[pictured] Excerpts from a 2016 amicus brief by the ACLU
arguing the unconstitutionality of the Espionage Act.
Get ready for lots of people to conveniently forget about all this.

Some examples of previous Espionage Act prosecutions Two years in
prison for saying: “This is a war fostered by Morgan and the rich"
Five years in prison for saying: "America was buncoed into the war by
munition makers"
The National Civil Liberties Bureau, which would later be
reconstituted as the ACLU, was formed in direct response to the 1917
passage of the Espionage Act, and would go on to have its offices
raided under the claimed auspices of the Espionage Act
May 4, 1918 — Sioux Falls, S. D. — Conrad Kornmann receives 10 years
and $1,000 fine for opposing the Liberty Loan in a letter to a friend
May 28, 1918 — New Britain, Conn — John Kunz convicted for remarking,
"Young men are fools to enlist and go across to be blown up"
March 6, 1918 — Fargo, N.D. — Henry von Bank convicted for alleged
statement, "I would rather see a pair of old trousers flying from the
school house flag pole than an American flag.” Conviction reversed on
appeal.
2. In 1918 the founder of the Democrat "Sewer Socialist Movement",
Congressman Victor Berger, and three others were charged under the
Espionage (spying) Act (enacted in 1917), convicted in 1919 or 1920.
