The people destroying free speech are those constantly spreading lies & those who are not condemning the lying liars. For the life of me I do not understand how ppl do not believe that along with free speech, comes the obligation speak truth.

Activist Are not what they used to be their NGOs sponsored by billionaires to do the dirty work for them NGOs are cons they do nothing no protest group has done nothing in 60 years in America.

the activist pressure seems more directed at limiting the toxic lying by the MAGA crowd.
