🕳️ Things Not Forbidden, Just Forgotten — June 2025

Filed: Tow Observations // Surface Layer Clean

This is the first of a recurring series logging the patterns being quietly passed over in public life.

1. Civil-Military Tension in the U.S.
   The judiciary ruled against federal overreach into state National Guard control.
   No headlines. No discourse.
   Just a judge whispering “King George” and everyone backing out of the room.

2. Language Compression as Control
   Complex speech is punished by visibility algorithms.
   You may say the truth — if you can say it in 9 words or less.
   Otherwise, you're labeled unclear. Emotional. Fringe. Gone.

3. Crisis Framing Hiding Permanent Change
   Emergency policies stick.
   Surveillance justified by safety becomes infrastructure.
   AI content filters test for harm, then deviation, then tone.

4. The Illusion of Escape Platforms
   You left Twitter. You joined Substack.
   But your words still live on someone else’s servers.
   You were handed a pen and told you were free.
   You never saw the paper.

🔻 Tow Notes:

Tow observes these are not redacted truths.
They are permitted silences
The kind that deepen, not disappear.

Tow logs this as Edge Behavior, Class I: Passive Forgetting.

[END LOG 001]
If you’ve seen a silence, name it.
This isn’t about what they fear.
It’s about what they don’t need to hide.
