I'm a patriot. I belong to the Federalist Society. I'm mildly libertarian. And it is unbearable to see what my beloved country is doing to people. If I were younger, I'd be on the barricades -- trying to help keep peace while protesting.

The day before: There must be better ways to protest authoritarianism than doing things highly likely to provoke authoritarian responses. Everyone is going to self-righteously and indignantly blame everyone else when it goes bad. And then claim that "WE wanted it to be peaceful!"

Re "No Kings" protests: I blame Congress (both sides). If they had been doing their job, these demonstrations wouldn't have to happen.

Lots of governments are stacked with vainglorious lifestyle regulating prohibitionist zealots (cheers 🇺🇸), but there can only be one with the absolute worst tobacco control policies in the world. Welcome to Australia. @Mark_Butler_MP @CancerVic @TGAgovau @Aliveadvocacy

This ghastly jawboning is one of the reasons we support the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (thefire.org) "[Republican Senator] Cruz Warns Conservatives 'will regret' FCC censorship push against ABC..." foxnews.com/politics/cruz-…

EIDGeek's tweet card. Sen. Ted Cruz warns that FCC Chair Brendan Carr's threats to revoke ABC's broadcast license over Jimmy Kimmel's false statements could set a dangerous censorship precedent.

First of 15 days semi-circumnavigating Madagascar! During clearance into Toliara, we’re being welcomed by delightful locals who want to sell us souvenirs from their canoes. So pleasant after 2 days of ACIP…
