    President Trump's campaign issued a complaint causing the removal of Nick Anderson's political cartoon from @redbubble. Today, we're leading a coalition calling on Redbubble to affirm its commitment to the First Amendment and reinstate Mr. Anderson's work. bit.ly/3d3GPj6

    Good news from the Virginia Beach courthouse re Gender Queer obscenity case - the judge found the VA statute unconstitutional on 1st Amendment/due process grounds! /jt

    It’s officially over: the Virginia Beach court ruling that found the statute used against Gender Queer to be unconstitutional wasn’t appealed by the deadline, so the judgment stands. Thanks again to you all for supporting our work defending the book in this important case! /jt

    The First Amendment protects Mr. Anderson, Redbubble, and any other merchant providing a platform to publish parody, critique and satire of public officials. We strongly urge Redbubble to reinstate Mr. Anderson’s work. Read our full response here: bit.ly/3d3GPj6

    What made this title seem so funny was that overrating Al Jaffee was impossible to do. RIP, and thanks. /jt

    Texas SB20 just passed. We attempted behind the scenes to make the bill align with constitutional standards and to remove the comics reference, but given the subject of the bill, getting enough people on board to amend it – let alone stop it – didn't work out.
