See below. I recommend leaving feedback including the words "spineless" and "cowards" and "may you never know a moment of peace as you choke on your fear." But that's me.

So free speech is for when you’re a huge asshole and oppressive censorship is when people tell you you should not be an asshole 👍

The various "shut the fuck up" threads seem to have sparked a lot of questions/suggestions. Here are some answers. 1: If you're worried, go ahead and get contact information for lawyers now. ACLU, National Lawyers Guild, various state bar referral services, friends who are lawyers - ask around.

I am a trans and queer southerner who only in August 2023 had to leave because the place became untenable for existing as transgender. You're not the one ruining the meal. And people like you not pushing back on your bigot family members are why I had to leave my home you fucking asshole.

"We're going to outbreed the left. We're going to have 5 kids. We're going to fall into a debt and undereducate them. I will constantly fight with two of them because they come out as LBGT.

I used to think the key thing for parents like me was to be chill as your kids do things with gender and sexuality that you don't understand. Just be chill. But I actually now think the key thing is to work harder to understand. And then be not just chill, but aggressively supportive in the world.

A thing that might not be obvious about why Fast Car means so much to those of us who got to see Tracy Chapman’s rise is that getting out of our small towns was such a life or death motivation that giving it voice felt like a little bit of hope. …

If you are a college/university administrator, and you don't have a detailed, specific plan for dealing with online campaigns and targeted harassment, you are failing as a leader. And this means educating your Boards on how all this works, too. Lead, don't crumble. Because they'll come for you, too.
