The Epoch Times: Who Is the Ministry of Truth?
Americans built the Internet with radical self-reliance, creating a new world of possibility for themselves and future generations. However, the COVID-19 pandemic brought about federal agencies positioning themselves as gatekeepers, stifling freedom of speech, silencing ideas, and destroying livelihoods. The Louisiana Attorney General's Office, along with Missouri, argued in federal court against the federal government's censorship of Americans via Big Tech, discovering that the decision to vaporize digital identities went all the way to the highest levels of the White House. The violation of the First Amendment has spread deep within our federal institutions, and the federal government shows no qualms about doing it again. The U.S. Constitution is the last line of defense against Big Brother.

The Federalist Papers: Video Shows Bud Light's Painful Situation Inside Kentucky Gas Station: 'Boycott Is in Full Effect'
A video shared on Twitter shows that sales of Bud Light appear to be dwindling, with its shelves remaining mostly fully stocked compared to other beer brands. The result of the brand's partnership with transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney has sparked a boycott, which has been driving Bud Light’s fortunes to dwindle day by day.

The Federalist Papers: Proposed Bill Seeks to Punish Parents Who Don't 'Affirm' Their Child's Gender Identity During Custody Disputes
California's proposed bill A.B. 957, aimed at addressing custody disputes involving transgender-identifying children, has undergone revisions that could potentially impact parental rights and impose a particular gender ideology on families, sparking concerns among critics. The revised bill states that parents' refusal to "affirm" their child's gender identity could be considered a violation of health, safety, and welfare, potentially leading to allegations of abuse, and stipulates that the parent who supports and affirms the child's preferred gender identity should be favored in custody disputes. The bill represents the latest addition to a series of left-wing gender ideology-related legislation in California.
Critics worry that the amendment to the bill might pave the way for non-affirmation of a child's gender identity to be categorized as abuse, potentially diminishing the custodial and visitation rights of parents who do not adhere to radical left-wing gender ideology. The most recent modifications to A.B. 957 were made public on Tuesday, ahead of its first Senate committee hearing scheduled for next week. The legislation does not provide a precise definition of affirmation but instructs judges to treat anything less than full affirmation as equivalent to issues such as a history of substance abuse, physical abuse, or neglect, disregarding the differentiation between social transition and medical sex-change procedures and a child's age or the duration of their transgender identification. Critics argue that the bill could infringe upon parental rights.
The Epoch Times: 'Leave Our Kids Alone': Hundreds Gather in Ottawa to Protest Against Gender Ideology
Protests took place in Ottawa over gender ideology being taught to children.

Protesters against the use of puberty-blockers and indoctrination to believe one is born in the wrong body cited a Swedish study that discovered 10 years after sex reassignment surgery, transgender adults had suicide rates 19.1 times higher than their peers. Counter-protesters said concerns around puberty-blockers being irreversible were unfounded.
