Q: "All to stop The Koala from receiving $450 in student activity fees

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals scolded the University of California-San Diego a year ago for trying to shut down a satirical student newspaper by defunding all campus media.

The parties settled last month, and thanks to a public records request by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, we know exactly how much this poorly constructed attempt at censorship cost California taxpayers: $824,317.86."

Q: "Turner, a self-proclaimed “#LeftyLawyer”, issued his remarkable statement in response to Brexit campaigner turned conservative commentator Darren Grimes defending himself against London police investigating him over an interview in which one of his guests said something offensive. - “Freedom of speech Darren doesn’t afford people the freedom to make racist remarks or generally offend,” the politician declared in a now-deleted tweet, adding: “I shall say nothing further given that you say [the Metropolitan Police] are investigating a complaint.”"

*Facepalm*

Q: "The guide, “Stopping the Coup,” available as a Google doc, is being circulated by a group called ShutDownDC. It casts its plan for disruption as a response to an imagined “coup” by the president in the case of a close election. - In order to really win we will need to force some pillars of power (business, military, media, or other major institutions) to decide to side with the people, or at least get out of the way.  If everyday life goes on, a despot will not leave power, and so there will be no incentive for real systems change. You want to think about what it might take to stop business-as-usual."

Ég held þeir viti ekki hvernig heimurinn virkar: "On September 19, out-of-state voters using lewd names began signing up for the free get-out-the-vote event called the “TRiUMPh Rally.”

“We had about 1,500 RSVPs from Staten Islanders. Then all of a sudden we started seeing the numbers tick up to 10,000, 15,000, 75,000,” Staten Island GOP chairman Brendan Lantry told the Post. “We knew something was not right.”

Lantry’s wife, Jessica, who uses TikTok, traced the sign-ups to a clip posted by a 19-year-old Brooklyn native called Felisrae.

 - ...to deter the pranksters, Lantry added a $5 non-refundable fee to the sign-ups.

But the registrations kept pouring in from places such as Chicago, Colorado, California, and Houston, according to Lantry.

By the time the October 3 rally began, the anti-Trump teens shelled out $15,785 to buy 3,000 vouchers they did not intend to use."

Snillingar.
