Bants and Brainstorms: Top Comments This Week On Techdirt

Experts have learned their lesson when it comes to engaging in debates with RFK Jr.

This week, our top spot for insightful comments goes to MrWilson, who had this to say about ICE arresting Brad Lander:

The racists who crave cheap labor are clashing with the ones dreaming of a white ethnostate.

That wraps it up for this week!
