The legal community needs to stop fetishizing defending Nazi speech until it starts consistently showing up for marginalized folks' speech.

But Nazi speech defense is a settled issue, legally speaking. There is no impact potential for defending Milo.
-
So why not let the lawfirm of Dirtbag & Fashy LLC handle it? Because the legal community gets off on Nazi shit.

It allows them to feel like they're making a deeply painful yet morally principled stand.

Meanwhile, no one is showing up to help trans folks fight insurance denials.

I have a lot of trouble understanding the ACLU's priorities. You can't prioritize defending everyone's free speech. Why do this?
-
My best guess is that they're trying to deflect the "ACLU is leftist" by being assholes.
-
I dont think they're leftists....
-
Oh no, neither do I. But I think it's a common claim that's lobbed in their direction by conservatives when they disagree with the ACLU.

@chasestrangio and@JoshACLU are fantastic trans advocates but my case never went past the local branch, and I don't know anyone there. -
I thought you were referring to years past.

They do impact litigation, they're not legal aid. I don't think ACLU would dispute that they decline to take lots of meritorious cases.
