A Huge Win for Freedom of Speech!

News of a judge's ruling makes this July 4th extra special

I found this T-Shirt the other day for 99c and today is a perfect day to wear it!

I had no intention of writing even one post today let alone three. I was going to make the most of today, a day where I just so happened to have no commitments and zero plans to meet up with anyone, to scratch some ‘to-do’s off my list and hopefully rest a bit too. However SMG shared this tweet by Justin Hart, and I have to share the good news if you haven’t already heard it:

In a nutshell, the government will NO LONGER be able to censor you over social media!

HAPPY 4th of JULY! A judge just ruled the government can:

1. NO LONGER CENSOR YOU

2. NO LONGER FLAG YOUR POSTS

3. NO LONGER DICTATE SOCIAL MEDIA POLICIES

4. NO LONGER COMMUNICATE WITH THESE COMPANIES TO CENSOR YOU

5. NO LONGER WORK WITH THE EIP, the Virality Project, Stanford Internet Observatory

6. NO LONGER THREATEN these companies

7. NO MORE BOLOs! ...

(I’ve searched but I actually can’t figure out what a BOLO is, can anyone help with that acronym?)

and more!

A great day for justice. But not only that... the judge named names and institutions!

• DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES (“HHS”)

• THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES (“NIAID”)

• XAVIER BECERRA, Secretary of HHS

• DR. HUGH AUCHINCLOSS, Director of NIAID

So yes my friends, 'tis a Happy Fourth of July! A great day to share this moving video that fellow Saner, Arjun, sent me a few months ago after I asked him to tell me what he knew about the Star Spangled Banner:
