This lawsuit by FIRE against Texas A&M’s aggressively stupid and lawless “drag ban” is swift, well-written, and absolutely right. Texas A&M’s ban is Trumpian in the sense of being obviously lawless by people who sneer at the rule of law.

Fantastic work from @adamsteinbaugh.bsky.social, @jdzeman.bsky.social, and @jtmorristx.bsky.social to swiftly defend the First Amendment rights of Texas students after the Texas A&M University System abruptly banned drag performances on its 11 campuses last week.

I'd love to see some t-shirts:
Fuck the Texas A&M Regents
403 US 15 (1971)
(For the non-lawyers, that is Cohen v. California, aka, the Fuck the Draft case)
I know we have a limited window where that is remains true, but it might be fun.
No comment on their advocacy.
