Nadine Strossen, former ACLU President (1991-2008) … among MANY other incredible credentials, talking about the opposite impact censorship or impugning others has on changing a viewpoint or even an abhorrent perspective!
I wrote about why you should watch the video of #CharlieKirk getting shot. -> open.substack.com/pub/tonclay13/…
In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, in this episode of Discourse Lab, Anthony and Clay dive into the tough questions surrounding why (shitty) people do what they do. We don’t have all the answers, but moral conviction is a layer of analysis of the problem.
This betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the USA. Putting people in prison for speech would make things FAR worse.

This should be the event that is the tipping point that ends the woke progressive leftist movement. All centrists, left of center, and mainstream democrats should not just condemn this murder but the entire Left as lost lunatic losers.
This is perhaps the most important thing for people to understand right now, and it’s so simple. Yet somehow people get this wrong.

This is such a dark, dark day for America. RIP Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk’s speech is not the cause of his untimely demise. The person who shot him in broad daylight is to blame.

I went on @anthony_rispo and @_NotYourRealDad’s @TheDiscourseLab podcast to talk neoliberalism, fascism, and beyond - and to do a little intellectual exercise: make a left case for Trump, and a MAGA case for Mamdani. Listen here: discourselab.substack.com/p/nikos-mohamm…
If you abandon your principles just because others are unprincipled, you were never principled in the first place.

Abundance works and Austin is ground zero. You can literally just build more housing.
Banning flag burning is a blasphemy law.
Our guest @itsmikeluso thinks the media is biased against Trump on immigration. What do you think? #Trump #immigrant #immigration #CNN #Obama #Bush #Biden
Read the First Amendment carefully: it doesn’t say “Americans may speak.” It says “Congress shall make no law…” Every constitutional “right” is really a prohibition: Government, keep your hands off. Free speech, property, due process—they’re yours already.
They can’t put you in jail in America for burning an LGBTQ flag

I am a veteran and a patriot. I detest flag burning ALMOST without exception. Ironically, this is the only context in which I fully support it. Freedom of expression is THE most important right we have. Hats off to this man.

It is every American’s right to burn an American flag (that they own) if they so choose. This is stupid, anti-American, and unconstitutional.
