Democrat’s Censorship Bill Would Punish ‘Civic Misinformation’ With Up to Five Years in Prison

“imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.”

That is the maximum prison penalty in Democrat Jim McGovern’s Big Tech Accountability Act for knowingly disseminating qualifying “fraudulent civic misinformation,” with the purpose or reasonable expectation that others will believe and rely or act on it.

The definition reaches materially false, fraudulent, or misleading information about government services and processes—including elections, public health, civil rights, and education.

The censorship mechanism is direct: federal prosecution of qualifying speech, backed by separate provisions increasing publishers’ and platforms’ exposure to civil lawsuits. Free Speech For People, the organization now demanding President Trump’s impeachment, says the legislation was developed with the group.

The bill’s definition of “publishing entity”includes print publishers, radio licensees, television stations, online services, and advertising agencies. Its separate publisher offense carries the same five-year maximum for knowingly publishing or targeting information in aid of a qualifying violation.

COVID-Dissident Doctor Arrested For “Insulting” Berlin Mayor

A German doctor who rose to prominence during the Covid period for his criticism of the Covid-response measures has been arrested in Berlin in connection with “insults” of Berlin’s outgoing Mayor Kai Wegner. Paul Brandenburg, who has several social media channels and a podcast, has previously been the target of numerous other German speech-crime investigations and charges. Although a native Berliner, he presently lives in Switzerland. He was arrested at Berlin’s Willy Brandt airport last Wednesday in the company of his 10 year-old child. According to his lawyer Markus Haintz, he was travelling with the child, who still lives in Berlin.

“Insults” are a crime under Section 185 of the German Criminal Code. Under Section 188 of the Criminal Code, Germany’s so-called lèse-majesté law, public officials like Wegner enjoy heightened protection against “insults” as well as against “malicious gossip” and defamation, which is treated as a crime not a tort.

According to Haintz, Brandenburg is being investigated in connection with four charges of simple “insults” of Wegner and two charges of defamation under the lèse-majesté law.

Although German speech crime charges rarely result in arrests, the Berlin public prosecutor’s office told the German alternative media outlet Apollo News that Brandenburg was arrested because he represented a “flight risk”. In addition, the prosecutor’s office noted that defamation under the lèse-majesté law carries a minimum sentence of six months in prison. It also referred to prior convictions. Brandenburg is reported to have ignored prior fines.

All of Brandenburg’s alleged “insults” of Wegner allude in one way or another to the Berlin government’s association with the Berlin-based drag queen and trans-activist who goes by the stage-name Jurassica Parka. Parka’s real name is Mario Olszinski. In September, Olszinski was convicted of the possession of child pornography by the Berlin Regional Court and sentenced to 10 months in prison with probation. He had already been convicted of distributing “child pornographic writings” in 2023.

The investigation that led to Olszinski’s latest conviction was opened following receipt of a tip on Olszinski’s online activities from the US National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. According to numerous reports in the German press, the investigation was opened in May 2025. Nonetheless, two months later, on July 14th, none other than ‘Jurassica Parka’ hosted a gala sponsored by none other than the Berlin police! Olszinski’s home was raided by the police that very month, according to some reports before and other reports after the gala.

Be that as it may, the gala was dedicated to raising money for alleged queer victims of ‘hate crimes’, which in Germany may also include ‘hate speech’. The event was titled Gemeinsambunt, which roughly translates as ‘Diversely Together’. The official patron of the event was Berlin police chief Barbara Slowik. Deputy police chief Marco Langner posed with Olszinski. Olszinski wore a miniskirt; Langner a Scottish kilt.

According to Apollo News, Wegner was also present. Wegner is, incidentally, a member of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party. One year earlier, according to Apollo News, ‘Jurassica Parka’ hosted another event sponsored by the Berlin government. This one was titled “Queens and Flowers” and included a “Drag-Queen Reading Hour” for children.

Saying there are 2 sexes is ‘very transphobic,’ Oregon State instructor says

A class instructor reported an Oregon State University student to the bias response team after he argued there are only two sexes in a final course project.

The incident report, obtained by The College Fix through a public records request, reveals that an instructor (or teaching assistant) flagged the male undergraduate student for holding views critical of gender theory.

