That doesn’t change when it’s a church beseeching the state to punish speech that allegedly interferes with the church’s donation stream.

I guess invading #citizens' #privacy wasn't enough for them so Texas will also require adult websites trumpet #disinformation too. I mean, of course they would, right? 😒 😠

If you are a #government official using a personal #SocialMedia account to post #PublicInformation or notices, you've made that a government forum where commentary is #ProtectedSpeech and blocking is not allowed under the #FirstAmendment (#freespeech and #petition).
If there's not an official social media site for you to use, open a second account. If you mingle government function and personal media, that's on you.

But the #constitution does provide a decent framework by which corporations might determine their philosophy and operations. #ProtectedSpeech #HateSpeech #FirstAmendment #CancelCulture

Do I need a #constitutional #lawyer or just any #lawyer to get town to acknowledge, in writing, sign is #protectedspeech and promise not to #retaliate. My sense is to hire the biggest, baddest lawyer and go in w/guns blazing. What say you real #lawyers?
