New York Times Headline "Trump Says Iran's Supreme Leader Is Killed in Strikes" with subhead "President Says Bombing Will Continue" and images adds "Until Morale Improves"
The bombings will continue until morale improves
Even when they show signs of weakness or forced regret, we must not give an inch. Authoritarian governments still respond to public opinion, which is why sustained pressure matters. We have to keep making clear that these thuggish actions are unconscionable and will not be tolerated. Don’t let up.
"When Americans see someone shot dead in the street shortly after recording federal agents—and hear top government officials immediately justify the shooting before any investigation can begin—they will reasonably fear that exercising these rights carries not just legal risk but physical danger."
From a UM alum who has lived in both: Driving to either Hollywood or Manhattan Beach on Saturday was objectively worse than just going to Union Square and having the pick of four different Michigan bars

It said it was going to shareholders because the board of Warner Bros. Discovery is “pursuing an inferior proposal” that would lead to “a challenging regulatory approval process.”

The Constitution protects the right of fans on both sides to taunt their rivals — even if it means upsetting them (13–10).

We already do this though ... at the city/county/state level for nonresidents – for example, Michigan DNR Passport or DIA being free for Metro Detroiters.
Obv don't need more reasons for tourists to avoid the U.S. right now, but I doubt I'd think twice about this otherwise.

Good job, no gloves!
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
In a webinar today about the threats to expression in the U.S., I said the question was ultimately more about whether people would have the courage to fight for their rights than whether they would win those fights. You do not retain rights you willingly give up.
ABC has spinelessly and swiftly responded to the government pressure and suspended Kimmel indefinitely.
My statement on this disappointing update:
Exactly, the French would be toast
BREAKING: Free speech doesn’t stop when the sun sets—but Texas thinks it does. A new Texas law forces public universities to ban virtually all expressive activities after 10 PM, a violation of the First Amendment.
That’s why FIRE is suing to stop this chilling law in its tracks.
STATEMENT: President Trump may believe he has the power to revise the First Amendment with the stroke of a pen, but he doesn’t.
Flag burning as a form of political protest is protected by the First Amendment. That’s nothing new.
4/ Today’s ruling places a hold on Wendler’s enforcement of his illegal directive, allowing Spectrum WT and any other student organization to hold drag shows while litigation continues.

3/ The First Amendment bars public officials at state universities, like Wendler, from censoring performances based on nothing more than personal disapproval.
2/ In 2023, West Texas A&M President Walter Wendler unilaterally canceled a planned campus drag show intended to raise money for suicide prevention. Wendler claimed drag offends and demeans women, even though he admitted “the law of the land appears to require” him to allow the performance.
VICTORY! In a win for student expression on campus, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals today overruled a lower court's decision, sided with FIRE’s clients, and blocked West Texas A&M University’s unconstitutional ban on drag shows.
“In the United States of America, no one should fear a midnight knock on the door for voicing the wrong opinion.”
NEW: FIRE is challenging provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act allowing Rubio to target noncitizens for 1A protected speech.
