For us, the case reaches far beyond social media because gov't efforts to censor speech usually target topics about sexual freedom first. Things like sex ed & LGBTQ+ content. This case is one way we stop censorship and protect free expression!

Looking to the courts to rein in the Trump administration? The Constitution gives judges no power to compel compliance with their rulings, it is the executive branch that ultimately enforces judicial orders. If a president decides to ignore a judicial ruling, the courts are likely rendered impotent.

Just a reminder to verify that something is true before you share it on social media. And, more importantly, before you believe it yourself.
Quote from Hannah Arendt, German historian, about lying. "The constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want."
