The Respect for Marriage Act is a positive step for the protection of individual rights. As long as state governments play a role in validating marriages, no state should discriminate on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, or nat’l origin. It’s about basic equality before the law.

Russia’s legislative assault on independent media outlets over allegations that they spread dangerous misinformation should be a reminder to people everywhere that no state should have the power to dictate to anyone what is false and unsuitable for public consideration.

The First Amendment protects the spreading of misinformation in almost every context. It does so because what’s widely perceived as false may at times be unpopular truth. It recognizes that human progress is built upon the advancement of ideas the majority once did not accept.

When you stop blaming all government wrongdoing on a few bad apples (or one bad party) and instead confront the systemic corruption, abuses, and injustices that derive from concentrated power, you’ll be on track to addressing the problems.
