In case you haven’t heard, the most significant free speech case in the United States is still ongoing. Despite Douglass Mackey’s recent 7-month federal prison sentence for sharing an anti-Hillary meme nearly 8 years ago, he remains steadfast in his fight. He’s prepared to take this battle all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States, not only to vindicate himself but also to reaffirm the importance of free speech within the American ethos.
This is a fascinating and frightening case, and if you haven’t heard about it or want to learn more, we encourage you to read Revolver’s in-depth piece on this blatant attack on a young man and the free speech all Americans hold dear:
We also strongly recommend watching the recent eye-opening interview conducted by Tucker Carlson with Mr. Mackey:
Ep. 38 The First Amendment is done. Douglass Mackey is about to go to prison for mocking Hillary Clinton on the internet. We talked to him right before his sentencing. Remember as you watch that this could be you.

In the meantime, President Trump has also championed Douglass Mackey’s cause, addressing the case in a recent speech to the American people. He referred to it as the “weaponization of government” and criticized the Biden regime for sending a young American to prison simply for sharing a funny meme online.

President Trump is spot-on, and because this case is so important to every single American, we hope he continues to champion Mr. Mackey’s cause. As mentioned earlier, Douglass Mackey is determined to challenge this unjust and sham conviction all the way to the Supreme Court. However, he can’t do it without your help and support. Please consider making a donation to Mr. Mackey’s legal defense fund, so he can vigorously defend your right to freedom of speech and the sharing of funny memes in the United States of America:

There was an update in the case recently. Douglass Mackey described it on his Substack:
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals just overruled the District Court in granting our motion for bond pending appeal. This ruling is huge because it means that the appeals court decided that my appeal presents “substantial” and “debatable” issues of law that, if resolved in my favor, will result in my conviction being vacated. The prosecution, on the other hand, argued that my appeal was frivolous and that this was a typical election crime case like any other in U.S. history (see PDF links to the motions filed in this appeal at the bottom). The panel deciding on my bond appeal consisted of one Obama appointee, one Biden appointee, and one Trump appointee. This is a very encouraging step towards vindication.
…
None of the three honorable judges noted a dissent in granting the order.
If we lose the appeal in the Second Circuit, we will swiftly file an appeal with the Supreme Court.
