Platforms’ content moderation of terrorism-related content currently sits at a troubling equilibrium, at which platforms anticipatorily adopt a very broad reading of the law, thus preventing the government from having to explain the law’s true reach, let alone attempt to enforce it against social media companies. This equilibrium is the product of platforms’ self-interested risk aversion, an erroneous assumption by the Supreme Court about what the effects of allowing the government to restrict even peaceful speech as “material support” would be, and no one having both the incentive and capacity to change the status quo. As a result, a U.S. law, and the Court’s interpretation of it, has encouraged the suppression of core political discourse, not just beyond the borders of the United States but also within them. The Court’s decision in Humanitarian Law Project thus casts a long shadow over us all.

Senator Schumer referred to two Members of the Court by name and said he wanted to tell them that ‘You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,'” the statement said

“Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort [blah blah blah]

I searched for “mike flood town hall” filtering out results after November of 2024 and found a bunch of news stories across 2023 and 2024 talking about him holding townhalls but never found any saying that he’d had a bunch of people show up to yell at him. Seems like whatever this is it’s something different.

Also a lot of Democratic leadership’s

Why the hell is a guy who resigned in disgrace even getting ANY support right now.

Because the dollars of this country that are available to be donated to political campaigns are largely held by dirtbags and I’m guessing those dirtbags know a bunch of other skeletons that are in Cuomo’s closet which could be broken out if he ever tried to defy them

Life is easier when you don’t take sides

No it isn’t
