My contempt and loathing for people who talk about the Trump/Musk GOP supposedly being on the side of free speech grows every day.

Reposted from Alexander Howard

Peaceful protest is protected under our First Amendment: freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of the press.

Trump threatening to pull federal funding from schools over Americans protesting is unconstitutional on several levels.

It’s authoritarian overreach & must be repudiated.

If peaceful protest is not allowed then there really is only one other option.

So, American students protesting are going to be sent back to their country of origin? Oh, OK Prez Moron. Makes sense.

"NO MASKS!" No shit, he wants us dead!

free speech is just a dog whistle for these people, they don't mean all speech, they mean hate speech.

Claim: Trump is a man of faith. Truth: He wouldn't know the difference between the Eucharist and a ukulele.

reliablenarrator.bsky.social•5 days ago

Indeed. Trump is ALWAYS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE CLAIMS! Claim: Trump says he's a genius businessman. Truth: He's a fraudulent scoundrel. Claim: He's for the working man. Truth: He's actually an elite who is just way more boorish and ignorant. Claim: He's a patriot. Truth: He's a traitor.

We’re going to have Kent State again.

Every single Republican in the House and Senate need to be asked if they support this bullshit

They will say whatever it takes to not be tossed out of an open window.

We severely need to correct for what freedom of speech even fucking means. It has been thoroughly wrenched into solely meaning the freedom to be a racist shitbag instead of, y'know, protesting and reporting on government excess.

And that has to mean "freedom from consequences," not just freedom from hostile governmental action.

I know you support FIRE as a free speech org but they are one of the biggest proponents of separating protest from speech as protected and it is hurting the first amendment.

I guess he looked at Kent State and figured he could get a higher score

Will you be expelling the right wing MAGA hats too Donold?

Thinking about the grad student at Harvard who voted for Trump to support "Viewpoint Diversity".

Of all of the lies. Many many lies, this one is the biggest.

Never forget that the Republican doctrine is "We get to do what we want, and we get to tell you what to do"

I’m sure Shellenberger and Taibbi will be right on this.

I'm looking forward to all the condemnations of Trump by the "Twitter files" people...

(TBF, some will condemn Trump, but not nearly enough of them will do so.)
