How many of us are blocked by Ritchie Torres? According to SCOTUS new ruling, we can sue politicians for this now. Do we have a class action lawsuit?


@joma_gc

BREAKING: In a unanimous ruling, SCOTUS rules that members of the public can sue public officials for blocking or muting them on social media.

The court establishes a new test for lower courts to determine if a public official’s speech is a “state action”; writing they must “possess the authority to speak for the state” and “purport to exercise that authority.”
