It’s rarely put so plainly, but Peter is exactly correct on this episode: law enforcement, as a whole, constitutes a right wing political group that has been funded and elevated with enthusiastic bipartisan consensus.

Any Democrat who fails to understand this will fail to fix anything.

Conservatives in America define "pornography" as "any depiction of transgender people or queer people more generally," rather than as "explicit depictions of sex."

If you're looking for a good summary of that aspect of their war on freedom of speech, check out the new episode of 5-4.
This week’s episode is Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, where the Court jumped through hoops to let Texas’s anti-porn law survive, all while creating a path for crackdowns on LGBT content.
