Just in case you wondered what the ACLU has been doing, I captured some of their front page statements - since surely they will never be archived this way:
Politicians are passing laws that force people to remain pregnant against their will – but we’re fighting back.
The Senate must restore protections that root out voting barriers that discriminate against people of color.Do vaccine mandates violate civil liberties? Some who have refused vaccination claim as much. We disagree. At the ACLU, we are not shy about defending civil liberties, even when they are very unpopular. But we see no civil liberties problem with requiring Covid-19 vaccines in most circumstances.

But consider another thing:
While it's taken a bit of a back-seat in recent years to asking whether polyamorous non-binary climate change is racist, a certain sect of the victim-for-hire class have for decades been bemoaning what intelligent creatures dolphins are, and how it's tantamount to genocide that humans are just absolutely slaughtering them by dredging the ocean with nets, and polluting it with plastic waste, and so on.
Intelligent? I'm sorry, but when was the last time that YOU got randomly caught in a net?
And, c'mon. We're supplying them with more free plastic than their ancestors could have ever dreamed of, and yet they still have yet to devise a way to do anything useful with it.
But you wanna know the real truth?
No dolphin in history has ever questioned its own gender. Or accused another dolphin of cultural appropriation for preferring one type of jellyfish over another.
So... maybe they are intelligent after all.
I'm your host, Joe. And remember: follow the money. Eventually, you'll wind up at the US Treasury.

Wow, this is YUGE and it almost seems like this is being timed to be drowned out shortly by a Russian invasion of Ukraine...

Crazy conspiracies keep being facts, so weird.
It's hilarious Biden is using Russia to distract from the completely fake Russia story. Can't wait till people finally believe the people whom went to great lengths to spy on trump also went to great lengths to steal theElection.

Complicit
Court Filing Started a Furor in Right-Wing Outlets, but Their Narrative Is Off Track The latest alarmist claims about spying on Trump appeared to be flawed, but the explanation is byzantine — underlining the challenge for journalists in deciding what merits coverage.
