A Kansas physics teacher is facing criminal charges after being arrested for repeatedly clapping during a public hearing about a controversial AI data center project, an incident that has fueled debate over free speech, public participation, and the growing backlash against AI infrastructure.
what in the name of heavens is going on when freedom of speech is denied and businesses are able to put profits above above environmental concerns and safety!!!! wake up people!!! profits to millionaires and billionaires above public health and safety is going way too far!!! when will it end!!! thank you to those defending and speaking up!
The shithole people in the room enabled this to happen , we have to have eachother backs, fuck fear fuck crowd psychology, fuck bystander effect, fuck the people for only sitting there and not clapping along in solidarity thus diffusing the situation. Have we not learned Literally the same scene from Wicked with the goat !!!!
I guess the is the next step. Trumps administration has create an atmosphere of intolerance and over reaction by police forces that kind of a arrest would appear to be in total violation of the first amendment and other amendments to the USconstitution
When did applauding a speaker become a criminal offence! The repression they are trying to impose to silence opposition has reached Nazi proportions. Many of those people are elected officials and I just hope people remember when the time comes a vote them out of office

Welcome in Hitlers Germany
MAGA was nothing if not about the 1A.
Think the rePUSlicans care about your civil rights? Think again…
ICE: really sick fucks.
Is this real and not satire?
It’s definitely real!
I suggest replacing your "commissioners" ASAP!
Who needs this bullshit from people who always cry "freedom" and then refuse to let it ring ( or clap, in this instance)?
You seriously have FOUR security people at a public meeting? You have some serious problems in Kansas and clapping at a meeting is NOT ONE of them!
When will people (security) refuse to do the bidding of fascists?
