Your regular reminder that §230 protects YOU, the person reading this post, from being sued for reposting things just as much as it protects "Big Tech" from things that still wouldn't be a viable cause of action because your problem is not with §230, it's with the first amendment

“You gotta get me out of here, man.” “Relax, Monty, I’m working on it.” “You talk to my lawyer?” “Yeah, the cops don’t have shit.” “Okay, good. How’s Theresa?” “Fine, her mom’s staying with her.” “Thanks for all this, Frankie.” “Hey, that’s what cousins are for.”

A king is just a person in a funny hat we all agree to obey. Enough of us don’t obey, it’s just a person in a funny hat. The hat itself has no power. Nor the person. Never actually did.

Do people not understand what’s happening with the Eric Adams thing? The memo instructing the prosecution to be dropped explicitly said it was because he was carrying out the president’s agenda. It was “you’re working for me, so we’re letting you go.” It was an explicitly corrupt bargain

I remember when Obama mildly criticized Fox News, the entire journalism world -- hey there, @jaketapper.bsky.social -- rose to its defense. Now Trump is excluding the AP from briefings & all the other media quislings are lining up for their slop without a word of protest.

Chad’s right. Yes, most of the stuff said about the DOGE kids is likely protected by the First Amendment, even if “edgy.” But your belief that a USAO won’t charge you with a federal crime for “edgy” stuff is premised on normal times, not this shitshow and not with the hack in charge of the DC USAO.

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.
