Oof, they’re getting a hell of a beating in the replies. The ACLU has become a clown car.

I don't know if you're aware of this, but at one time the ACLU was so utterly devoted to the cause of free speech and the right to assemble that they went to bat on behalf of actual, bonafide Nazis, defending their right to gather for one of their rallies. The organization's leadership at that time recognized that the cause of freedom, for everyone, is paramount and acted in accordance with that.

Today's ACLU is a pathetic and twisted mockery that cloaks itself in the violated corpse of the real ACLU as a way to hide its true nature from the population at large. Fortunately, its disguise is growing more and more tattered every time it does something like this, and soon everyone will be able to see the perversion in its true form.

Edit: Saw this in a comment, laughed.

Yeah, I’m aware of the ACLU’s former stance on free speech and free association. Seems they lost their way completely fairly recently - probably took in a class of lawyers who had been steeped in critical social justice at law school and then set about twisting the hallowed organisation into its present state.

I'm not laying the blame squarely at Chase Strangio's feet. But she certainly carries some of that burden
