@JeremyAWeiss @qckbrnfx @Popehat So then the issue is *not* that this letter is trying to make it so no one can read her book, but that she is simply owed publishing contracts because of her 'stature'?
English

@nwbvt @LizardSF @NicoPerrino @Popehat @penguinrandom well unless they're breaking into her house and football tackling her and setting fire to her computer, how else is this group supposed to "violate her free speech" if not through govt action?
nothing is stopping her from self publishing it, moron
English

@PastaSauce8 @LizardSF @NicoPerrino @Popehat @penguinrandom I literally said nothing about the First Amendment you illiterate dung beetle.
English

250 members of the literary world, including many who work in the book publishing industry, signed an open letter to @penguinrandom calling for ... book banning?

English

@nwbvt @LizardSF @NicoPerrino @Popehat @penguinrandom You literally said "they want to."
Absent of literally ANY evidence that they want to make it illegal via state action for people to read her garbage... like conservatives making it illegal for teachers to teach certain books... you have nothing at all but your fantasies.
English

@PastaSauce8 @LizardSF @NicoPerrino @Popehat @penguinrandom Which is why I didn't say they were trying to violate the First Amendment.
I also didn't say they were trying to vote the Third Amendment because they aren't trying to force homeowners to shelter soldiers.
English

@nwbvt @LizardSF @NicoPerrino @Popehat @penguinrandom are they pushing for the publishing company to be fined by the government for publishing her garbage? no?
then they're not trying to violate the first amendment.
English

@LizardSF @NicoPerrino @Popehat @penguinrandom No one is saying the letter writers *are* violating free speech. Just that they want to.
English

@JeremyAWeiss @qckbrnfx @Popehat And she's still free to self publish her "book". She can make a website and post it herself for literally no cost.
English

@rwlesq @Ajdesasha @Popehat Nobody is stopping them from self publishing their horseshit.
But you know what's a lot more alienating than "wwaaahhhh a publisher wouldn't accept my book :'("? Having queer ppl shoved back into the closet because you want to give the alt-right a platform to call us pedophiles
English

@Ajdesasha @Popehat Assuming it isn't risking a libel suit, I don't think a publisher should refuse to publish a book on that basis. I think a healthy society needs to allow major factions a fair chance to air their views, even if those views are bad. To do otherwise, leads factions to feel...

@AllisonMcClell8 @ndrew_lawrence It does. Because of how badly our system is gerrymandered, every election is going to come down those few thousand "undecided" voters in a few specific swing states/districts, who appear to make their decision based off little more than vibes
English

@ndrew_lawrence As a Canadian looking in, seems like every single election cycle in the US it always comes down to who is controlling the media narrative the last couple weeks before the election. It’s like everything that happened in the last year goes completely out the window. #Midterms2022
English

this is such an embarrassment for msnbc and cnn, imagine calling yourself real news and then getting led around by the nose by greg gutfeld and jesse watters
Philip Bump@pbump
So you're telling me, what, that in late September there was an uptick in crime and it has been climbing since? Is that what happened? washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
English

@NicoPerrino @Popehat @penguinrandom whether it's conservatives literally banning books in classrooms or liberals asking a publishing company to reconsider partnering with a christofascist who can just publish the book herself, both sides have a censorship problem 🙄
English

@SYeezy05 @PoliticalGriot @TarynPRentice @Phil_Lewis_ what point did you have? you just made up a bunch of random hypotheticals with zero proof and said "well what about THIS?!"
English

Kanye West’s Donda Academy has reportedly closed for the rest of the school year

@Charislovess @Phil_Lewis_ ah yes, the liberal plot to let conservatives ruin their own lives by... going on unforced wildly unhinged antisemtic rants over and over with nazi rhetoric... is working perfectly
English

@Phil_Lewis_ The goal is to embarass Kanye and then bankrupt him AND THEN put him in jail. They will figure out a way to take his freedom by next year.
English

@nyc_300 @Seriously_Toi @Phil_Lewis_ whole lotta nazis crawling out of the woodwork to say "actually it's okay to go defcon three on the jewish people"
English

@Seriously_Toi @Phil_Lewis_ So children should suffer because an elite group of ethno-religious billionaires got offended at a statement that stated someone was “ready to face them” (DEFCON 3). The same ethno-religious elites that have fractured the black community through systematic oppression
English

@EverytnCrypto @AndrewGreene864 @88CAMINO he is not anywhere near rich enough for banks to "need him"
English

@AndrewGreene864 @88CAMINO Yẹ might not be a genius but he knows how to get back on his feet. There's are some people that can't be cancelled. Banks don't want to do business are all bullocks. He just have to work hard for them to need him.
English

@JJungels1 @88CAMINO "defeated the corporations" what does that even MEAN 😂
English

@evan_greer "employees waste 35% of their time in unproductive meetings!"
"anyway pay us for our spyware to 'increase productivity' instead of just not scheduling useless meetings"
English

@MarlaMHughes @SamEagle3000 @joshtpm how many times are you going to fall for "oh i marched with fascists but i'm TOTALLY not one anymore i PROMISE (besides canvassing for one right now ofc!)" before you consider that you're a gullible moron
typical conservative
English

@SamEagle3000 @joshtpm Since both father and son said it was political when the father called Rubio's office to report the attack it makes sense Rubio would think it was political. Also, a DeSantis hat and Rubio t shirt makes it more likely.
Lopez has disavowed is former affiliations, btw.
English

Bingo >>>> GOP canvasser didn’t say brutal beating was political until after Rubio tweet, cops say miamiherald.com/news/politics-…

@pattyisright @Electronaut85 @RonFilipkowski remember MAGAts with guns screaming outside of polling sites to "stop the count"?
weird how the only cases of voter fraud that you cockroaches have found were republican voters too. almost like your pathetic ass can't do anything but project
English

@Electronaut85 @RonFilipkowski No they stopped counting in the middle of the night. Resumed the next morning
English

@FectumR @albert_hubble @b_nishanov ayup. how many conservatives are going to share their original post as cold hard fact, without ever knowing (or caring) that it's not true?
my guess is a whole fucking lot.
English

@albert_hubble @b_nishanov Quantity, not quality. the average foreigner has a hard time to resist this endless stream of lies
English

@Imfromthegover1 @senatorshoshana you can vomit up all the anarchist quotes that you like
i have never seen a SINGLE anarchist even attempt to present a plausible explanation for how disabled people like me wouldn't just be left to die in your fucking utopia. govt being imperfect doesn't mean tear it down.
English

@PastaSauce8 @senatorshoshana "At the present time, the strongest support for government appears to be habit, a common garden variety of ignorance, credulity, and superstition, sustained by a vast amount of mis-education perpetuated by governmental schools in every quarter of the globe."

@DakkaWalrus @MaASInsomnia @Popehat lol
lmao
yeah now i see why you thought that was a reasonable way to vote, i have no more questions :)
