If you supported their defense of civil liberties in the past, I see no reason to stop that support in light of this. 3/3

The fact that this is nothing new is exactly why I'm saying not to donate to the ACLU. They ALWAYS do this.

They dismiss real oppression against members of vulnerable populations as "not their job" and reinforce shallow Voltaire BS.

They defend _individual_ nazis, but rarely individual trans people, or black people, etc. Only fight overt _policies_ affecting latter.

I don't have insight into their litigation strategy, but isn't fighting bad policies far more effective than defending individuals?

If that's true, then why spend money defending individual nazis?

Presumably to fight against a harmful policy. In your view, should lawyers not have defended weev pro bono, for example?

They should not have. Plenty of good people have to use public defenders. No reason an awful one should get good defense for free.

Do you know how much harm Weev went on to do after that?

I do not. But I also don't think we should be putting people in jail for crimes they don't commit in jurisdictions they're not in.

I have no special insight into that case, but I'm glad EFF helped him find legal representation.
