In the legal sense, they kinda are. The Constitution only applies to the Jurisdiction of America, so it's a necessary requirement that you have the privilege of being an American citizen.

Every privilege not defined in the constitution is conditional.
A government big enough to give you everything is also a government big enough to take it all away.
That action of government seizure can't fall under free speech, or we would have court cases for example claiming Biden shut down the XL pipeline as retaliation for Republicans running against him, thus prohibiting free speech. Or cases claiming Biden exempted millions of illegal aliens in an attempt to subvert the free speech of Americans. There is no legal standing for any of those cases.
In fact, Disney today is free to vocalize opposition to becoming a Florida tax-payer, and they do so with paid lobbyists. No court would argue this is not happening.

What is your point?
Maybe the same reason I clipped the definition of "facts" from the fraudster.
To expose the fraud.

What's so funny is this is a big FU to Trump as Trump bet the bank on Twitter failing, yet the uneducated masses think Musk is somehow helping Trump here by promoting free speech.

the solution to a failing school is to fix the school,
What if the parents don't want to fix a broken school when there's a working school within driving distance? You can reward a working school just as easily as rewarding a broken school with extra fixing money. Parents should be deciding who to reward.
The whole grooming thing is such a stupid talking point fueled by homophobia and bigotry.
Not really. Kids that are not exposed to sexual concepts at an early age are more likely to be confused and suspicious when a stranger introduces them to sexual themes.
This whole thing about picking schools to keep their kids away from learning about racism or the LGBTQ community is new
Maybe, but this particular cross the Teacher's Union has decided to die upon seems to be a ridiculous one.

@Double_R
Parents of the children they are trying to protect from sexual grooming also don't have a voice because the Left is strongly against choice in schools. Free speech would allow a parent to remove their child from teachers who groom.

The story isn't even about "true or false"
The evidence is in the picture, everyone can see the picture. Nobody argues the image of Biden holding his hand out with an open palm is a fake.
What's being argued as true or false is the interpretation of the picture. Imagine going to an art gallery and being told what the painting factually means by some truth authority.

@coal
a fact is:
- something that is generally not disputed
- by people in a position to know
- by those who can be relied on to accurately tell the truth
That’s it. When we talk about facts, we are usually attempting to get at truth. But the measurement of what qualifies as fact is that it meets those three criteria.

On a whim, I read the "textbook" that guy wrote.
I seriously doubt any of the mouthbreathing partisans on this site would ever do such a thing lol, but I was bored.
here is an excerpt from one of the chapters.
In general, you can try these moves in sequence. If you find success at any stage, your work might be done.
When you encounter a claim you want to check, your first move might be to see if sites like Politifact, or Snopes, or even Wikipedia have researched the claim (Check for previous work).
If you can’t find previous work on the claim, start by trying to trace the claim to the source. If the claim is about research, try to find the journal it appeared in. If the claim is about an event, try to find the news publication in which it was originally reported (Go upstream).
Maybe you get lucky and the source is something known to be reputable, such as the journal Science or the newspaper the New York Times. Again, if so, you can stop there. If not, you’re going to need to read laterally, finding out more about this source you’ve ended up at and asking whether it is trustworthy.
I can't even start on the endless list of critiques covering just this excerpt, let alone the entire book.

It's clear that if a child is exposed to any propaganda that claims to increase inclusiveness, a child will naturally likely embrace it.
You don't need thorough research to prove this to an average person since history has uncountable instances of this. (my profile pic as one example), but there are studies like the Milgram experiment.

