"Let’s be clear: “RIP to bro” doesn’t come close to a true threat under the law. It’s protected expression."

you can't just say that and have it be true, right?

threats need to be determined based on context as language evolves

it might be protected, it probably is, but maybe a judge needs to determine that

"'I will kill you' is protected expression, the only true threat under law as established by precedent is 'verily, I intend to fire my pistol twixt thine eyes ere the day ends'"

Unless Supreme Court precedent is overturned it's not a true threat. A "true threat" is a legal term with standards that must be met. This matches not a single one of them and you're required to match all of them.

Of course, I mean, obviously duh. Never in the history of the MRC's decades of attacking the "liberal media" have they ever come close to the things trans and lefty people say about the New York Times having mainstream positions.
