The GOP is declaring a Total War on freedom of speech.
Now's the time for Democrats to reclaim their historic mantle as defenders of free expression, but it requires them to jettison bad progressive ideas about speech that proliferated in the 2010s.

The history of Rome is a great instructor for understanding how a Republic can be born and die. Ronald Syme’s exceptional book, “The Roman Revolution,” is a must read to understand the transition between Republic and Empire did not happen overnight. Below are a few select quotes:
“In all ages, whatever the form and name of government, be it monarchy, republic, or democracy, an oligarchy lurks behind the façade; and Roman history, Republican or Imperial, is the history of the governing class.”
#NeverForget how the US government used the murder of innocents to destroy American liberty and to throw the world into further chaos with the War on Terror which has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands and the destabilization of an entire region of the world.
@NickAdamsinUSA “You must love Big Brother. It is not enough to obey him: you must love him.”
How about rather than coercing young people to love their country, you actually attempted to make the country better so that people would want to love it if freely of their own accord?
@RadicalLib@OGRolandRat Members within the US government created the McCollum Memo which laid out an eight step plan to provoke a war with Japan to bring the US into the war and change American attitudes. The fact that this isn’t widespread knowledge is criminal. https://t.co/7sBMnbT8Wz
Rome is the mob.
Conjure magic for them and they’ll be distracted.
Take away their freedom, and still they’ll roar.
The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the senate, it’s the sand of the colosseum.
He will bring them death, and they will love him for it.
The inescapable reality of the world is that everyone worships something. It is no coincidence that in this age of Western Civilization where traditional religion is commonly rejected, the “All Powerful State” and its many cults reigns as the supreme god.
The IRS should serve as a reminder that in the eyes of government, you are nothing more than their tax slave. Do you truly own property if you have to pay a tax for it? Are you really free if you have to give up a part of your income at the threat of violence?
Literally from its inception, the FBI has been a political tool used by those in power to attack their opponents. To act as if this is a shocking new development is to totally misunderstand America’s history over the last 100 years. They are an arm of the praetorian guard.
