The bill…bans universities from turning down speakers if their speech is deemed controversial or cancelling a speaker based on student backlash…

From the people who brought you “you can’t force them to make a cake”.

Sounds like it's time for some LGBT seminars and drag story hours at Tennessee universities!

"Nazi propaganda mythologized details of Wessel’s death and turned him into the party’s most famous martyr. Wessel was celebrated in several propagandistic books, films, and public ceremonies. In addition, Wessel had written lyrics to a song that became the Nazi Party anthem after his death. The Nazis used Wessel’s legend to celebrate their ideals of political violence and self-sacrifice—and to encourage others to fight and die for the Nazi movement. His death was also used to rationalize attacks on Communists and other targets of the Nazi Party. "

Aubrey Texas should build an Aubrey Plaza.

There’s a local restaurant chain in Tennessee called Aubrey’s… I think there’s potential here.

America is so free and has so much freedom that some people just came in and took it from the people already living there.

Name the year.

SCOTUS just ruled that children and teachers using their own First Amendment rights somehow violates the rights of dangerous, abusive parents. Fuck the US.

It would be wrong, just wrong, if certain marginalized groups targeted these plazas for all their flashiest first amendment activities so that people hear the name and assume Charlie Kirk must have been a woke gay liberal Satanist.

I'm OK with it, if it has the most glorious fountain right in the middle.

The right dyes for the water are key.

I feel like in all my life i have never heard anyone talk about Tennessee. And now they are just trying to remind everyone why they were a forgotten state.

Oh you just didn't know the right people. They were happy to tell everyone how they're never fucking going back

Could be the future execution square for when people get rid of the fascists.

oh man. broadcast tv has these annoying commercials about his last book. If Jesus saves, well, He'd better save Himself. From the gory glory seekers who use his name in death.
