Thank you for adding your voice in support of this petition. It's not difficult to tell who the Nazis are when they proudly claim the label, and use it to monetize their terrible ideas. We must stand up together against their hate — and refuse to accept inaction on the part of people in power.

"Nazis are good only for killing."--My uncle, lead navigator of a B-26 squadron, USAAF, 1944-45.

"For me, the most horrible day(in WWII) was when the Germans(German-Americans) marched by the Alamo waving Nazi flags after Paris fell. The City of Light. And they were celebrating. It was horrible. How could this happen in San Antonio?"--My mother, remembering June 1940.

That's MY family's heritage and attitude towards Nazis, an attitude which I share. HOWEVER, they have the right to political free speech, too. That is the price demanded of us by the First Amendment if we are to enjoy its protections for ourselves.

Substack is functioning more and more as a public square. I hope its owners keep their resolve to protect the right to free speech to which ALL Americans are entitled. That includes you, me, the Uhuru movement currently being persecuted by the Biden Administration, everyone who supports Julian Assange, and, like it or not, and to be honest I really DON'T, bloodydamned Nazis.

This used to be the ACLU's position. It's still mine.

I saw an interview in which the CEO of Substack was pressed on this topic and he wouldn't even address it. I want to write on this platform but that interview dissuaded me from doing so.

Wow, Talia, please go to TwitterX and do this as well. I have not seen a nazi here yet, but If I do, I will kill them (with my pen, of course). (No, not by using the pen to jab at the Nazi trachea, but by penetrating the man's asshole with my words.) Sorry, not a fan of Nazis and was surprised by your article. Never Forget, as grandma would say.
