Elon Musk’s hypocrisy about free speech hits a new low
It’s ‘free speech for me, but not for thee’ in his world – he doesn’t like it, he sues
A few days ago, he threatened to sue the Anti-Defamation League – for defamation, no less – blaming the non-profit for driving billions of dollars in advertising from his company. The ADL has criticized Twitter for failing to take action against hate speech.....

This is a crystal clear example of #unconstitutional viewpoint #discrimination. #Bigoted state #officials do not get to violate the #FirstAmendment just because they don't like #gays existing in public, and engaging in activities that everyone else can freely engage in. Where are the fuckin #lawsuits??

"their confrontation in April marked an escalation in long-running tensions between a group of local #journalists and the officials and community members they cover that would boil over through the summer.
The small-town intrigue might have stayed in a small town, though, had Cody not... led half a dozen officers on an Aug. 11 raid of the Record’s offices and the home of its editor and publisher"

"The problem... is that attacks on a free and fair press are not rare at all. Indeed, such attacks have become distressingly commonplace.
When powerful people go after #journalists and #news outlets, they go after everyone. They go after publications’ readers. They go after voters who use information reported to make decisions...
Ultimately, they go against the constitutional order of this country, which guarantees #FirstAmendment rights to everyone."

"Corporate journalism both failed to respond adequately to the GOP’s attacks on the press over the years and to recognize that scrutinizing policing would bring the same kind of authoritarian backlash.
While Republicans called for journalists’ violent deaths, editors and producers gave cover treatment to commentators who joked about bombing them."

"The Right's war on the fourth estate is nothing new. But when cops raided a rural Kansas newspaper office and its editors’ homes over an investigation in progress, a new horrifying precedent was set."

Someone needs to explain how the #FirstAmendment works to these #fascist #Republicans. The #state MAY NOT restrict access to ideas that #conservatives don't like. They MAY NOT #discriminate on the basis of #ideas they don't like. It's a little something called #viewpointDiscrimination, and it's been explicitly prohibited since the founding of our #nation. Interestingly, it's a concept that was opposed by the #rightwing prior to 2016. Hmmm.... 🤔

"The Aug. 11 police raid sparked outrage among #FirstAmendment advocates and #news organizations across the nation. Officers seized computers, phones and other records during the search, a virtually unprecedented event in recent American history. Meyer’s home also was searched...
The Record said stress from the raid contributed to the sudden death the following day of Meyer’s 98-year-old mother, Joan, a co-owner of the newspaper."

Photographs of the Marion County Record #newspaper office that was illegally raided by police.
"The fall of local #journalism has been precipitous — a source of heartbreak and concern for many. I’ve spent two years photographing newspaper offices across my home state of Kansas. In #Marion, these concerns — about community, division, #democracy and #FirstAmendment rights — have collided."
