The fact that the Trump administration seeks to deport Mahmoud Khalil solely on account of his beliefs shows what a lie their rhetoric about "free speech" was.

Remember how Elon Musk claimed he bought Twitter for "free speech," then immediately banned us while reinstating Nazis?

As we wrote in 2017, this is not a dialogue.

They intend to force their agenda on us. That’s what all the guns are for, what the police and drones and surveillance cameras are for, what the FBI and CIA and NSA are for, what all those laws and courts and executive orders are for.

A dialogue—from which some of the participants can be deported at any time? A dialogue—in which one side keeps disappearing the other side? A dialogue—in which a few people own all the networks and platforms?

We’re not in a dialogue. We’re in a power struggle. They hope that we won’t realize this until it’s too late.

If we succeed in blocking their hideous plans, they will accuse us of breaking off dialogue, of violating their free speech. They will try to lure us back into conversation, playing for time until they need no more stratagems to keep us passive while they establish tyranny.

If freedom is important to you—if you care about all the people marked for death and deportation—don't just talk. Act.

This Is Not a Dialogue

You’re not in a dialogue—you’re in a power struggle. How the rhetoric of free speech is leveraged to create space for the far right to organize violent actions, and how else to understand freedom.

Don’t trust anything that Nazi has to say.
Just incredible that we're dealing with Comey redux. "He didn't commit a crime, but let me take a moment here to shit all over him and try to destroy his re-election campaign." Prosecutors charge or they don't charge. It was grotesquely unethical for Hur to slime Biden on his way out the door.
A perfect end to the day

I know Mastodons are different from Mammoths but are they different from citrus fruit?

Woolly Mammoths and Mammoth Oranges combine forces to promote legendary California fast food and SCIENCE all in one crazy event that is cooler than the last Ice Age! Don’t sit around the house waiting for some boffins to genetically engineer you back from the dead… come to Chowchilla for a Smash Burger Paleolithic Smash-Up 2.5 million years in the making!

Who do I talk to about getting #WeirdAl a Mark Twain Prize and the Kennedy Center Honorific? Because he deserves both.
