So if someone "doesn't need it?" Let them have it anyway

There is a simple and basic truth here which is that this is not how legitimate law enforcement agencies in a democratic nation state behave.
It’s simple and basic, so much so that it bears repeating again and again lest it slip away through the open Overton window.

I mean if even the most milquetoast, bland, inoffensive things can get censored…you might as well be bold and make something brutally honest and weird. What’s the point in compromising, they aren’t happy with compromises either. Just make some weird shit.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.
His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.
Now he is tweeting in support of me.
This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.
