If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

Anyway. I think about that decade-ish -- a decade during which Kozinski started making his clerks and externs sign NDAs -- that followed, and really think maybe the judiciary should have learned something from their total lack of investigation.

More to the point, Morillo is a threat to WWeek because she has her own platform so they can’t discipline her effectively or force her to conform to their preferred decorum. She’s a threat to their influence and they feel insecure about it.

As we have spent near two decades nationally struggling to comprehend free & protected speech along the lines of whether fascists should be able to freely advocate for our current moment in educational spaces, the literal definition of free speech is that the government can’t do this to critics.

And you know, there is something obscene about using the exploitation and murder of poor Black men, women, and children as a metaphor for a largely white electorate supporting a conman. The comparison borrows the horror of their deaths while discarding the conditions of their lives.
