Jury acquits LA County ICE protester of assaulting a federal officer This is the first of dozens of similar cases in Los Angeles County to receive a jury trial in federal court.

This is my old office, and they just took an embarrassing loss when a jury acquitted a man of allegedly assaulting a federal ICE agent.

I’m guessing there are going to be other defendants now choosing to go to trial rather than plead.

No need for this to become normal. I would hope there are activists in Memphis willing to protest this as has been done elsewhere.

Cuomo's advisers reluctantly telling him he's picked up a celebrity endorsement.

Do not mock Supreme Leader Trump.

Supreme Leader Trump sensitive snowflake.

Supreme Leader Trump must be worshipped, revered and shown proper respect.

We will come after you.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Quiz: Who Said It? Trump Comedy Crackdown Chief Brendan Carr or CCP Head Censor Zhang Rongwen?

(and then all the quotes would be Carr)

It’s just unacceptable. People need to boycott Disney and their local Nexstar stations.

Kimmel, Kinzinger, and MAGA's State-Sponsored Cancel Culture ABC obeys in advance

Disney/ABC did not wait for the FCC hammer to fall — they chose, instead, to obey in advance.

But, even then, the corporate lackeys lacked the courage of their capitulation — failing to offer any explanation or defense of their surrender.

I would love to see someone make this happen

Kimmel, Kinzinger, and MAGA's State-Sponsored Cancel Culture ABC obeys in advance

Displaying its muscle-memory for cowardice, ABC caved to state threats of investigations, retaliation, and regulatory f*ckitude. It was yet another episode of corporate capitulation, in the vain hope that sacrificing free speech will make MAGA eat them last

The Texas Redistricting Fight Has Been the Testing Ground for the Trump Administration’s Latest Legal Strategy The administration has been testing a strategy of using the courts as leverage to force political outcomes. In Texas, the state’s leaders and conservative activists have been willing, if not eager,…

Texas AG Ken Paxton and Trump’s DOJ have moved to a “new level” of using the courts to change policy, said one legal expert.

Paxton is working to “challenge Texas’ own laws. There are no statutes that allow, or even anticipate, this behavior.”

Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

The whole idea pushed by conservatives that liberals are censorious and right-wingers are liberty-loving free-speech champions has always been bunk. Go back to McCarthyism. We're now seeing their true colors, with this cancel crusade that's using state power to suppress speech they don't favor.

Seems like a nice guy

FWIW freezing in terror is an interesting strategy.

So many prey animals do it that you just assume it must be adaptive in some way. How can a billion years of evolution be wrong?

Watching Netanyahu completely shit the bed while the Trump administration remains frozen like a deer in the headlights has been interesting, in the same way any disaster is.

Good for Charles.

"Britain gave President Donald Trump a welcome fit for the king he often pretends to be," writes Stephen Collinson | Analysis https://cnn.it/47NRoGr

Mmm, nice.

They know how to get what they want, they butter up Donald Trump and treat him like he is the king that he is trying to be.

Unacceptable

Let’s be clear: This is government censorship. The government is telling, through pressure, private corporations what they can and cannot say and air.

It is incredibly dangerous and is the beginning of the end of free speech in America.

The left is not going to win any states that Dems can’t win in. If you look elsewhere in the thread I suggested that the left focus on winning in blue states and that Dems stop blocking them.

We need to reform the constitution and it will take the left, normie liberals and normie republicans to do.

Disney is very vulnerable to public sentiment.

It is time to teach them that.

Nah, fuck that. We need to fight this.

For how long?

Activists need to protest Disney and Nexstar.

Blue states need to not get wobbly.

Kimmel deserves something like a temporary suspension and apology, but let’s not be stupid.

Brian Kilmeade wants to kill millions of homeless and got a slap on the wrist.
