David ForbesAs much as radicals get criticized for being "unrealistic," demanding entire demographics facing literal genocide always maintain mild rhetoric and actions is an absolutely delusional level of conformity to expect. I don't think that gets said enough.
I fucking hate Elon Musk and it fucking galls me to say that X's argument is legally correct, but X's argument is legally correct and this law cannot pass even intermediate scrutiny, much less the strict scrutiny that is the correct standard of review

Just a head’s up to everyone who hasn’t reassessed their relationship with Shopify yet: its CEO is actively pushing far-right politics in Canada, now with Elon Musk’s explicit support!
