@madamscientist @AlexanderTheus @JasonSynaptic @SJMP1111 Don’t drive on roads. Don’t use the mail. Don’t go to the doctor. Don’t buy anything transported on an interstate, plane, train or boat.

@AlexanderTheus @JasonSynaptic @SJMP1111 Roads, safe cars, trains, medicine, whatever school you managed, the security of living in a safe country, etc. When did the world become so obsessed with “me me me”? Society may not always look like it is having a direct benefit to you as an individual, but collectively it is.

@fizziestghost @jbendery Your whole point was free speech means defending the right to say things you don’t believe in. But now you are arguing the opposite. And parroting hysteria about child predators. And making up words. Racism is okay, kids learning about inclusivity or racism is not? I disagree.

@fizziestghost @jbendery This isn’t an open ended debate. I never said I read every book, I said I’m familiar with them. Congrats on watching meetings. I do not believe in censorship. If parents don’t want their kids to read something that is their call. Shouldn’t be banned for everyone bc it offends you

@fizziestghost @jbendery I’m not sure what you mean by “belaying,” but rock climbing has nothing to do with this.

@fizziestghost @jbendery They were. They campaigned on it. It’s in the Project 2025.

@fizziestghost @jbendery And racism is a popular hill? Okay. And yes, I’m familiar with the books on banned lists, and no, they are not pornography. Thanks for showing who you are and what speech you value!

@JDVance Is this how a VP speaks? With sick vitriol and lack of decorum? A lack of integrity will harm your children. Much more than the books you seek to ban.

@fizziestghost @jbendery These are the same people banning books. So, I would argue they are not “honoring speech” they do not like. They are very capable of banning speech when it is promoting ideas they are against. Tells you a lot about what their true opinions are.

@Gr0uchP0tat0 @BrigadierBarry @1980y8 @BowTiedCrocodil @ZaidJilani @JDVance there will be no stopping the overreach. Our gov’t functions and survives on checks and balances. If the Exec Branch wants to change that, they can advocate for an amendment. But they cannot unilaterally decide the law doesn’t apply to them. It is a short road to authoritarianism
