Even if the goal is noble, letting the government define "hate speech" risks turning dissent into a crime.
The power to ban words is the power to ban ideas.
I never want the government deciding which thoughts are acceptable, or which are not.

Nine ways by which one may share in the guilt of another’s sin:
By counsel
By command

Stop saying governments "give" or "take away" rights. Rights aren’t gifts... they exist **before any government**.
Officials can recognize or violate them, but treating rights like handouts is how we end up losing them. Words matter!

Nice thing about living in times like these, I always wondered, "What would I do if I were alive during a Revolution like in France?"
Now I know the answer is, "Get up and go to work. Maybe buy a shirt on Etsy."

I support the US garment industry. I don't believe in making life harder for immigrants or erecting blanket tariffs. So how can we reshore some of our US garment manufacturing without xenophobia or protectionism? Here's my view. 🧵

Unsubscribed from all my Southwest Airlines emails. Since there is no longer anything special about them, they will no longer be my goto.
I've been flying Southwest exclusively for over THIRTY YEARS (literally, I checked). Crazy to me they are just throwing that away but, $$$$$$ I guess
