People are putting up and ripping down signs about hostages and casualties of war. People filming people filming, people losing jobs. We have a lot of questions.

What consequences constitute "cancellation"? Is silencing a form of speech? What does the first amendment have to say about all of this? (And yes, cards on the table — we've got a lot more questions than answers.)

We should probably ask, too: posting and ripping and firing and yelling... does any of it ever move the needle?

Music: Naseer Shamma's solo oud from Baghdad in the intro, and Trace Adkins' "Help Me Understand" at the end.
