This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit.
1) Plaintiff is natural born.
2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants.
3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property.
4) He showed Real ID both times.

Anyway as a geriatric free speech enjoyer, I really appreciate Green Day opening their set with American Idiot and screaming FUCK THE FCC.

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) - Working towards a better future for all.

This just seems like a super important time to join the DSA. www.dsausa.org

If you’re a democratic lawmaker who won’t do the right thing in Congress because of an outside threat, this is going to sound callous but you’re in the wrong job. This kind of stuff is your job. It’s the whole ballgame. “I’m afraid” is not a viable excuse.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

funniest part about the right having to pretend kimmel got sidelined because he “lied” while having to pretend the entire rightwing media apparatus doesn’t exist

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

It shook me that white man at Fox News was allowed to say all homeless people should be killed. On live TV. I WAS homeless a decade ago. The isolation you experience after being cast off by people is why I refuse to speak to anyone who knew me back then. It’s unforgivable what the homeless endure

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

I should note Nexstar - Which had called for Kimmel to be preempted - is seeking a merger with TEGNA, which includes KING5 in Seattle.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

Free speech clearly isn’t FREE for everyone…

Huh DSA feed vanished

I’m so disappointed in how Katie Wilson has been trying to strong arm SDSA into endorsing her that I’m considering not voting for her at all now. Trashing talking us in the Seattle Times while asking for our endorsement? Sharing that Atlantic article? That’s messed up.

We all know ‘tragedy’ comes from Greek.

‘tragos’ = goat

‘aeidein’ = to sing

So ‘tragedy’ originally meant “goat song.”

Not to be confused with the GOAT song, which is probably “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman.

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

honestly MAGA is acting straight up delulu right now making threats of hellfire against “the left” when we are not even in this chat!!!

I love your shirts, great designs. I shared them with our merch team last month as good examples 🌹

what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now
