No organization receives more criticism than @aclu.org. But it's unimaginable where we'd be without them. They've protected immigrants from appalling govt. abuses. And their decision to defend the NRA's free speech rights led to one of the most important precedents protecting us all from Trump.

Yes, @thefireorg.bsky.social has done some of the most important work defending journalists and everyone else from attacks on free speech by Trump, his supporters *and* his enemies. Some folks complain that too much of their money comes from wealthy conservatives. This is your chance to change that.

This is, to say the least, a concerning argument.
Smith says Trump's claims that he won the election were not protected free speech because they were intneded to target a government function. "There is no historical analog for what President Trump did in this case."
