I was detained by Spanish police for two hours today in Madrid. Taken to the police station, fingerprinted, treated like a criminal because I showed up at the public square to have peaceful conversations about how children are being harmed. Spain has done nothing to stop giving kids puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. While sitting at the station with criminals in handcuffs, I was able to contact @lukomski_sebito at @hazteoir using my Apple Watch, after my phones had been taken. These two beautiful lawyers dropped everything and showed up at the police station soon after. Now we’re back in the same public square. at Puerta del Sol. To the political authorities in Spain — please start protecting children in your magnificent country from this unscientific craze which is sterilizing children and causing grievous, irreversible harm.

Jordan Peterson made a profound point on Chris Williamson’s podcast. When God dies, a lot of unexpected things die with Him, including science. Science isn’t some purely neutral, secular tool. It rests on deeply religious assumptions: that truth exists, that it’s knowable, that pursuing it is good, and that the universe makes sense. These aren’t scientific claims, they’re metaphysical, rooted in a religious worldview. The universities themselves grew out of monasteries. Without that deeper foundation, science eventually stops being about truth and becomes just another tool for power, ideology, or convenience. You lose the reason to be honest when the data gets inconvenient. Do you think science can survive long-term without any belief in objective truth or a higher moral order?

Wow

China has introduced strict new regulations for online influencers. Under the new rules, content creators must possess a relevant university degree or professional certification before they can discuss specialized topics such as medicine, finance, education, law, or health. The policy, issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China, aims to curb misinformation and raise the overall quality of online content. Influencers wishing to cover these subjects on platforms like Douyin, Weibo, and Bilibili are now required to submit proof of their qualifications. Platforms are responsible for verifying credentials and removing any non-compliant content. Violators face significant penalties, including fines of up to 100,000 yuan (approximately $14,000), account suspension, or permanent bans. While supporters view the measure as a necessary step to protect the public from misleading or harmful advice, critics argue that it could restrict free expression and limit diverse voices online. The regulation reflects China’s broader effort to tighten control over digital content and establish higher standards of credibility in the influencer economy.

I’ll have the video up as soon as I can. In Spain, it is legal to record police officers. You do not need their consent. However, as soon as the police arrived, one of them moved my camera and said I couldn’t record. I know my rights, so I moved it back. Then he turned it off, so I turned it back on. This happened a few times, so I’ve lost some video footage, but what they don’t know is my audio continued to record the entire time. I will post the whole video, and the uninterrupted audio later tonight. Again, it is legal to record police, but you cannot publish their faces, with exceptions. I would argue this qualifies as an exception, but I’ll be a good hombre, a good Cartelito Chris, and I’ll figure out how to blur their faces. After sitting in the police station for 2 hours, and after my lawyers arrived courtesy of @hazteoir, they released me with a fine. That’s what I was told, at least. However, this ticket has no fine on it. Their excuse is that I had a tripod. I set it up by a pole, out of everyone’s way. I had only been there for a few minutes. I had 50 yards of open space on either side of me, AND I OFFERED TO JUST HOLD IT IN MY HANDS. Problem solved. Or should have been. Once again, police have violated my rights just to get rid of me. I’m told a pro-Palestine rally went on in the same public square while I was being held at the police station.

I have just been arrested by the police in Madrid, Spain. My phone and passport have been seized but I had a second phone in my pocket so I’m writing this from the back of the police car. I was at Puerta del Sol for just 5 minutes. Police told me I cannot have conversations in the public square. I researched the law and spoke with a lawyer and.they are wrong.

If the government will force you to accept men as women, they can force you to accept anything. What’s next?
