WE NEED SOME NEW 'TRUTH-IN....' LAWS!

 Our fascists, and their fellow-travelers who hide it progressively less (if at all) are making it clearer each and every day: their outlook and their foolosophy is based on lies. Little else, almost nothing more.
We see this more and more in cases that come before the courts without real plaintiffs, injunctions seeking to keep lies on social media platforms, armies of online thugs intent on squelching any real discussions of any kind of baked-in inequality, be it racial, religious or class-based and a Taney Court that is intent on locking in the rule of white males who are also obscenely wealthy at the expense of all the rest of us!
And one thing I see us in serious need of is new laws! Specifically, either omnibus or as a set of more specific laws which will do the following.
First, make sure that all parties to any legal action are actual individuals or organizations.
Second, that parties to legal actions can claim some real and present injury. None of this bullpuckey (thank you, Rachel!) about possible or anticipated injury! To put what I think of that politely, copulate that!
Third, that posters on social media can be yanked for posting crudely offensive threats. I would want to exempt counter-threats to such postings, which might be possible if the counter-threats are phrased to say, 'Come at me, sucka, and no one will find your remains' or any variant thereof. Lawyers and judges are not stupid; they can get at the basic meaning of phrases. We will need laws which might sanction for rapid-fire rhetorical questions which are intended just to stifle discussion, as shown that answers are given no space except by shouting the verbal thugs down.
And in these matters, I'll leave the details to the worthy ladies and gentlemen of the law; we have lots of real and hopeful (not to mention wannabes) legal eagles in this land.
Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, we need to do a lot of discouraging of bullies and legal thuggery coupled with teaching all of us, beginning with all our children, how to recognize and defend ourselves against such thuggery. The Sermon on the Mount, properly explained, includes some instances of such nonviolent resistance which might also be termed moral jujitsu: using the adversary's weight and motion to throw him or her.
We also need one or more truth-in-reporting laws which, with luck, might put certain 'news' networks out of business. And most of us know which ones, am I right?
If anyone has other suggested remedies for these problems which might be at least as good as what I suggest here, let them come forward now and share their ideas with the rest of us.
This is something of a new legal frontier, sure, but can any one of us deny that such laws are very sorely needed? If anyone thinks so, let them stand forth and put their case. For real, I mean; no hypotheticals or fictional plaintiffs allowed!

BASED ON LIES OR TRUTH? CHOOSE!

"A lie can travel halfway round the world while the truth is still putting its boots on." Mark Twain

Our reactionaries and fascists seem bent on bearing out the truth of this saying to the point of rubbing all our faces in it!
First (and these are only the most recent and egregious cases) the Taney Court 2.0 has 'decided' not one, but two, cases with no actual plaintiffs!! The 'case' which struck down Student Loan Forgiveness was not brought by any actually injured party but by a group with no direct interest in the outcome!! And then, they go and 'decide' an essentially hypothetical case because the supposed 'defendant' in the case of the bigoted web designer is actually straight and has been married to a woman for fifteen years! And, sez I, may they continue as happily for at least another fifteen! But you see the point; the 'plaintiff' actually made up the 'defendant' and yet the Taney Court 2.0 took no notice of this!!!
It seems to me that the Taney Court was preparing pink triangles for same-sex couples. What think you, O Gentle Reader?
Second, a University of Chicago professor named Rebecca Journey was scheduled to offer a seminar this coming fall semester titled The Problem of Whiteness. An apparent young fascist named Daniel Schmidt was so agitated by this that he posted what are probably dishonest rhetorical questions on TikTok and Twitter about it. Professor Journey then received an avalanche of hate messages heavy enough for her to postpone her seminar till next spring semester.
Third and probably most egregious of all, a Louisiana federal court has enjoined the Biden administration against keeping anti-scientific, anti-vaccine cranks from spewing their utter, total, complete ROT on social media!!!
Obviously, much needs to be done to counteract these lies and knock all such liars into history's dustbin!
For starters, I suggest the courts need to be regulated in such a way that only individuals or organizations directly concerned or injured can bring suits. Suits must be real, not hypothetical; at least as real as the suits one can get at any Men's Wearhouse! No more suits by 'interested parties'; the place for them remains in amicus curiae briefs!
But as to Professor Journey's case, any solution needs to involve all of us who believe in multiracial, multiethnic, multi-faith, expanding democracy and in such a democratic republic that human history has not yet seen. All of us who believe in the truth and in justice that really is equal for all!
Many of my fellow liberals, who have been so well-brought up to be such Polite and Good Boys and Girls, won't like what I will say next. But I defy any and all of them to deny the ugly reality which makes this necessary.
 We will have to take time and answer whatever 'questions' from them as we can. We need to be 'battle-ready' in this respect. We also need to be battle-ready in answering their threats. We may need to do a little googling to refresh our memories about the more horrendous punishments of days gone by and use them in our replies to threats, basically daring them to try to carry them out and that no one will find their remains afterward.
The English ancestors of many of us, including me, had a particularly nasty way to deal with traitors (with which, at least verbally, we can threaten vicious liars as well) known as hanging, drawing and quartering. Only thing is, today we wouldn't be exhibiting pieces of their carcasses except electronically.
But my point is, we need to be ready to fight bare-knuckle against the fascists who hate both democracy and the rule of law--verbally and, maybe, otherwise. But let's be peaceable as long as we possibly can. For myself, I fairly itch to loose some verbal counterpart of boiling oil, or some politico-religious fire and brimstone on their dough-faced heads! And don't be afraid to go ad hominem/mulieram. Just keep that truthful, too, and as relevant as possible. Mehdi Hasan agrees with this, so it's not just me talking. Think about this, brothers and sisters, and let's prepare ourselves for a long, hard and sometimes bitter fight for truth, equal justice, and expanded democracy.
Ain't no Superman coming to save us; both George Reeves and Chris Reeve are long gone. It's just all of us who believe in the things I just named and know we must now fight for them. So let's do it!
