Sorry for my British ignorance here but I thought the MAGA lot were frothing free speachers?

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Speechers, even.

It's a game. Everybody shouts "Free speech" for themselves but ignores it for the other side
Currently the UK and Germany are using police power against pro-Palestinian voices.
Not a good look.

It's more about forced listening than free speech.

Quite.

What, you mean it was all an act and they just wanted the ability to say hateful things and be an asshole but are too soft skinned to actually stand up when they are being called an asshole.

Well, I'm surprised. Most surprised. Shocked even.

PS - I take it you're the same Carlton Reid that I used to speak with about eg Selle Royale when I worked for Shift and you were on (I think) Bike Biz?

Yes. But now mostly write about tech for likes of @wired.com rather than bikes.

Had seen a lot of Forbes, still quote the research on cyclist vs driver criminality from Denmark.

I'm now back doing tech rather than bikes, was fun while the bike race lasted.
