Why didn’t FIRE defend Douglass Mackey when he was prosecuted over a meme?

I'm just now familiarizing myself on the D Mackey case. You ask a good question that challenges FIRE's claim to nonpartisanship.

I take exception to classifying Athism and Agnosticism as "left-wing."

Me too. It may be true that lefties are more likely to be atheist or agnostic but there is no necessary connection. Libertarians are as non-left as you can get but most are atheist or agnostic.

I'm puzzled. Season 2 of DD was a not so thinly disguised attack on Trump and ICE. Is that what you liked about it or didn't see that? The writers admitted it. It's Ok to like it or dislike it because of that but kind of strange to not acknowledge it.

I suggest reading the comments to Greg's NYT article. The top comments liked by thousands demonstrate the utter disdain the leftist readers of the NYT have for freedom of speech.
