I expect Trump to be terrible on free speech, which is one the many reasons why I didn't want him elected.
Want I don't want, is my own side to be terrible on speech which is why I've been so vocal when my side fails.
I hate to keep harping on this, but has any Harper's letter signatory mentioned this article? Has anyone who works at FIRE commented on it?

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The article cited as not being "commented on" by FIRE highlights the NewsGuard v FTC case, which is actually being litigated by FIRE against the Trump administration.

There sure is a big difference between people who call themselves Christians, and people who try to live their life in accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
This strikes me as stupid, but I could be wrong. Won't people just buy the cheap tickets and turn around and sell them at market rates? How would one assure that the tickets are bought by working people who intend to see the live sporting event that they've been missing out on?
I've been a NYT subscriber for many years. Despite setbacks, they continue to do real journalism from time to time.
I have just witnessed Hollywood's butchering of one of the greatest stories in western literature.
The woke left cast Kermit the Frog as Capt. Smollett! Anyone who pays to see Muppet Treasure Island is an enemy of Western Civilization.

When music brings people together… One lone piper from Scotland and Boston’s finest bucket-drum maestro somehow created the collaboration nobody knew they needed 🥹

I expect a certain amount of hypocrisy from partisans on both sides. However, seeing right-wingers flip hard on gun rights is really doing a number on my brain.
I love this site. Guy deny being a racist, then goes on to say some super-racist shit.

I'd be really interested to hear from a pro-ICE person who thinks Good's killing was unjustified or anti-ICE person who thinks it was justified.
It's like Kant's on good will. The only people you know are acting from it, are the ones who's biases point the other direction.
Hey, @NYTGames
"Abattoir"
Season 3 of "The Simpsons" taught me this word. Put it in the Bee.
I feel like my atheism is my most unbiased position on something that really matters to me.
It's a position that I would love to be false. It would be in my best interest to be false (I think).
However, every counter-argument to the athiest position is absolute garbage.
The level of pride I feel for the cool things my ancestors did will be the same as the level of guilt I feel for the crappy things they did.
M4L are being too woke with this one. A fairly innocuous civics assignment gets misunderstood and then blown into a full-on hysterical freak out.
🚨OUTRAGEOUS: A teenage girl in Middleton, WI was ordered to write her full name on a square in the high school hallway and publicly declare herself as Republican, Democrat, or Independent.
She refused at first—because she had just overheard other students pointing at the “red” squares and sneering: “all those people are N@zis.”
She told the history teacher she was afraid. She explained what she’d heard.
The teacher dismissed her and ordered her to participate anyway.
She was described as shaking after being forced to “out herself” politically in front of peers.
This is intimidation, not education. This is what happens when schools trade neutrality for activism.

Those who point out falsehoods on their own side are assumed to be working for the enemy, because our hunter-gatherer brains struggle to comprehend that someone could genuinely care about the truth more than any tribe. This makes political movements hard to self-correct.
