Ain’t it weird that the same people who scream “First Amendment” are the ones who want to ban books they don’t like and also want a national religion.

Safety-security concerns behind cancellation of showing of Jewish-made documentary critical of Israel at Hunter #College in NYC; #faculty, #students and staff call cancellation a violation of academic freedom, #FreeSpeech #FirstAmendment.

Undecided voters, ask yourselves how happy you’d be living in an actual dictatorship where you could go to jail for saying the wrong thing. A republic without democracy is like Viktor Orban’s Hungary, a one party state where power is always controlled by a small group of oligarchs. Trump has stated that he wants to repress his enemies and form a police state perpetually under martial law, Biden would never do that. If you love democracy and don’t want to lose it for good, then vote for Biden.

2/ A reply someone got when they disagreed with the👇🏼 account below (after the one below replied w "Free speech is important" to my above toot):

"yeah, all I've got are these two stupid law degrees... Please tell me about constitutional law and what Donald Trump did that makes it so, so obvious that the protections of the first amendment no longer apply to him."

I'm no lawyer, but my understanding is, when your speech endangers lives, you get gag ordered.

It would be extremely helpful if some people could get over the idea that the state and government of Israel represents all Jewish people everywhere, something Jewish people even in Israel keep telling us is not true.

The state of our union would be much stronger if not for Kyrsten Sinema.
