"It’s the principle that Democrats are wholly unwilling to fight on the same playing field as Republicans. It’s that we seem forever doomed to be the party that allows the parliamentarian to shut down our entire agenda, while the Republicans won’t even let the US Constitution shut down theirs."

Today marks 11 years since the so-called referendum staged illegitimately in Crimea.

Russia must be fully held accountable for its violations of international law and its war of aggression.

The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind.

And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.

They use our laws & the constitution as a weapon against us & until we set them both aside, temporarily to get them out, they will continue to do this & will steal everything from us, including the country! Maybe this is the only way to end this fascism!

Whether you like or dislike what’s said at universities, free speech is at the core of our democracy, and protecting it should be one of the core missions of universities.

Which is why America needs a new Free Speech Movement, similar to the one that broke out on college campuses 61 years ago.
Why we need a new free speech movement
And why universities should sue the Trump regime for abridging the First Amendment rights of their institutions and their students
