Christopher Hitchens - Free Speech
YouTube video by hitch archive

Since the First Amendment is again a hot topic, I'll gift everyone this Christopher Hitchens banger that remains, imo, the single greatest defense of free speech in modern history. He must be, unfortunately, rolling in his grave.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.
Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

We’re closing in on two decades of Republicans telling you, in no uncertain terms, that they do not care about kids being shot dead. In schools, in movie theaters, at church, in the street. They. Do. Not. Care. But hey, at least they’re good at racism and destroying the economy, amirite.

Why impeach if conviction is unlikely? You impeach to build a public record, to make a public case. To call witnesses, to gather evidence, to demonstrate the lawlessness of the regime, and to build toward future consequences, up to and including prosecution and—yes—possible conviction.

They will do the same mindless, cowardly thing over and over until we get a real leadership turnover.
Significant statement from Jeffries and House Democratic leaders saying they will vote “present” on the motion to table Al Green’s resolution to impeach President Trump. They say they’re “laser-focused on fighting to lower the high cost of living” plus on health care and corruption.

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, any reporting on this? Or are you only concerned with the health of *former* Presidents?
I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.
Couple of things here:
1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently
2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"
3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"
4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you
