The political faction saying we must all have to log legal ID before speaking or accessing speech on the Internet,
and the political faction who believe transgenderism is a dangerous mental contagion that spreads by speech about transgenderism,

Age verification is deanonymization,
Deanonymization is censorship.
The Supreme Court is now taking away your right to anonymously *read* a form of speech. If speaking can mean that your readers have to subject themselves to potential consequences to read it, how can there be freedom of speech?

NEW: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court held that age verification for explicit sites is constitutional. The majority said it protects minors without violating free speech; dissenters warned it burdens adults’ rights and ignores First Amendment precedent.

We're not talking enough about how much the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department run by Dawanna Witt is collaborating with ICE. Arresting at Whipple, working with ICE to arrest legal observers, failing to trespass ICE when not welcome in hospitals and schools. Shame.

Christopher Nolan should have cast Helen of Troy the way the Greeks would have: by casting the most attractive young man in the company and giving him a really fuckable porcelain mask.
Having a WOMAN play Helen of Troy??? Talk about inaccurate. The Greeks would fucking riot.

Shit is nuts. This week I spoke to a crim. defense attorney from mpls who mostly does federal work. He said a client got arrested with 19 pounds of meth & an indictment was coming. Then the feds had to forgo the indictment because they don’t have the resources. Walking away from 19 pounds of meth!
They are running out of lawyers.
DM me? We used to get hundreds of highly qualified applicants for a single job posting. Good prosecutors are increasingly hesitant to work for this DOJ.

They could have stopped funding to DHS and ICE by forcing a shutdown.
But instead, they threw them a couple more weeks money to keep terrorizing citizens?

The funniest shit is that I feel like the huge turnout downtown is almost because of the cold not in spite of it. The fact that it’s -10 degrees out led to just more defiance, like thousands out there saying, it isn’t even that bad out.

Remember the video of that door busting ICE raid over the weekend? Not only was it done without a proper warrant, but the man they were looking for had checked in with ICE two weeks earlier. The chaos and violence is a performance.

This 100% goes for that copypasta that is circulating around right now telling people that "community leaders" want everyone to stay home on Saturday. Stop sharing it, you have no idea where it actually came from.
please stop copying and pasting any messages to spread any information if you aren’t personally verifying it’s accurate and what the source actually is, especially about saturday’s events. telling people to avoid downtown when you don’t know who is saying that isn’t helpful
