Campus Speech Curfews, DOJ vs. LA Sheriff, and The People’s Record

Tonight’s Let’s Talk Freedom digs into two flashpoints for civil liberties—and why organizing in the private still matters.

Topics

• Texas campus “curfew” law (10pm–8am) and FIRE’s federal lawsuit: is time-of-day speech restriction constitutional on public campuses—or a slow erosion of rights?
• Public vs. private grounds, noise ordinances, and how policy creep chips away “a little at a time.”
• DOJ sues the LA County Sheriff over delayed concealed-carry permits: admin delay vs. the 2A in practice, Chevron’s long shadow, and precedent.
• Digital ID + speech policing trends abroad, and why this community pushes resilient infrastructure.
• The People’s Record: a community-run public record anchored to Bitcoin + IPFS (tamper-resistant and globally accessible).
• Money corner: swap lines (Japan, South Korea), “hidden QE,” foreign flows, and the near-term reality for your purchasing power.
