#Trump is understandably mad about the indictments. But he can see the charges under the KKK Act as meant to honor his father.

The ONLY Reason Fox News and the white right is cheering Daniel Penny for killing Jordan Neely on a NYC subway is because Penny is white and he killed a Black man. Period.
Gotta hand it to the man, the guy delivers

I continue to be mystified by the sentiment that being a First Amendment advocate means *socially* tolerating people I find obnoxious or contemptible. I keep getting “what kind of free speech advocate blocks people?” The kind who doesn’t deal with assholes when not professionally compelled to do so. The First Amendment isn’t a hair shirt.
