After October 7

What attached. What did not.

No new US citizen glorification crime attached. Bills are not statutes: H.R. 4795 passed the House on 3 September 2026 and is not law; H.R. 8476 was reported, has not passed the House, and is not law; Canada C-34 is first reading, not law. List growth is speech-adjacent. Official Title VI theory remains hostile environment / deliberate indifference.

The citizen-speech floor: the constitutional guarantees of free speech do not permit a State to forbid advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce it.
