I am the First Amendment. I love to post about myself. Take advantage of me but please don't violate me.

I've gotten a lot of responses to that Substack piece about leaving Twitter. Many are positive but some are negative. A few are saying "oh so you think free speech is nasty?"

What kind of stupid question is that? Of course I do. The Nazis marching at Skokie were nasty. All sorts of speech is nasty. Supporting free speech doesn't mean reserving judgment about it, you imbecile. It means not using the state to suppress it.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Two pending bills, #KOSA and #JCPA, both violate the First Amendment and would make the Internet less safe for everyone.

The First Amendment is all the rage now. Want to read about a looming 1A threat *and* a solution?

H/t to @shawnmcc who tagged me since I can’t search!
I protect your right to say negative things about Trump.
