As Twitchy reported this week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom ignored the First Amendment entirely and signed a bill banning you from distributing “an ad or other election communications that contain materially deceptive content.”

What’s materially deceptive about that?
Newsom even announced Friday that he would not rule out legal action against Elon Musk for posting or reporting AI-generated memes.
We’re sure Musk is quaking in his boots and the first lawsuits challenging California’s unconstitutional ban are already being drawn up.
California’s James Woods decided the best way to fight a ban on memes was with more memes:

We don’t know who created that meme, but Wood just shared it with his more than 4 million followers on X. Could this be considered materially deceptive content? Who knows? It looks pretty accurate to us.

One of the best memes ever.
I read the executive order. It is a whole lot of nothing.
Only an idiot would think this man has the authority to do this to someone.

Seriously, is there any accommodation for a sense of humor?
What a pathetic, weak, weak man.

I almost sent this to a friend of mine but then I realised I was in the UK and could do jail time for it!
