Short of calling for violence, people should be able to say whatever they want to say and read whatever they want to read.

The problem is they are louder on the right.

For the last time freedom of speech does not allow you to run around and lie and spread hate without consequences. It gives you the freedom to be critical of your government without consequences. Stop bastardizing the constitution all of you stupid stupid people.

Unless it’s in a book - republicans will ban it. Or in a school- republicans will ban it. Or on twitter .... Wait that doesn’t apply at all ....

And then people should be pressed to put up the proof behind what the say is true. But people are too lazy to do so.

I'm going to go with 'justified violence' as part of protected speech.

Thank you for your service!

Personally I see the word 'should' as a swearword. Id value it being banned. I believe it enables a power-over approach, and although many of us were habituated to the word 'should' in childhood, no good comes from it. Do you see it differently?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes but the problem is there are groups today that define “calling for violence” in ways that are ridiculous, pernicious, and chilling

But this is even worse. How can SB sign this? gottheimer.house.gov/news/do…
