on a side note, it is becoming a rare occasion that the ACLU is involved in a free speech issue and arguing for free speech, and they are using it to sell merch.

The ACLU has fallen from grace. They're mostly just a mouthpiece for a particular brand of politics today.
they raked in hundreds of millions from trump resistance libs over the last couple years, yet their number of lawyers that specialize in free speech is the same as a decade ago: 4! four.
It's almost like the 1st amendment is rarely under attack like other freedoms/laws are!

You know the ACLU doesn't just fight for free speech right?
