So generally advertising a violation of law that’s not protected (like “no black people served here”) is treated as part of the legal violation and not independent speech.

So maybe Colorado should have argued that. Instead they, a party, the party controlling the state’s position, STIPULATED that the plaintiff’s work was completely expressive.

The LPs all have the VC-qanon brain, high on the anti-woke mind virus. Money means nothing compared to crushing labor and punishing transgressors. It’s fucking crazy how gone they are.

Because, you know, poverty of working women being cut in half (and their children), plus the economic impact of lost wages on the economy ($482 billion) and GDP (2.8 perfect of 2014 GDP) isn’t sexy enough news. https://statusofwomendata.org/featured/the-economic-impact-of-equal-pay-by-state/

The economic impact of this persistent pay inequality is far-reaching: If women in the US received equal pay with comparable men, poverty for working women would be reduced by half and the US economy would have added $482 billion (equivalent to 2.8 percent of 2014 GDP) to its economy.

I want us to be able to do literally anything else, anything life-affirming that creates joy, instead of focusing on these assholes all the time. They want our attention so badly, and I think we can do better things with our energy

Ah, a Turning Point USA video starring the pizzagate guy... yeah, she seems totally in line with Musk's far-right nonsense. 4/4

A core element of right wing harassment campaigns is politicizing parts of community culture in order to “work the refs” into making a place more dangerous. They do this to media as well. Ex: they cast not harassing people as a “leftist value” and then claim political persecution when banned for it
