FIRE is entitled to do and say what it wants, but its depiction of itself as an independent protector of “individual rights and expression” is deceptive.

Here is our story, from Monday

Can a Group Allied With the Right Defend the 1st Amendment for All? — Assigned
FIRE, a product of the “academic freedom” campaign, wants to protect free speech for everyone. Yet its stances show deference to religious views and a persistent anti-queer strain.

FIRE has invested a lot of time lately trying to sand off the hardest right-wing edges of its public image. Yet its casework still demonstrates that ideology drives its agenda in good part, as does its allegiance to its long-time donor base, like the Charles Koch funded Stand Together Trust.

On top of what breaks they already get.
Republicans gave $132 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% in 2027.

With that money, we could have extended ACA tax credits for over 20 million people next year and still have $100 billion left over.

Republicans voted for a trillion dollars in tax breaks for the 1%, but they couldn't vote to protect 20 million Americans from seeing a doubling — on average — of their health care premiums.

Pathetic.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?
