Here's the opinion. It's a rout. Too often, courts address only the actual malice question and do not reach falsity. This court correctly says there's no actual malice *and* the plaintiff did not show there were any false statements. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
In 2024, I wrote a story for Texas Monthly about Michelle Haas, whose complaints resulted in the removal of books about slavery from historic Texas slave plantations. Haas sued us, alleging defamation, and was represented by the preferred lawyer of billionaire J.P. Bryan. Today, we won on appeal.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social I hate to be "That Guy", and I can't be the first, but the clapping story is from Solzhenitsyn in The Gulag Archipelago. At a local Soviet Party meeting in 1937 after Stalin's name was mentioned... well you know, “Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding!”

Everytime I listen to Stephen Miller I think of this one angry nerdy bitter kid I went to high school with who used to have just one line in his AIM profile, the Radiohead lyric:
“When I am king, you will be first against the wall”
“When I am king, you will be first against the wall”
The year is 2003.
17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity."
Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

I have watched some of these "debates."
Agree 100% with this assessment.
(As mentioned before, I spent too much of my high-school time on [successful] debate teams. That pursuit has its quirks and flaws—but miles better than what was being served up here.)

This is an important point. Setting yourself up on a dais under a banner that says "Prove me wrong" is the schoolyard bully's idea of debate. If you take the time to actually watch clips of Kirk "debating" you will instantly see that what is actually sophomoric point-scoring, not genuine debate.
This should be obvious but debate culture is a zero sum spectacle organized around a collective humiliation ritual. The point of a debate isn’t to produce a new, intersubjective understanding. It’s to decide who wins. Anyone demanding you participate in it does not have your best interest in mind.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.
It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.