The incident was among 20 bias reports filed at Oregon State at the start of the Fall 2025 semester.

While specific details, dates, and course titles were heavily redacted by university public records office the remaining narrative makes it clear that the student’s offense stemmed from disputing that gender is on a spectrum.

According to the report, the student was enrolled in an eight-week summer Canvas course within the university’s College of Education. As part of the course requirements, students were tasked with submitting an “action project” designed to identify a local issue, outline potential collaborators, project a timeline, and take an initial step toward a solution.

Despite acknowledging that the student had “consistently done well in the course, and not struggled with any of the other social justice content,” the instructor initiated formal administrative intervention over the final project, writing that the submission contained “extensive examples of transphobia.”

“Many of the claims he makes in his paper, and the sources he uses, are very transphobic,” the instructor wrote in the report, which categorized the perceived motive as involving “Gender identity, Gender expression, [and] Sex.”

Pelosi, Schumer, and Other Democrats Lash Out at Haley Stevens for Endorsing Mike Rogers – Michigan Democratic Chair Kicks Her Out of Party!

Rep. Haley Stevens is facing backlash from top Democrats after she crossed party lines and endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in the heated Michigan Senate race on Sunday.

The state’s Democratic Party chairman even declared that she is no longer a member of the party, “nor will she be in the future.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Stevens broke away from her party and joined Mike Rogers at a black church this morning before announcing her official endorsement of the Trump-backed Republican.

“I don’t belong in Abdul’s campaign. I do not stand with Hasan Piker, who gets trafficked on our college campuses. A dear friend of mine earlier today was saying that education is on the ballot, and she’s absolutely right. And what our students see, what our children see, and who we are as Michiganders is not hate, and is not what we are getting out from our Democratic nominee right now,” she continued.

“So, I am just one person. I love this state, as some of you know. I’ve, you know, run a campaign saying that it was a love letter to Michigan, and I’m here to declare who we are as Michiganders. This is Phil Hart’s seat for the U.S. Senate. This is the conscience of the Senate right now and our Michigan moment. And I’m just letting you know where I am. I’m still a very proud Democrat. I still very much believe in everything I voted for and said, and I’ve worked really hard, and will continue to do so in all the ways life’s opportunities afford. Godspeed, and love you all so much.”

El-Sayed Supporter Thrown Down by Police After Tackling Conservative Reporter on Michigan College Campus, Screams “I Should Have F*cking Killed You” During Arrest

A self-described liberal mental patient attacked and threatened to kill a conservative reporter during a free speech event at the University of Michigan on Sunday.

According to independent reporter Cam Higby, the insane woman is an Abdul El-Sayed supporter.

Liz Benichou, a Jewish activist who was filming man-on-the-street interviews on campus, was shoved to the ground by the lunatic during an apparent debate.

Out of nowhere, the woman shoved her to the ground and jumped on top of Benichou as multiple individuals tried to hold her back before police arrived.

The cop threw her on the ground and slapped cuffs on her as she tried to resist and screamed profanities at the cops, admitting to the attack. “What the f*ck are you going to do to me because I hit a f*cking dumb ass b*tch in the face?” she said.

Then, as police loaded her into the cruiser, she began screaming, “You stupid f*cking c*nt!” She screamed at Benichou, “I should have f*cking killed you when I had the f*cking chance!”

French Mayor Calls for Discussing ‘Great Replacement’ to Become a Crime

A leading leftist mayor in France has called on the government to outlaw public debate of the “Great Replacement”, thereby potentially turning large sections of the native population into thought criminals.

The Moroccan-heritage mayor of the multicultural Paris suburb of Trappes, Ali Rabeh, accused the so-called “far-right” of being responsible for the shooting which occurred in his city earlier this month, claiming that discussions surrounding the “Great Replacement” had radicalised the suspected shooter, who killed one and injured five others in an alleged retaliation against ethnic and religious minorities for the previous month of riots and looting.

Appearing on France Inter on Friday, Mayor Rabeh said, according to Le Journal du Dimanche, that the 1881 law on press freedom could be amended to include penalties for “those who have presented a group of people, because of their origin, their belonging to a religion, an ethnicity or a so-called race as actors in a replacement process.”

