The law on universities and free speech prevents speakers from being *disinvited after they have been invited*. It does not require universities to provide a platform to whoever demands one.
Let's not mince words: the threat to cut funding to every university who disagrees with them is fascist.

This is pretty menacing.
Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students."
When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

This is Trump trying to push people towards armed resistance, at which point he can justify labelling them as insurgents and bring in the army.

This is what they have been preaching at MAGA churches for years, pastors invoking Trump as a prophet and king, indoctrinating the cult. This is the extent of MAGA "Christianity", they've successfully removed Christ and why they now openly attack Catholics and other denominations.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

If he had said "You should confront women about <subject people are getting violently angry about>, my followers who are more likely to be violently angry about <subject>", there wouldn't be any "Is he? Isn't he?" He'd be rightly called what he is: a hate monger.

Let's be clear: He called on his followers to "confront" trans women in female spaces. We know exactly what he means by that, and we also have lots of evidence that the people this endangers most is cisgender women- since the morons can't always tell and they just guess (e.g, short hair).

"Is he-" yes. He's a right wing grifter and a danger to anyone around him that looks like an easy target to hurl abuse at for the sake of enlarging his platform.
