Bill Moyers died today. At @theMRC’s 2004 DisHonors Awards, he won the “I Hate You #!*#! Conservatives Award” for his condescending rant on PBS denouncing people who wore flag pins:
“I decided to put on my flag pin tonight -- first time. Until now I haven’t thought it necessary to display a little metallic icon of patriotism for everyone to see....I put it on to take it back. The flag’s been hijacked and turned into a logo – the trademark of a monopoly on patriotism....More galling than anything are all those moralistic ideologues in Washington sporting the flag in their lapels while writing books and running Web sites and publishing magazines attacking dissenters as un-American....I put it on to remind myself that not every patriot thinks we should do to the people of Baghdad what bin Laden did to us.” (Moyers on PBS’s Now, February 28, 2003)
Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, reacting to Senator Padilla being handcuffed and forcibly removed from Kristi Noem’s press conference:
“I’ve seen that one clip. It’s horrible. It is shocking at every level. It’s not the America I know.”

This is what will make Florida properties uninsurable; which will make them unable to mortgage; which will make them hard to sell; which will crash property values — just as Freddie Mac predicted years ago.

I represented a venue in the DOJ investigation into #Ticketmaster following Pearl Jam's attempt to do a national tour using a startup company. Five years later, I was General Counsel of that startup and we sued Ticketmaster for #antitrust violations. https://t.co/CWjqSBIqU3
With the internet, dissidents exiled in the US can still have a voice in their home country, which is why repressive states are fighting back. Anti-SLAPP laws are an important protection for US critics of foreign governments. https://t.co/dapiFY5hZF #BbMaharlika
Today, foreign governments are trying to silence dissidents in the US through harassment and SLAPP suits. This motion concerns #BbMaharlika , a video-blogger and Marcos critic in the #Philippines which is a very dangerous place for journalists. https://t.co/iROI3OAyHB
