Free speech protects humor and parody. It does not protect false accusations that ruin lives. When Big Tech claims “we don’t assess the truth,” that is not neutrality.

RFK Jr. blasts Governor Walz for not understanding the first amendment: “We’re in a very frightening time now where we are seeing the normalization of censorship. I saw this quote Governor Walz, said last year where he said that the First Amendment is not absolute, that it does not protect misinformation or disinformation, and he is legally wrong there, it does protect that. The First Amendment protects speech, true speech, and it protects lies. It protects good speech, and it protects bad speech. It protects all speech.” They didn't pass the First Amendment to protect speech that everybody likes. They passed it to protect the speech that's inconvenient, that's abhorrent, that nobody wants to hear, that's dangerous.” “Louis Brandeis said that the remedy for bad speech, the remedy for lies is not censorship, it's more speech. If we don't understand that, we will lose democracy for sure.”

The First Amendment protects peaceful assembly. It does not protect mobs invading private property. You cannot storm a church and call it free speech. That is a violation of civil rights.

The First Amendment protects hateful speech. But that protection does not mean that others are absolved of the moral obligation to confront it with the truth.

In America, we have founding principles that protect and guarantee free speech, open dialogue, free press, and access to that speech without undue barriers. Our leaders should not lament that—they should celebrate it and fight to protect it.

The first amendment does not exist to protect polite speech that everyone agrees with. It exists to protect speech that people - or the government - find “offensive.” That’s the whole point. And that protection extends to Shiloh Hendrix.

The First Amendment protects Americans’ sacred rights of free speech and assembly. But it does not protect interference with lawful police activity—which is what the criminals in LA are doing. The riots must be quelled. Thankfully, we have real leadership in the White House.

Islamic scholar claims: “Islam loves and protects gay and trans people. We protect all minorities.” Will that still be true when they become the majority?

Trump just called anyone who voice their free speech and claims that the U.S. isn't winning the war "treasonous." “Their navy is gone… Then we get people who say ‘we are not winning.’ We get the radical left to say ‘We aren’t winning. We’re not winning.’ They don’t have any military left. It’s actually. It’s actually. I believe it’s treasonous. You want to know the truth? It’s treasonous.” Free speech is no longer a thing.

🇬🇧🇵🇸🇮🇱 During a protest against ethnic cleansing in Britain: Support ethnic cleansing — ✅ “free speech.” Oppose ethnic cleansing — 🚔 “public order issue.” When free speech protects the call for violence but punishes the call against it… that’s not neutrality. That’s a contradiction. Make it make sense. 🤔⚖️

I have had more abuse on this platform than anywhere else but I still oppose any attempt by government to ban or control X. It is not their job to protect us from opinions. Free speech means just that, free. Censorship only protects those in power who have something to hide. And that is exactly why they want X silenced. And that is exactly why it must not.

In America, we don’t punish political enemies –– we protect free speech. You can disagree with just about everything he stood for, but Charlie Kirk encouraged debate and insisted on exercising his right to free speech, even when it was controversial. We will not stay quiet while this Administration tries to silence critics for speaking their minds. We will fight to protect that right for every American.

An analysis from Grok reveals that I’ve been censored for speaking abt Israel, Epstein, & even ICE. Not that my reporting has been false. Simply reporting the facts as they are. This is the real reason Elon bought X. Not to protect free speech. But to control speech for his masters.

Don’t tell me a man can become a woman. Don’t tell me a man can get pregnant. It’s NOT true, and we cannot root our society in things that are false. The truth will set us free.

Rapper Afroman is the free speech hero America needs. After beating a defamation case filed against him by seven cops, he showed that the First Amendment protects satire and parody, even if it bruises a few egos. FIRE’s glad Afroman loves free speech just as much as we do.👏

Draymond Green says it’s not a big deal that Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown didn’t hangout off the court much: “That sh*t don’t matter. We all have different lives…. Does not mean they didn’t like each other. It simply means we don’t carry the same interests off the basketball court. None of you people who sit and judge hangout with every colleague that you work with. But for some reason when it comes to basketball players, if two guys don’t hangout, it’s a big issue?” (Via The Draymond Green Show)

ABC News: Libertarian MP John Ruddick will introduce legislation next week repealing the hate speech laws.'' 'We now know it was a criminal con job that whipped up the hysteria. Laws are not made well in that environment. We need to soberly assess things. Is NSW happy with the idea that a wacky criminal conspiracy has now eroded our free speech principles?'

Of course, the Mexicans are not so crazy to do it, but the Ukrainians are, I'm sorry to say. Jeffrey Sachs: My view is completely different, which is that if you're Ukraine, you be different, which is that if you're Ukraine, you be neutral, and it's your neutrality that protects you, protects Europe, and protects Russia. It's what's called indivisible security. A neutral Ukraine is the safest possible thing for Ukraine to start with but it also protects Europe. It also protects Russia.
