    Are people allowed to post tweets from proven propaganda sites that have led to acts of domestic terrorism?

    If you just said "x.com", you'd be right too.

    That wants me to join and I don't wanna.

    What point is it supposed to be making in this exchange?

    Get a pen and paper, this lesson is for free. Unless the government is at your door making you log out, your free speech is not being impugned

    As for the link, if a website has be proven to spread disinformation leading to bomb threats, then that crosses over from free speech to hate speech and or lying. I can't accuse you being a pedophile and then if people SWAT you, say free speech. Is that too hard for your pedophile brain to comprehend.

    The N word is free speech too, technically. You are defending a post putting out a lie intended to help Trump win, despite the fact it was bound to create stochastic terror in Springfield. You defending your post is, to me, the equivalent of you defending your right to yell the N word in public, or any other thing intended to promote violence.

    THAT is fascism. Fascists revel in lies, terror, and othering.

    Following up…how and why did a tweet from libsofTikTok come to your attention? I poke around twitter, and the algo never points me toward that account. Instead, the algo points me to media criticism from the left, and never Trump Republicans, and Josh Marshall adjacent accounts. But not libsofTikTok.

    In my opinion, I think we be seeing the early signs of the Right eating themselves, even among the crazies.

    Trump was always going to burn down the party from within I he couldn't win. This will get worse, much worse.

    Like those "don't say gay" laws, book bans, etc. Why is it the "free speech" Trumpists never get upset about those violations of free speech?

    Yeah, you can never be too pure for the purists. The end result of a religious-based rightward shift ends with a fundamentalist regime if it doesn't implode first.

    The part of Team Harris that brings me the most, let’s say guilty pleasure, is their constant tweaking of the NYT, Axios, and the rest by just…ignoring them.

    I use this thread to dump little items rather than discuss them, but maybe this tweet should go in a bigger thread, for more discussion. Oh well.

    This ad is an example of new approaches to hit various micro targets. This ad, for example, seems explicitly aimed at Hispanics in the Philly area. With the collapse of a shared pop culture in the US, paid campaigning is changing at a dramatic pace.

    IMO, the difference between Harris in 2019 and today is that she understands the value in just moving one’s positions on issues to the fattest, highest part of the ideological bell curve within the Democratic coalition. Biden’s ideological shifts can best be understood that way. He follows ideologically, and then leads by his actions.

    Biden is and has been all in on how the new Democratic coalition as multi racial.

    This seems like one for you nerds. Is this a Dune reference?
