We were told these surgeries weren’t happening. And they accused us of misinformation, hate speech, and incitement for saying they shouldn’t be happening.

We just defeated Gavin Newsom's censorship law in court, so videos like the one below remain legal. It'd be a shame if everyone shared it again.

Evil is injustice, but where does our idea of justice come from? What standard beyond our own subjective opinions and preferences are we all appealing to when we say that something is morally wrong? You have to have an idea of a straight line, as Lewis put it, before you can call another line crooked. Far from disproving God, badness points us to a standard of goodness that exists outside of ourselves and imposes itself upon us in the form of moral obligations and duties. If we're to treat these things as real — and not just useful fictions that aid in survival — then we'll need to affirm a metaphysical worldview that actually supports them. But even if badness didn't point us to goodness (which points to God), you'd still have to show that the existence of evil is somehow incompatible with God — that He couldn't possibly have morally sufficient reasons for permitting it. That's a heavy burden. What if God wanted humans to have real relationships with each other and with Himself? What if He preferred a world where courage and compassion and joy and love were possible? Would that have been possible without giving us significant freedom? Perhaps not. It's hard to imagine how meaningful love would be if it weren't possible to hate, or how meaningful courage would be if it weren't possible to be a coward. In that case our ability to do the wrong thing is a necessary consequence of the free will that makes every good thing possible. Finally, if there's such a thing as powerful arguments — that is, persuasive arguments that can cause rational people to change their minds — then reality must not be like the naturalists say it is, with non-rational physical causes and effects determining all the outcomes (for more on this, see the argument from reason).

“[Hamas] are not terrorists. They are resistance fighters. They are freedom fighters. And they are heroes for a new world . . . We stand with the Palestinian resistance and their heroic brave action on October 7.” The crowd cheers. https://t.co/0R0zVRt5XT

This warning from an attorney general back in 1940 is as relevant as ever, given the endless effort to find Trump guilty of something, anything: "One of the greatest difficulties of the position of prosecutor is that he must pick his cases . . . he can choose his defendants. Therein is the most dangerous power of the prosecutor: that he will pick people that he thinks he should get, rather than cases that need to be prosecuted. With the law books filled with a great assortment of crimes, a prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some act on the part of almost anyone. In such a case, it is not a question of discovering the commission of a crime and then looking for the man who has committed it, it is a question of picking the man and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him. It is in this realm — in which the prosecutor picks some person whom he dislikes or desires to embarrass, or selects some group of unpopular persons and then looks for an offense, that the greatest danger of abuse of prosecuting power lies. It is here that law enforcement becomes personal, and the real crime becomes that of being unpopular with the predominant or governing group, being attached to the wrong political views, or being personally obnoxious to, or in the way of, the prosecutor himself." — Robert Jackson

I just learned that one of the co-founders of Twitter, Evan Williams, spoke to the Associated Press after Trump was elected and apologized for his role in making that happen. He went on to say he was wrong for thinking that the world would be a better place if there was a…
