When a progressive calls an allegation “credible”

You can safely assume it’s spurious and uncorroborated

Conversely, when a progressive calls an allegation a “conspiracy theory”

You can safely assume that it’s at least somewhat true and very embarrassing
“Credible allegation” and “conspiracy theory” are content-free framing

Journalism is dying and we can heal it

By overturning New York Times v. Sullivan
NYT v. Sullivan gives journalists a license to defame

It's built on the presumption that journalists act in good faith to reveal the truth about the world

But that's a faulty presumption

They don't deserve any special protection

Open up the libel laws
"What about free speech?"

For the right, freedom of speech is the freedom to offend

For the left, freedom of speech is the freedom to defame

It's unclear why the latter deserves protection

Especially given that no such freedom was recognized for nearly 200 years post-founding

A major conservative legal project over the next twenty years should be overturning New York Times v. Sullivan

And eliminating the bizarre "actual malice" standard from American law
In Sullivan, the court simply invented a new intent standard for defamation cases involving public figures: "actual malice."

Defamation law and the First Amendment had coexisted for two centuries

There was no need for the Court to rewrite the law
The media wants to eliminate your freedom to offend while maintaining their freedom to defame

It's time to go on offense

If the NYT is going to defame conservatives as a matter of course, it's time to make them pay for it

#ClimateStrike #ClimateAction #YouthStrike4Climate in London today, in photos. Posters speak better than stories.
the full photo reportage here: medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisk…
Note: many adults are trying to hijack the simple and powerful message & use it to gain popularity. At least 10 groups in the streets pushing their ideological or mercantile agenda under the guise of caring for children & climate. Don't fall for provocations. #ClimateAction

It's Going Down
@IGD_News
#ClimateStrike is set to call on governments to address climate change, but why petition those who designed this crisis? The State doesn't exist to serve our needs but to protect those who profit off the causes of this disaster. A thread. #ClimateAction itsgoingdown.org/the-wrong-ice-…
The most effective way to pressure those in power to address the climate crisis is to show that whatever they fail to do, we will do ourselves. This means moving beyond symbolic displays towards build the capacity to shut down the mechanisms actually killing the planet.
There are many examples of this. The Occupy Movement demonstrated that tens of thousands of people could make decisions horizontally, and organized a day of action which shut down West Coast ports.
