Why does free speech have a “branding problem”?
Part of it is simple. Once an institution becomes ideologically one-sided, it stops needing free speech and starts seeing it as a threat.
That’s what I watched happen on campuses. A slow-motion train wreck.

"Not affected by success.
Not affected by failure.
On to the next play.
Never satisfied.
Playing to a standard, not the circumstances of the game...
First, you form your habits. Then your habits form you."
Elite leadership. Elite coaching.

Breaking Away (1979) is one of those small miracles that never gets talked about enough. A coming-of-age film with real heart, sharp writing, and a cast that feels completely lived-in. It’s funny, touching, and quietly profound.
I had a coworker, who served in the Navy, I asked him what he thought about the Coast Guard.
“He said he had the utmost respect for them — because they’re the only ones who go out when everyone else is coming in.
They go out to save the lives of people that God didn’t give enough sense to stay on shore.” 🤔 Kingtide-day
Eight months have passed since the Transtifa mob attacked the @TPUSA tabling event at UC Davis.
My gender critical signs were stolen and I was punched in the head.
Not a single person has been charged yet.
I’ve been told by the @YoloDA Office and @FBI investigators that they are making progress on the incident but I wonder if this played into last night’s violence at UC Berkeley.
A school “socially transitioned” her 12-year-old daughter in secret.
This wasn’t an impromptu decision made by one teacher. It was a deliberate, school-wide, policy-prescribed campaign of deception.
Don’t let anyone tell you this isn’t happening.

This answers the question “What were the 70s like?” better in two minutes than I could answer it with a thousand words. Quite likely the best thing you’ll see today. Just trust me.
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
