Blake Trumply and her ilk are a menace to free speech. This is terrifying. Great analysis about how this is a MUCH larger issue than just one privileged diva throwing a temper tantrum because she didn't get her way. These people in power have zero second thoughts about ruining people's lives and twisting our legal system to get what they want. DISGUSTING.

Wow. Who knew.

Thank you for making connections from across our current sordid social and media landscape.

bl seems to be an alcolyte of dt: over reach in all matters, structure and promote your own version of reality, litigate those who could never defend against your resources, calmly acknowledge that you "require authorship" as if doing so is a virtue, generate constant media attention, and matter-of-factly violate common decency and constitutional rights as often as breathing. It matters that she disrupts, maybe bankrupts, the lives of many, and has done so with apparent immunity. Because folks often perceive her issues as frivolous, they ignore her methods, which are as dangerous as dt's. Lifting this up is a sad warning that we all need to heed; if she is allowed to succeed, our very challenged legal system may fail because dt has "cleared the way," very innocent people will lose life resources, women will stop attempting to move forward, and many will see that destroying lives is possible, and permissible.

I think she is a sick and sad excuse for a woman. Who the fuck does she think she is, and why can't she stop....remind you of someone? Maybe she keeps a strap-on under her designer clothes..She seems to me in need of mental health assistance.

Blame the absence of SLAPP laws at the federal level.

Lively needs to get over herself. I used to enjoy her playful back-and-forth tweets with Ryan. And she had some other interesting posts. Now she's a boor.
