President Biden is right. Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech. It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion. That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Maybe this person was an "illegal alien criminal" with "gang ties." But how can we trust this when he's mauled by masked unidentified agents & the admin has a record of wrongly sending other Venezuelans to torture prisons using same rationale? Process matters in a free country.

Seriously, what the fuck are these people talking about? You don't even have to read a history book. Just skim the Declaration of Independence (which apparently JD Vance takes issue with), or the Constitution, or the Gettysburg Address, or literally any of the inscriptions on

I'm just incredibly sad for his family and his young kids, genuinely shaken about where this country is headed, and praying that we can find a way to walk ourselves back from the brink. We all have agency here. We all have the ability to choose our words carefully even as we

Instead of pointing the finger at the other political side, we should turn our attention to the tech companies who make billions off our hate and rage. They literally engineer our emotions to fill their pockets and fulfill their anti-social aspirations of power and domination.

Sotomayor: Every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalize free speech in some way, I think to myself, that law school failed.

Wait. Now it’s okay that the government demands that a tech company delete something? If memory serves, just a short time ago this very action was described in the most heated terms (and not entirely without reason) as a totalitarian violation of the right to free speech.

The rule of law means that civilians who commit crimes are prosecuted in courts of law with benefit of due process. Extrajudicial executions in international waters are an affront to our Constitution and the law of nations. It isn’t national defense. It’s wrong and criminal.

NEW: ProPublica investigates the Chicago raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged; - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
