@DrALJONES where are the free speech warriors

@classwario

Edit: depending on your pov:

Most are either in jail or under US sanctions or silenced via legal proceedings or threats to harm their families or doxxing or injury or firebombing or death.. etc. You name it, they're copping it.

@DrALJONES It’s true. Those who use speech to speak against the regime are punished. And treated oppositely to the free speech proponents that argued for an anything goes rhetoric, which put the administration in power, which allowed it to punish its enemies for speech.

Charlie Kirk would be proud. Erica Kirk should feel shameful hypocrisy.

@classwario

that's what I meant about pov. They're fakes & must be called out as such.

Oligarchs put Trump in power.

Why is a group of billionaires working to re-elect Trump?

Oligarchs like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel aren’t just hostile to progressivism. They’re hostile to American democracy itself
