Having been the victim of #defamation in December 2023, I was forced to close my old #YouTube channel related to my #indiedev activity.

It's too late to file a complaint (I was accused of r*pe) and I no longer have the evidence with me. A year and a half ago, I'm relaunching my new YouTube channel. Feel free to give it a thumbs-up, especially on vertical videos, because those who give it a thumbs-up clearly don't give a damn.

Update: Judge temporarily parts of Trump EO on Perkins Coie

Judge compared the president to the Queen of Hearts in “Alice in Wonderland,” noting that the rash queen’s outbursts — “Off with their heads!” — are entertaining to read about but “cannot be the reality we are living” under our Constitution.

Judge indicates Trump’s order likely violates the First Amendment for retaliating against protected speech and that it also likely runs afoul of due process protections and the Perkins Coie’s clients’ Sixth Amendment right to counsel.

“issuing an executive order targeting the firm based on the president’s dislike of the political positions of the firm’s clients or the firm’s litigation positions is retaliatory and runs head-on into the role of First Amendment protection.”

More than 60 years ago, New York Times C. v. Sullivan established that, to succeed in defamation cases, public figures must prove that a published statement is false and that publishers acted with "actual malice." "Murder the Truth," a new book by New York Times journalist and editor David Enrich, discusses the movement to overturn Sullivan, accelerated by Trump, his allies and people who are influenced by them. Nieman Lab spoke to Enrich about his investigation, the journalists he spoke to, and more. "The push to overturn Roe was obviously one of the most coordinated assaults on established Supreme Court precedent, probably in history," Enrich says. "This is definitely not like that — but it’s not an accident that these people were getting up and being given platforms on places like Fox News to make these arguments over and over again."

Law firm Perkins Coie who are the subject of an Executive Order have filed a lawsuit against Trump administration. The Trump administration is picking a fight with some of the best and brightest lawyers in America.

POTUS and team Get ready for a MAJOR smack down!! One example of positions in the complaint.

"Because the Order singles out Perkins Coie, it denies the firm the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment.... the Order constitutes retaliatory viewpoint discrimination and, therefore, violates the First Amendment rights of free expression and association, and the right to petition the government for redress. Because the Order compels disclosure of confidential information revealing the firm’s relationships with its clients, it violates the First Amendment."