“I think the law needs to be toughened,” he said, claiming that the “provisions preventing incitement to racial hatred” are “insufficient.”

The term was originally coined by French philosopher Renaud Camus, who argued that elites in Western societies viewed their citizens as interchangeable economic units that could be replaced by cheaper migrant labour with little consequence.

Mayor Rabeh specifically pointed to presidential candidate Éric Zemmour, complaining that despite having been convicted for inciting racial hatred, he is “still invited to almost every talk show to spew his hatred and venom without being threatened with anything other than a fine, which for him is insignificant.”

Zemmour, a leading proponent of re-migration in the country, responded: “The Gulag is on the march. Here is the project of their socialist-Islamic Republic.”

The proposal was also criticised by National Rally president Jordan Bardella — the current favourite to become the next prime minister of France — who remarked that the move would “criminalise the feelings of at least 60 per cent of the French, who observe a ‘profound demographic transformation.’ Unless it’s to celebrate it, of course.”

INSANE VIDEO: Creepy Transgender Roblox Developer Says, ‘Republicans Should Be Shot in the Street,’ Gets Cited for Attacking Utah College Republican

A biological male who identifies as a woman and goes by the name “Amber Grace” told University of Utah College Republicans that “Republicans should be shot in the street” moments before tackling a student and ripping his shirt during a campus tabling event.

Rylie Barnes, president of the College Republicans chapter, captured the assault on video.

Journalist Andy Ngo identified the individual as Robert Jefferson Tulley, a Roblox game developer who works at Gamefam Studios in Salt Lake City on children’s gaming projects.

The confrontation took place near the Marriott Library, where the College Republicans had set up a whiteboard reading “There are only two genders” and inviting students to vote yes or no.

According to the group, Tulley approached the table, wiped the board clean by hand, and later returned after it was redrawn.

When a member asked whether he believed in free speech, Tulley laughed and replied, “No, I think Republicans should be shot in the street, personally.”

Tulley then demanded the video be deleted, and when refused, he lunged, tackled the student to the ground, and tore his sweatshirt and shirt.

Bystanders broke it up.

Germany’s Political Justice? AfD Lawmaker Convicted Over Innocent Family Protection Poster

Imagine running for office on a promise to protect families — and ending up with a criminal record because of a photograph of parents shielding their children.

That is what happened to Wilko Möller, a lawmaker from Germany’s right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

His alleged offense? Distributing a campaign poster featuring a mother and father forming a protective roof with their arms over three children.

The slogan read: “We Protect Your Children.”

German prosecutors argued that the father’s raised right arm looked like a Nazi salute.

Now, Germany’s highest criminal court has upheld Möller’s conviction.

The price: €11,600 and a criminal record.

A Family Photo Becomes a Criminal Offense

The controversy began during the 2024 state election campaign in Brandenburg, eastern Germany.

Möller’s campaign used a commercially available stock photograph showing two adults protecting three children beneath their raised arms.

The image was digitally mirrored by the advertising agency preparing the poster.

That detail became central to the prosecution.

In the original photograph, the man raised his left arm. After the image was reversed, he appeared to raise his right arm.

Under German law, the Nazi salute is prohibited. The ban also covers gestures deemed confusingly similar to it.

Prosecutors argued that the mirrored photograph crossed that legal boundary.

The Regional Court in Frankfurt (Oder) agreed.

Why We Must Stand with Major Jason Watson

For almost two months, an Air Force officer has been sitting alone in a cell, twenty-four hours a day. When they let him out to eat or exercise, he’s still alone, according to his attorney.

His name is Major Jason Watson. He hasn’t been convicted of anything. Under military law he is presumed innocent, yet he’s still in that cell.

I know something about solitary confinement. I also know what it feels like when a government would rather silence you than answer for its transgressions. That’s why I can’t stay quiet about Major Watson. And it’s why I think we need to talk about the kind of courage this country says it admires, right up until someone actually shows it.

What Major Watson Did

On July 1, Major Watson walked up the House steps of the U.S. Capitol in uniform and stood there holding a sign that read “Impeach. Convict. Remove.” He was calling for the removal of President Trump and Vice President Vance. Capitol Police arrested him. The D.C. charges were dropped, but he was taken from the courthouse straight into Air Force custody and restricted to base. In August he went on CNN and said it again. The next day, the Air Force ordered him into pretrial confinement.

