“Laugh and fear not, creatures . . . you need not always be grave. For jokes as well as justice come in with speech.” — Aslan, The Magician’s Nephew

You mean you couldn’t care less. If you could care less, then you care at least a little bit.

Promising to allow more lawful speech from a wide range of perspectives is quite the opposite of chasing people away.

"I'm being chased away!" said the silly woman when she saw the, "All are welcome here, even conservatives and comedians" sign.

Only the government knows what’s true and good. I see no issue here.

“We’re taking a stand for censorship.”

"As much as it stung to be told that I’d done well in the seminary despite my race, it was far worse to feel that I was now at Yale because of it." — Justice Clarence Thomas on the condescension of affirmative action

That’s because affirmative action is systemic racism.

"You can't blame us for being awful in the name of love. We knew so little!"

If your haughty condemnation of others was rooted in ignorance, then it was all the more shameful. The only thing you should have to say at this point is, "I'm sorry. And it will never happen again."

It wasn't just condemnation. It was coercion. An unabating effort to try and force compliance with masks, mandates, and lockdowns through shaming, manipulation, and guilt. It was gross and egregious. It bordered on malevolent.

This NY Times op-ed gets it backwards. Late-night TV isn't funny because they're just a bunch of outraged moralists who identify as comedians. In reality, liberals are killing comedy with their preachiness and pathetic intolerance of jokes they don't like.

You’re not just a private company if you’re colluding with the government to censor speech. You’re an unconstitutional arm of the state.

It doesn't take an expert to see that racial discrimination is racist. It takes an expert *not* to see it.

You can’t be wrong about anything. You can’t even speculate about anything. You can only be right. And right is whatever the Government says it is. THAT is free speech.

The vast majority of the people you castigated and shamed merely said vaccination should be a personal choice. Few, if any, decried mere “support” for vaccines.

Lmao at the Congresswoman who thinks the free in free speech is a reference to cost, not liberty.

Paying a fee for optional verification is not the same as paying a fee to speak.

You tweeted this from an Android device. Not everyone has access to Android devices, apps, cellular service, etc.

Also, charging for verification doesn’t exclude anyone from public discourse.

Also, you’re a racist.

The Babylon Bee joins The Onion in urging SCOTUS to defend the First Amendment against an Ohio law that makes parody a felony.

Yes, huge respect to Elon Musk. Stepping into this arena to fight this particular battle must be as daunting as it is thankless. I couldn't imagine taking on scorn from all sides for the benefit of the very people who were heaping it on me.

Occasionally Elon walks by our cell with the keys to our freedom jingling on his hip. And every time we reach for them he backs away and says, "Eight dollars."

If you prefer to silence and suppress people who say things you don't like—as opposed to merely blocking, muting, or ignoring them—then you're more dangerous than anything they might say.

You could also try reasoning with or refuting them. Those are healthy, non-evil options, too.

If you're a filthy fascist then you deserve to have the government and big tech work together to rip out your tongue and compel your compliance.

We must fight fascism with fascism.
