Minnesota’s “Nudification” Ban Repeats Unconstitutional Errors of Early Revenge Porn Bills

Politics & Policy

[ad_1] More than a decade ago, states began enacting laws to prohibit so-called “revenge porn.” Some partners would voluntarily exchange sexual photographs, but after the relationship ended, one of the partners would share the intimate images as a form of revenge. Later, the term “non-consensual pornography” became more common, as the pictures were not always shared by former partners. Many of the early bills imposed what was effectively a strict liability standard without any scienter requirement. Over time, these bills were modified to include a scienter requirement, and these guardrails were essential to survive strict scrutiny. While I doubted the…

The GOP’s Fading Economic Advantage

Geopolitics & War

[ad_1] As the 2026 midterms approach, a nationwide poll released in early August delivered a warning that goes to the heart of the Republican Party’s political identity: for the first time in nearly a decade, voters said Democrats were better stewards of the economy than Republicans.

It was a hoax, they insisted, and a slander against the German people. No one, especially no one with liberal views, would have considered joining them as they denied the reality and horror of 20th-century genocide. The new genocide deniers are a very different breed. They often see themselves as tolerant, open-minded, and liberal. On some issues,…

The Kyle Anzalone Show guest Amb. CHAS FREEMAN: Will Trump’s Low Key Negotiation Work?

Economy & Power

[ad_1] A threat is not a strategy, and it definitely is not a negotiating position. We sit down with Ambassador Chas Freeman to unpack why talk of “decapitation,” demands for compensation, and shifting US red lines do not move Iran toward a deal, they push everything toward attrition and escalation. Freeman argues credibility is the real currency of diplomacy, and once a country’s signature stops meaning what it says, rivals and allies start planning around that reality. We dig into the memorandum of understanding that was supposed to set basic terms for de-escalation, including constraints on threats, questions around sanctions…
