12, 2026 where she made a startling admission: she had notified Child Protective Services due to her supposed safety concerns over a December 2025 Turning Point USA gathering.

Krause also claimed she was concerned about potential conflicts of interest among board members who reportedly spoke at the event.

NANCY: In December of 2025, Turning Point USA hosted an event marketed to high school students with food and beverages advertised as an incentive for attendance.

While community building opportunities for students are important, this event raises serious concerns related to student safety, parental rights and governance oversight. Adults and legal guardians were not permitted to attend the event.

Excluding parents and guardians from a student-focused event creates a lack of transparency and undermines established best practices for youth safety.

I’m also concerned about a potential conflict of interest involving board of education members who served as guests and spoke at this event.

Students are widely recognized as a vulnerable population, they are in critical developmental stages, and especially susceptible to influence.

All Board of Education members in this room are mandated reporters under state law, as I am. Based on the circumstances surrounding this event, a report was made to Child Protective Services.

A student who spoke before Krause said his group placed restrictions on the event after receiving “hate” online.

This included barring access for adults they did not know who were not volunteers or parents of attendees.

He also revealed that all students who attended had parental permission.

As of this writing, no action has been taken against Krause for her censorious move.

Krause’s action sparked an uproar among conservatives on social media.

Brazil Charges Woman for 2020 Social Media Posts Under Court-Defined “Transphobia”

Brazil is preparing to put a woman on trial for words she typed online nearly five years ago, a case that illustrates how speech regulation now functions through judicial interpretation rather than legislation.

Isadora Borges, a resident of Paraíba, is accused of committing the crime of “transphobia” after posting comments on social media in November 2020 about sex, biology, and gender identity.

Her full name is Isadora Borges de Aquino Silva. She is 34 years old, a veterinary student, and is a self-described feminist.

Federal prosecutors argue that those posts warrant criminal prosecution. If convicted on all counts, Borges could receive a prison sentence ranging from four to ten years.

The posts appeared on X, then operating as Twitter, during a period of intense online debate over gender theory. One message stated that “transgender” women “were obviously born male.”

Another said: “A person who identifies as transgender retains their birth DNA. No surgery, synthetic hormone, or clothing change will change this fact…” The remarks were widely shared and circulated beyond Borges’s own account.

After the posts gained traction, a complaint was filed with federal police by Erika Hilton, a politician and transgender woman, who has been central to other similar free speech cases. That complaint initiated a criminal process that remained dormant for years.

Borges learned in September 2025 that prosecutors had formally charged her with two counts of “transphobia,” each carrying a possible sentence of two to five years. Her first court hearing is scheduled for tomorrow, February 10.

She is being represented with the support of ADF International. Julio Pohl, legal counsel for the organization, said the case reflects a deep problem in how Brazil now treats political and social expression. “No one should face a decade behind bars for expressing an opinion on a matter of public concern,” he said, in a press statement sent to Reclaim The Net. “Weaponising Brazil’s expansive ‘transphobia’ laws to punish peaceful expression is a profound violation of freedom of speech.”

Borges has spoken publicly about why she addressed the subject in the first place: “I commented on the issue because I care about the truth and protecting women. No one should ever fear going to prison for recognizing biological reality. I hope that my case can serve as a turning point in fighting censorship in Brazil. Brazilians deserve the freedom to speak openly without punishment.”

Federal prosecutors argue that publishing and amplifying those views constitutes criminal conduct. A conviction would bring fines and incarceration. Even without a guilty verdict, the legal process itself imposes high financial and personal costs.

The charges rely on a legal structure created by Brazil’s pro-censorship Supreme Court rather than by Parliament.
