I can’t believe that Republicans are justifying the killing of Renee Good, pre-empting any official investigation (and not allowing state authorities to see the evidence). If a conservative had been killed under the same circumstances, Republicans would be decrying the death. Up is down.

5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.
