    Didn’t CU rule that spending money is free speech? So isn’t compelling the spending of money compelling speech? Sounds straight up unconstitutional.(as if that fucking matters these days)

      Republicans have been undermining the constitution for decades. Now they straight up wipe their ass with it. The Goal has always been a christofacist dictatorship

      No, Citizens United ruled that corporations are allowed to engage in elections just like citizens. It said nothing about money, protesting, or anything else.

      Still not a good ruling for any reason, but not really relevant here.

      Rich people spending money is free speech.

      Anti-genocide activists not spending money is terrorism.

      AKA the usual.