He now faces ten charges under three articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ): three under Article 88 for allegedly using “contemptuous words” against the president, five under Article 92 for failing to obey orders or regulations, and two under Article 133 for “conduct unbecoming an officer,” as his lawyers confirmed in a public statement.

I’m not here to argue about uniform regulations. What bothers me, and what should bother anyone paying attention, is what the Article 88 charges and that solitary cell tell us about how power handles real dissent.

Watson didn’t hide behind a fake name. He didn’t retain or leak anything classified. He put his own name and face on what he believed, in public, knowing what it would cost.

Before he took that stand, he asked himself, “What’s the highest price that I’m willing to pay?” His answer was, more or less, whatever it takes. That’s what bravery looks like. You’re still afraid. You go anyway, knowing hell is coming.

Punished Before He Is Tried

Here is what troubles me most. The military is punishing Major Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it. Article 13 of the UCMJ says no one being held for trial may be punished, and that pretrial confinement may be no “more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence.” The idea is straight-forward. Someone waiting for a court-martial is presumed innocent, and the military isn’t allowed to treat him as guilty.

Locking a person alone in a cell for months is punishment by any ordinary meaning of the word. Watson’s attorney has said solitary is usually reserved for people who are violent or disobedient, and even then only for a few days or a week. At Watson’s Article 32 hearing, the hearing officer said the isolation was required because he can’t be housed with civilian inmates.

Even if you accept that explanation, it doesn’t undo what isolation does to a person’s mind. And it doesn’t answer the bigger question: why is a peaceful man whose only “offense” was speaking locked up at all? You can’t even argue that the punishment doesn’t fit the crime, because officially it isn’t punishment. When the people offended by your words also get to decide what counts as a crime, and what counts as punishment, the law stops being fair or predictable.

I can tell you from experience that solitary is built to grind you down. I was thrown into solitary in prison because I wouldn’t let a guard on a power trip treat me as anything less than a human being. My punishment for standing up for my dignity was a cell less than half the size of my usual cage. No window. No sunlight. Nothing to remind me there was a world outside. No contact with anyone, including my family, who went days without hearing from me and had no idea what was happening.

That kind of isolation isn’t about safety or order or paperwork. It’s about breaking someone, and about sending a message to everyone else. Major Watson stood up against an administration he believes is trampling the Constitution. For that act of conscience, they’re trying to make him disappear.

College Student Files Official ETHICS COMPLAINT Against Senator Elissa Slotkin for Her Threats to Young People Thinking of Working for Trump

Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan was in the news two weeks ago because she said that she wants to go after Trump’s inner circle in order to scare young people who might be thinking of going to work for the Trump administration.

It was clearly a threat. Go to work for Trump and you might find yourself in a world of trouble.

Now a student from the University of Chicago has filed an official ethics complaint against Slotkin. She deserves this.

The College Fix reports:

University of Chicago student files ethics complaint against Sen. Slotkin

A University of Chicago student has filed an ethics complaint against Sen. Elissa Slotkin for her recent suggestion that college graduates who work for the Trump administration might be prosecuted.

“Senator Slotkin, if you thought this was over, you’re wrong,” said student Michael Bicksel in a video he posted on X on Oct. 22 as he held up a copy of an ethics complaint he filed with the U.S. Senate.

“The complaint was submitted to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics and argues that Slotkin proposed using congressional investigations and potential prosecutions to frighten young people away from serving in a Republican administration,” Fox News reported.

“The complaint asks the committee to determine whether Slotkin’s comments amounted to ‘improper conduct which may reflect upon the Senate,’ a standard described in the Senate Ethics Manual as applying to conduct that may be unethical even if it does not violate a specific law or Senate rule,” the outlet reported.

Speaking Oct. 13 at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics, the Michigan Democrat said potential legal problems should be a deterrent against working for Trump…

The comments drew widespread criticism as a threat to young conservative graduates looking to work in government, as well as complaints the sentiments were akin to “Bolshevik tactics.”
