More than 60 years ago the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment bars the government from coercing private entities to punish speech that the government disfavors. Just as the government can't directly punish or censor speech it disagrees with, it cannot do so indirectly by coercing private parties to do the same. | History underscores the importance of this free speech protection. Government officials have all too often enlisted private parties—from the White Citizens' Councils of the Jim Crow South to the blacklists of Communists in the McCarthy era—to punish those with whom they disagree.

US veto #5 at UN vote to protect Israel from global condemnation in genocidal war. indybay.org For the fifth time since the war between Israel and the ruling Hamas group in Gaza that started on October 7, the US has once again been the lone voice in sheltering the Israeli government from widespread global rebuke. While making a few milquetoast statements that "regret" the massive indiscriminate bombings and killings of 30,000+ unarmed civilians, the tone-deaf Biden regime(poll after poll show the American public wants a ceasefire in Gaza) has continued sending thousands of bombs, missiles and other WMDs to enable the continuing slaughter.
