Seriously, it legitimately DOES NOT MATTER how intellectually honest or brilliant or consistent YOU are. THEY will not be. They have no intention of ever being intellectually consistent. All you ever do by trying to graft a principle onto their bigotry is legitimize it legally.
They need to conjure a threat organized like the Communist Party in the Soviet era to justify a return to the Red Scare they desperately want to enact.

The court is right — the government can't condition benefits on censorship it can't achieve directly.
That goes for PBS, but it also goes for Brendan Carr shaking down broadcast licensees, Hegseth denying access to reporters that don't follow his unconstitutional rules, and more.

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a remake of Woody Guthrie’s classic protest song “All You Fascists Bound to Lose,” updated to fit the current moment and urge action ahead of the midterms.
You have to listen to this.
And yet we've flipped 30 state seats, Congressional Dems standing up & showing spine, record numbers of GOP resigning from congress, fewer uncontested seats across the board, progressives challenging incumbents, history of protest. The joy of knowing how much Trump hates mockery and resistance.
I canceled my subscription last time they went down this road. I'm just so damn sorry. Nobody deserves this treatment.
AMERICA TODAY: millions of people pretending the President of the United States isn’t suffering from acute mental decline and some weird flesh-eating thing, that he doesn’t come across completely unhinged in every interaction, or that he isn’t barreling the nation into financial ruin.
Finally, people who follow politics know that Zohran Mamdani won over a lot of frustrated college grads in NYC last fall. But I’m not sure people appreciate quite how big that margin was. For college grads under 30, Mamdani won 84%! 10/
