It's one thing to criticize and condemn statements that cross a line of hate or indecency - or even for people, on their own, to disassociate from that person. It's entirely another for the government to punish a person for that speech, however offensive it may be, in violation of the 1A.

“What’s the benefit for 🇺🇸 in sending $20 BILLION to Argentina?”🤔

Trump says he just really likes their philosophy and will only send the $20 Billion if his pal Milei wins.

Imagine not being able to see this blatant corruption for what it is. (While our farmers struggle)

Wild that it’s getting very little coverage that Trump blamed Biden for FBI agents in the J6 crowd when Biden wasn’t President yet. Trump’s cognitive decline is and has always been far more severe than Biden’s ever was.

BREAKING: Major clashes in southeast Chicago this pm.

DHS agents who crashed a car had eggs thrown at them. According to ABC7, they then fired pepper balls at local residents. It’s now a scene of flying rocks & tear gas.

Chicago was never a war zone. But Trump’s militia is turning it into one.

We wouldn’t have the Star Wars books we have without Carol Titelman and Lucy Wilson getting it started and keeping it running when it mattered the most in the early years.

Random fun fact of the day - women are the reason #StarWars #publishing exists. And the reason it has been so successful that it could endure as it has for so many decades.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

Spooky Leia🇵🇷🏳‍⚧ @madamephosphorus.bsky.social · 1d

I genuinely pity people who think keeping Kylo Ren evil was a good idea. It was set up since The Force Awakens that Leia would be the one to save him down the line.

Keeping him evil and killing him evil is a fundamental betrayal of the franchise's core themes of redemption and forgiveness.
