The claim that there was no “self-censorship” in academia until the “illiberal left” came and destroyed “free speech” is not worthy of serious discussion. Speech has always been (self-) regulated, everywhere, and the debate has always been over who gets to define the regulations. pic.twitter.com/5GVCF8hjAa

Because 230(c)(2) doesn't incentivize them to remove any particular content or reward them for doing it; it immunizes sites that delete comments opposing racism in exactly the same way it immunizes sites that delete things they consider racist.

Republican leaders are inviting and inciting citizens against one another. It must be stopped and now. https://t.co/d2ZATGCLi2

You are a fool looking for attention. You don’t represent Jewish values. You preach hate for refugees, when your own ancestors came here as immigrants and refugees. Sit down and shut up. #RefugeesWelcome https://t.co/LUjIB2Dyu7

If you can sue me for getting an abortion, can I sue you for not getting the COVID vaccine?

I mean, as long as we’re litigating personal, legal medical choices.

I know that AI and ML don't actually work because I have spent five years patiently telling Twitter that I'm not interested in this every time they put some right wing asshole's name in "What's happening" or "Trending Topics" or whatever, and yet, those same names keep showing up

Ahhh.

Reading some hot nonsense is almost a comfort in the shitshow that is this week in U.S public policy.

And "give parents additional votes to cast on behalf of children because people with disabilities exist" is scalding nonsense.

“Rat out your neighbors’ personal medical decisions and the state will reward you with $10,000” sounds a hell of a lot more Soviet than most of the things Republicans these days denounce as “communism."

Not pro-life. Pro forced birth. That’s the correct terminology for anyone who discards the life, health, mental well-being, survival and freedom of the living… for the unborn. Who they will then equally disregard the human rights of once born.

Abortion should only be permitted in cases of rape, incest, and when the woman chooses it.

I'm already dreading the 9/11 anniversary coverage, but I'm damned if I'll watch Fox's.

I do not understand the fixation among some powerful people in politics and media constantly seeking out ways to reward a man who helped cover up the murder of a 16 year old boy. It’s shameful.

Laquan McDonald’s life mattered. The Senate should vote NO on Emanuel’s confirmation. https://t.co/2GpsFxiCPK

The solution to police misconduct is to punish police misconduct, not to say "cops are bad so we should have 10 percent fewer cops still doing all this misconduct." https://t.co/id5FqQtVpO

Inject this into my veins. Supporters of qualified immunity are saying that police need to be able to violate your rights in order to do their jobs. You cannot divorce the two. The Founders are rolling in their graves. https://t.co/BbGSRTEj2X

I am going to need y'all to stop saying we're fucked, because that is what they want you to think. They want us to lay down and die. We need to stand up and fight.

lotta people who gave us crocodile tears over the future treatment of afghan girls and women due to our "abandonment" can't wait to get them some of that $10K 'bortion bounty

Imagine the absolute (and justified) freakout if a blue state passed a law that paid any citizen $10,000 & covered their legal fees for suing any person they saw without a mask. Every Republican would be screaming about totalitarianism.

That's what Texas has done - but to women.
