Wow, that& #39;s bold.

I am confident I am in the right place, Leigh.

And that letter wasn& #39;t about defending civil liberties or free expression, especially as it relates to state interference. A vague letter about & #39;debate& #39; in this context is not inherently about defending speech. https://twitter.com/Leigh_Phillips/status/1280908461769809921">https://twitter.com/Leigh_Phi...
And I can understand Chomsky (or anyone& #39;s) defense of free expression, especially given long and tumultuous history of free speech being used to target Wobblies, jail and deport dissidents, shut down newspapers & events, weaponized for Red Scare and BDS etc. But that isn& #39;t this.
And me being & #39;head& #39; of anything isnt really that relevant, except that as first non-lawyer + non-white + non-male in any senior position in this org brings with it daily stream of being told where i do and don& #39;t belong and questioning of my capabilities. Debate me, not my job ffs
