Orwell set his warning 35 years in the future. We’re 42 years past his deadline. This week the Pentagon scripted headlines, the FCC threatened licenses, and the White House posted war footage mixed with video game graphics. #1984 #Orwell #StateMedia #PressFreedom #Iran #CanItHappenHere

Step one: threaten broadcast licenses. Step two: produce your own propaganda. Step three: install a billionaire ally at the networks you can’t control. This isn’t an attack on the media. It’s a strategy. #StateMedia #FCC #PressFreedom #MediaTakeover #Iran #Suppress #Substitute #Acquire

When Florida withdrew hormone therapy from trans inmates, they made Sauge Smith cut her hair and took her bra. The prison uniform was a thin white t-shirt. She died by suicide. The federal government just applied this policy to 2,200 people. #TransRights  #ConversionTherapy #OurDemocracyCollective
