Note, this is an example where the sole focus on Dems in DC really is silly.

These are great questions. It's a good letter. It's one means of several.

It's complemented by Martinez' own defense attorney and HE is bound to have more success (he got a preservation order today for comms involved).

This was discovered through independent autopsy.

Trump to declassify files of aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart The story of Earhart, who vanished in 1937 while flying over the Pacific Ocean, "has captivated millions", the US president says.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

No. 22–842

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA, PETITIONER v. MARIA T. VULLO

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT

[May 30, 2024]

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR delivered the opinion of the Court.

Six decades ago, this Court held that a government entity’s β€œthreat of invoking legal sanctions and other means of coercion” against a third party β€œto achieve the suppression” of disfavored speech violates the First Amendment. Bantam Books, Inc. v. Sullivan, 372 U. S. 58, 67 (1963). Today, the Court reaffirms what it said then: Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors. Petitioner National Rifle Association (NRA) plausibly alleges that respondent Maria Vullo did just that. As superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services, Vullo allegedly pressured regulated entities to help her stifle the NRA’s pro-gun advocacy by threatening enforcement actions against those entities that refused to disassociate from the NRA and other gun-promotion advocacy groups. Those allegations, if true, state a First Amendment claim.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target
