Former “free speech” crusaders have ushered in an unprecedented campaign of censorship in Texas universities, resulting in pulitzer winning books being banned, medical and scientific facts being suppressed, and entire fields of study deemed “woke” being eliminated www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
Over the past decade, some conservatives have invoked principles of academic freedom and free speech in order to subvert both. These conservatives mocked “snowflakes” and “trigger warnings,” and then passed legislation making it illegal to hurt white students’ feelings by discussing historical or contemporary events. They invoked academic freedom and then began erasing fields of study they found politically inconvenient. They railed against “indoctrination,” and then argued that the state is entitled to control everything said in the classroom.

“I have done everything humanly possible to give the government the benefit of the doubt in this case. I have done it repeatedly.” Why would you do that, judge? Did you think they deserve it on the merits? Did you expect that to get them to respect adverse rulings rather than take it as permission?

This is what I was talking about earlier...this weird media push calling understanding and forgiveness for people that have spent the last DECADE focused on...EVERYTHING AROUND US. And now they feel it slipping away, and they're like, "This division is killing us! Reach out in kindness!" Fuck off.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

Over the last decade, there were two hypotheses: H1: the political right genuinely cared about threats to speech from the left. H2: they were using campus speech wars to impose their values and silence dissent. Today, the answer is clear, but I can't find any of the H1 people admitting their error.

Everyone's dunking on this (because the 'heated rivalry' comparison is asinine), but it *is* based on a real book that went SUPER viral a few years ago. The adaptation might be a ripoff-driven cash grab, but the source material existed well before HR's popularity took off.

Of course the White House would characterize political ads glorifying Trump as PSAs. Normal people, however, would call that blatant propaganda illegally funded by misappropriated taxpayer funds.
