“The ACLU is primarily a legal organization. That means they defend people’s rights in court, under principles of law. One of the governing tools of courts is precedent: the application of prior rulings to current cases. If the ACLU allows the state to suppress the free speech rights of white nationa…”— Glenn Greenwald, theintercept.com
“The number of people who were calling for police abolition last week and now want to hand the cops the power to regulate speech is wild. They're all the same cops, you guys. Your good intentions do not magically create non-racist, non-corrupt police and prosecutors.”— Freddie DeBoer, twitter.com

But m…”— Freddie DeBoer, medium.com
“I was there growing up at the time when they let the KKK march down the street. And what was the issue? It was a freedom of speech issue. They're thumbing their nose at us, but you know what?
