The Speak Freely Show

Know your rights

What to say, and when to say nothing

These are educational and not legal advice — every graphic prints the sources it was built from, so you can check it yourself before you act on it.

Be ready

Water, power, and the first seventy-two hours

Built from Ready.gov, FEMA, the CDC, the EPA and the Red Cross. General guidance — follow your local emergency officials over anything printed on a graphic.

Take action

Being counted takes about ninety seconds

The script for calling a representative, and the three questions to ask before a data centre gets its vote. Both are things one person can do in an afternoon.

Know your history

The party line is younger than you think

Two arguments that feel permanent and are not. Dates and sources on both — history, not opinion.

Know the facts

What changed, and what it costs you

The stories the show keeps returning to, each reduced to eight checkable facts. Every figure is sourced on the graphic; the AI ones draw from the labs’ own published reports.

Data centres and your bill

The data centre, and the bill it sends you

Four graphics on what these buildings hold, who they serve, what they do to a power bill, and which emissions figure to ask for by name. Built from IEA, PJM, its own market monitor, IEEFA, NRDC, Uptime Institute and Guardian reporting — every figure is dated on the graphic, because these numbers move.

How we got here

Where the rules came from, and who wrote them

Background, not argument: how American industry grew and what it did to a paycheck, and where DEI began and what its rollback actually touches. Both print their sources and mark where reasonable people disagree.

Using these

Free to share. Please check them.

Take them, print them, hand them out, put them on a noticeboard. A credit to the studio is welcome and not required. They are educational and not legal advice, rules vary by state, and phone numbers and procedures change — every graphic names its sources so you can confirm before you act.
