A helpful diagram to explain the way freedom of speech operates and why Trump’s lawsuit gets it all wrong — PolitiTweet.org

Taking Dersh seriously — harder to do each day — his claim that media platforms are using the 1st Am as a sword to squelch free speech is just wordplay. EVERY private speech platform has a 1st Am right to decide whose speech to amplify and which speakers to kick off. End of story — PolitiTweet.org

“And what is this suit about? It’s about money, of course. As soon as Trump announced the suit, fundraising texts were blasted out to his supporters.” And even to guys like me! I guess petty grifters can’t be picky. https://t.co/ddzBN1xEbk — PolitiTweet.org

A funny quirk about the legally baseless Trump suits: they also violate the Forum Selection Clause in the FB & Twitter Terms of Use, which dictate that all suits must be brought in NDCA -- a contractual provision especially ironclad due to yrs of conservative jurisprudence! — PolitiTweet.org

How low can a former law professor sink? To call a bogus lawsuit based on a fake version of the First Amendment an important case, much less “the most important” of the century? Has he no shame? — PolitiTweet.org

If I were on the receiving end of this obviously bogus lawsuit, I’d yawn. Then yawn again. https://t.co/fKQVNXUhgm — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll discuss the new so-called “class action” by Donald Trump vs FB, Twitter, and Google on CNN tonight around 8 pm ET with Anderson Cooper on @AC360. I hope you watch. My basic point is below but there’s way more to explore. . . — PolitiTweet.org

Trump has the First Amendment argument backwards. Facebook and Twitter themselves have a First Amendment right to decide what speech their platforms amplify — a right that includes excluding speakers who incite violence, as Trump has done. https://t.co/hl9aw1cmPE — PolitiTweet.org

This jaw-dropping statement should inspire similar courage in others and utter shame throughout UNC. Take the time to read it, and take heart from the dedication and brilliance it exhibits: https://t.co/hjvqV9Wgfy — PolitiTweet.org

“The sobering message after the terrorist attacks 20 years ago this September and the spread of the deadly coronavirus a year and a half ago is this: Plan for the unexpected. Don’t be a prisoner of your lack of imagination.” Support this effort! https://t.co/8R3AjmGOR5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Representative Nikema Williams of Georgia have introduced an “abolition amendment,” which would finally scrap the exception clause in the 13th Amendment. It should be proposed by Congress and swiftly ratified. https://t.co/0EFmOBunva — PolitiTweet.org

There’s absolutely no legal basis for Trump to sue any of the social media platforms that booted him: they were just exercising their 1st Amendment rights as private companies to decide whose speech to publish. — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s also essential for DOJ to investigate and, if the evidence warrants, prosecute under the federal anti-insurrection statute all who gave “aid and comfort” to those who attacked our democracy’s central institutions for peaceful succession.” https://t.co/7OqluUXRls — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re curious about how what liberates some can imprison others, or about what disability really means —that is, if you’re human — you truly MUST read this brilliantly mind-expanding, uplifting essay by the great legal scholar Adam Samaha 👇🏼 https://t.co/wVEFL9MbLZ — PolitiTweet.org

This library “delights book obsessives but also offers lines of computers atop long tables and a dizzying array of technology training, career exploration, life-skills help, and personal enrichment in its 180,000 square feet.” Now THIS is a LIBRARY!!! https://t.co/koLauJh4gc — PolitiTweet.org

“The inflation was over in Germany long before Hitler rose, & Lenin came to power not in anything that resembled a revolution—which had happened already under the leadership of far more pluralistic politicians—but in a coup d’état by a militant minority.” https://t.co/PquZWhaS0I — PolitiTweet.org

The Weisselberg Indictment Is Not A “Fringe Benefits” Case. It’s far more serious — and damning. The NY Attorney General should dissolve the Trump Organization if this indictment leads to its conviction. https://t.co/RHX4FcfZal — PolitiTweet.org
