Hello All,

The "Free Speech President" is in the process of negotiating the largest internet censorship bills we've seen. Neither Democrats or Republicans support free speech and should not be allowed to interfere with Americans' access to the Internet or information.

The Trump administration is cynically exploiting calls for stricter AI regulation to pass broad censorship measures at the federal level.

Hello All,

Many of our members are involved in efforts to change voting regulations in New Jersey. Matt Amitrano from Piscataway has an update about a successful effort to adopt Ranked Choice Voting for their local elections. Please give it a read!

Matt Amitrano [This excerpt has been slightly edited. The full, unedited version is found in the associated Text Document]:

"On May 14th, 2026, at the Piscataway Board of Education meeting a resolution to support the Municipal and School Board Voting Options Act was unanimously approved by board members. This act once passed into law will allow school boards, towns, and cities in New Jersey to implement Ranked Choice Voting for elections. [...]

Voter Choice NJ is a nonpartisan organization run by volunteers who are dedicated to working with local municipalities to grow support for Ranked Choice Voting within New Jersey. They host fun, hands-on educational events throughout the state open to everyone.

These events have played a critical role in getting support in Hoboken, Jersey City, Montclair, Collingswood, South Brunswick, Princeton, Red Bank, South Orange and Maplewood.

The Piscataway Board of Education joined in support of the South Orange-Maplewood Board of Education’s resolution at the most recent New Jersey School Board Association Delegate Assembly to allow school boards to use Ranked Choice Voting. The resolution did not pass this time but there is optimism it will in the near future.

"We in Piscataway are committed to strengthening democratic participation and promoting electoral processes that reflect the full range of community preferences. Giving voters a full range of choices strengthens the democratic process for all" said Piscataway School Board President Nancy L. Salgado-Cowen in a press release. [...] "

Hello All,

People are often quick to dismiss anything that seems hard or impossible. However, what people fail to consider is that the pursuit of an ideal, while perhaps not possible, might still bring about a far more preferable state of affairs than we already have. James Madison, in a letter penned in the 1790s argues that universal peace, while highly unlikely, ought to be pursued as even a few steps towards it would greatly benefit humanity. Give it a read!

Meme Monday:

Hello All,

For those who haven't been following an NDAA proposal, Section 224 would significantly intertwine the US and Israeli militaries. These new mergers would affect military technology, data, weaponry and training, etc. While not an accurate description some pundits have called this a merger of US and Israeli militaries. While there are certainly tactical benefits associated with data sharing this proposal is intensifying the worries of American citizens about our close ties with Israel. Some have even called this an attack on American military independence. While Libertarians have always championed free trade and peaceful cooperation between all peoples, we also call for an end to needless military and global entanglements. US military assents should exist exclusively for our defense, not the interests of other nations.

Hello All,

Allegedly the Ho-Ho-Kus police wrongfully arrested an autistic man who was caught "muttering" on a neighbor's porch cam. The claimant, William Krywos, is a 53-year-old man with autism who has previously been approached by law enforcement due to his particular form of stimming. Rather than issue him a summons, which would have allowed his attorney to easily resolve the matter, he was arrested at his home, only to later have the prosecutor drop all charges. In total, he spent 13 days in jail awaiting a hearing. Krywos' attorney claims that the claimant was wrongfully arrested and without probable cause.

Police arrested William Krywos after his neighbors reviewed security footage and called police.
