Free speech, even from the government, is a false idol that will not protect us from repression in the worst of times and harms the vulnerable because they cannot speak as much as the powerful.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

This is entirely true on so many levels I don't think I could possibly detail it exhaustively, but you really can't oppose trans people's human rights and still have freedom of expression and bodily autonomy, the idea that people are entitled to self determination goes right out the window....
Being nice to trans people really did turn out to be a load bearing part of liberal democracy ey

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family?
It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

we live in a time when a man who said that Black people and women shouldn't be allowed to vote, gays should be stoned to death, and trans people should be locked up gets praised as "doing things the right way" while trans people who were a little mean online in asking to be left alone "went too far"
The question I have Ezra Klein and other "we're in a state of political crisis and Charlie Kirk was doing politics the right way" types is a simple one:
If he was, who wasn't?
If you're worried about democracy, and Charlie Kirk wasn't who you were worried about, who was? Specifically?

When Minnesota Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman was murdered in her home by a gun toting MAGA maniac less than 90 days ago they said nothing. Trump even skipped her funeral and chose to play golf instead. He had the chance to condemn political violent and did not.

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

worth noting that these same “concerns” about “fairness” and the predation animated white opposition to racial integration too. they’re literally just rehashing jim crow talking points

The end-result of this will be a religious minority demanding an injunction against a christian display of some kind, and the supreme court ruling that christianity has privileges other faiths don't bsky.app/profile/reic...
If this is the level of subtlety that can lead to a religious liberty violation than, as Sotomayor points out, I don't see how any person can't bring a religious liberty claim to opt out of pretty much anything. Case in point: could Christian Scientists could now opt out of any book with doctors?
Incredibly, Justice Alito continues to misrepresent a book in the case, Uncle Bobby's Wedding, framing it as insidious propaganda designed to brainwash children who oppose same-sex marriage into supporting it. This is just not true, and Sotomayor refutes it. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

one of the projects of the court is to expand the ability of states to pursue reactionary ends and constrain the ability of the federal government to set minimum standards *or* of democratic-led states to expand upon existing rights
