When you create a tool to restrict speech, don’t be shocked when it’s turned on you.
One day the shoe will switch feet - and I promise you the boot won’t hurt any less just because you wore it first

Getting suspended by the uni is one thing. Getting arrested is another. The Israel-Gaza conflict is (was?) a foreign war. Why can't Britons take sides? I favour Israel's. If he'd chanted "Ukraine Ukraine make us proud! Put the orcs all in the ground!" would he have been arrested?

🚨 UPDATE: An Oxford University student has been arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred after chants called on Gaza to “put the Zios in the ground”, The Telegraph can reveal. Read more: telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/10/1…

Has anyone else had “Claire” from Evri helping them over email?
The website chatbot said it was escalating my issue to a human, so I naively assumed Claire was real… but after a quick search, it looks like she’s just another bot sending out scheduled emails.
(Please reply)

We've reached a new level of terminal inanity.
There is no definition of "doxxing," generally accepted or otherwise, that would include simply saying where ICE agents have been spotted.
The entirre concept of doxxing relates to the disclosure of private personal information.

To be clear: lol,
In fact, I will be very loud, but in the other direction: ICE agents should be shunned by decent society for long after this moment has passed.
Abuse of power is not simply an idea people have. It's a thing people do, or are complicit in.
Joe Bingham@teafortillerman
To be clear, I'm not asking for @AriCohn to be silenced. I'm asking him to repent and apologize very loudly, in fact.

two notable things about this, which I had to watch slowly a few times to be sure of: the photographers were not touching or impeding the agents, and the agents physically attacked the photographers *before* saying 'get out of the fucking elevator'.
Molly Crane-Newman@molcranenewman
Footage taken by @Steffikeith this morning of ICE agents shoving photographers on assignment at 26 Federal Plaza. One journalist has been hospitalized.

The money is coming straight from the Crown Prince, who actively executes journalists, ppl wnonlethal drug offenses, bloggers, etc w/out due process. A lot of the “you can’t say anything anymore!” Comedians are doing the festival 😂 they had to adhere to censorship rules to do it

Surely a better solution would be to wait and put the flag back up rather than risk killing or seriously injuring a likely near-minimum wage worker.
People in the comments saying the worker shouldn’t just “follow orders” need to get a grip. Taking down a flag isn’t a genocide

The council wants to take a Union Jack down. British 🇬🇧 patriots have other ideas.

they picked people who on every level have no idea what they are doing to incompetently blunder around changing the vaccine schedule

I'm not looking forward to this. at some point someone has to love our country and Constitution more than we hate our enemies. next president and Congress should pass laws to enable the victims of this - on either side - to sue the gov more easily so it can never happen again.

Looking forward to when the next democrat president kicks Hannity off the air and forces him to donate to Planned Parenthood.

If your argument is "now we do the same to you" you're not only just as bad but worse.
To all the sins of your rivals you must add hypocrisy and spite to your own.

Sorry, but the FCC was established by FDR to impose public standards on broadcasters and used by JFK to pressure station managers into dropping right-wing radio programs. The "shoe has been on the other foot" for almost a hundred years. Turnabout is fair play.

Some of the same people who laughed & jeered when a right-wing nutjob bludgeoned Paul Pelosi’s skull with a hammer now want folks fired for criticizing Charlie Kirk after his murder. Moral rot in the U.S. runs deep, and it's bipartisan.
Michael Tracey@mtracey
Anyone who was on this site in October 2022 remembers that when Paul Pelosi, an elderly man, was randomly attacked in his home by an intruder, GOP influencers were giddy, and many (like Musk) fabricated a tale that it was some gay lovers' quarrel. Spare us the civility lectures

"Throwing shade" is protected by the First Amendment, and in no arena is it more protected than the political one.
Government punishment of political criticism or insult is unconstitutional and un-American.
Ari Cohn@AriCohn
I also had some thoughts about Brendan Carr's latest attempt to use the FCC as a partisan censorship weapon.

@FreyaIsBack @JamesSurowiecki Trump was found civilly liable for sexual assault in court. Therefore, the statement is non-actionable, even if he had been a private citizen. As a public figure and president, it is definitely not actionable.
No court has found that the 2020 election, writ large, was fraudulent
English
@JamesSurowiecki Apples to oranges.
I support Freedom of Speech but calling someone a “sexual assaulter” can be considered slander and defamation under the law which is NOT protected under the First Amendment. People saying Trump won the 2020 election is not the same.
English

Now we're just trying to cancel anyone who offers a political opinion you find distasteful? Should businesses and schools be encouraged to fire everyone who claims, falsely, that Trump won the 2020 election?

Meet Erik Viker. He’s the Dept. Head of Theatre at Susquehanna University. “To be clear, Republicans are bad people” “They deserve nothing good” How can any Republican student feel safe with Viker as a professor? He’s running for mayor of 📍Selinsgrove, PA

The Trump administrations attacks on free speech are escalating daily. When will someone stand up to them?

ABC has swiftly and spinelessly caved to government jawboning and suspended Kimmel indefinitely. My additional statement on this disappointing development ⤵️
English
Jack Lawrence retweetledi
BREAKING UPDATE: The government pressured ABC — and ABC caved. The timing of ABC's decision, on the heels of the FCC chairman’s pledge to the network to “do this the easy way or the hard way,” tells the whole story. Another media outlet withered under government pressure, ensuring that the administration will continue to extort and exact retribution on broadcasters and publishers who criticize it.
We cannot be a country where late night talk show hosts serve at the pleasure of the president. But until institutions grow a backbone and learn to resist government pressure, that is the country we are.

We’ve got to stop treating each other as clip farms for viral moments.
Other people aren’t content fodder - they’re human beings who deserve dignity, respect, and, above all, a little charity.
English
To be clear: I’m taking no position on whether the barista should’ve written his full name - reasonable people can argue it either way.
What is distasteful is the manufactured outrage from some on the right, and Starbucks refusing to publicly back their own employee.
English
This is getting a little hysterical, no?
The barista even offered to write “Charlie,” & Starbucks is hanging her out to dry in a mealy-mouthed statement.
People can disagree on the full name, but treating it as a scandal is absurd. Did the customer want a drink or a viral clip?
Libs of TikTok@libsoftiktok
OMG Starbucks won’t write the name Charlie Kirk on a cup because “it’s political” Wtf is going on @Starbucks???
