Student: Will I be missing anything important today in class? I can’t make it. NOAP. Not a thing. Other than the balloon animals, Wednesdays are “unimportant information” days.

The attack on Jimmy Kimmel is insane - but this is not “the most straightforward attack on free speech from state actors”. We’ve spent the last two years attacking, silencing, condemning, threatening and deporting people for their speech (anti-genocide, pro-Palestine). All

Historian here, Happy Constitution day! Don’t let the Bill of Rights, a term coined by the framer of the 14th amendment John Bingham, die. And a small edit: the second amendment, incorrectly interpreted by an extremist majority in the Supreme Court, is killing us.

This is not about free speech "absolutism." This is not a tough case. The Trump administration is commanding that broadcasters broadcast only administration-approved speech on pain of government retaliation if they don't do as commanded.