What is your stance on circumcision?
There's not a lot of evidence circumcised males in the USA kill themselves at rates significantly higher than the control group of uncircumcised males, nor have any lasting detrimental health side effects as a result of the surgical transformation.
Circumcision has been around for thousands of years so we know for sure what the long term effects are.
(We knew what the long term affects of tobacco use were likely to be in 1960 but the industry covered it up similar to the industrial coverup of the mortality rates of trans today)

@secularmerlin
That is just the same "we must protect the children" fear mongering that always accompanies any fight for social equality.
I am pretty sure the bans on the tobacco industry preventing them from targeting children had to do mostly with death rates, not inequality.
Is a tattoo or a body piercing bad for some reason?
No, which is why the medical industry today wishes to promote hormone replacement as an equally safe way to change the appearance of your body despite overwhelming evidence that this is not true.
The industry also promotes being a designer trans using surgeries and hormone replacement as a safe way to feel better about yourself and feel included like tobacco was sold to kids in the 1960's with misleading advertisement.
That's the business of the body I am talking about.

@TheMorningsStar
it would be best to remember that it is none of your business because it is not your body.
But the medical industry complex has made this issue into an actual business. promoting designer genitalia and permanent hormone replacement as if it were a tattoo or a body piercing. An industry that is directed at kids mostly as that's where most of their easily duped customer base comes from.
It's like the new tobbacco industry ad campaign of the 1960's, and about just as deadly looking at the mortality rates of trans.

And media complex. And education complex.
President Biden on Friday nominated Amy Gutmann, the president of the University of Pennsylvania, to serve as ambassador to Germany, giving a prominent post abroad to an academic leader who hired Mr. Biden for a lucrative university position after the Obama administration.
If confirmed, Dr. Gutmann, who has written books on defending constitutional democracy and human rights, would be the first woman to hold the post. She would take over a position previously held by one of President Donald J. Trump’s most confrontational aides, Richard Grenell, who used the post to spread his brand of combative conservatism in Europe.
In 2018 and 2019, Mr. Biden was reportedly paid more than $900,000 from the University of Pennsylvania to serve as a “professor of practice,” according to financial disclosures. He did not teach any courses there, but a spokesman for the university called the relationship “phenomenally successful.”
“He helped to expand Penn’s global outreach, while sharing his wisdom and insights with thousands of Penn students through seminars, talks and classroom visits,” said Stephen J. MacCarthy, vice president of communications for the university. Mr. MacCarthy added, “He was able to bring prominent world figures to Penn’s campus for forums and conferences to discuss and debate critically important issues.”
Mr. Biden developed a close relationship with Dr. Gutmann, a political science professor, during his years there. Dr. Gutmann was also critical to the creation of the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington.
The Biden administration has been slowly rolling out its choices for ambassador posts, eager to show off a diverse list of nominees, not only in terms of gender and race but also in terms of background. In previous administrations, many posts abroad have gone to campaign donors. But the Biden administration has been eager to elevate State Department officials as well, to send a signal to career foreign service officials that they are once again valued.
On Friday, Mr. Biden also said he would nominate Chantale Wong as the United States director of the Asian Development Bank, a position that comes with the rank of ambassador. He nominated two career foreign service officials, Jeffrey M. Hovenier and Virginia E. Palmer, as ambassadors to Kosovo and Ghana.

The rioting was a case of civil disobedience. That’s not an insurrection.
There are many legal scholars citing that burning down a police station might qualify as such. Violent uprising against established authority with the purpose of destroying it? Check.

The argument is that based on nature of the violence, scale of property damage and consequential human suffering,
There are hardcore Democrat cultists that believe DC was a sacrosanct capitol and that any larping in that temple was an unforgivable transgression.

Well skeleton-bodied starving people in Africa and South Asia is the result when you don't entertain what you call Marxist BS.
No, it's the result of promoting a "might makes right" society instead of promoting a society where the government does not exploit the people through force and violence. A society we are quickly regressing towards as the government cracks down on peaceful protests and censors speech.
Most countries in Africa are ruled by warlords instead of a free meritocracy with social mobility.

Because that way the people prospering from/within the society are maintaining the poorest within it.
This is some seriously dated Marxist philosophy. It assumes there are no rich people that didn't work their ass off and produce a fuckton for society without exploiting slaves.

It's dehumanizing to tell poor people they are not a responsible member of the herd simply because they don't produce as much as wealthy people, everyone should be made to feel like they can contribute charity to the herd, even poor people.

Sure it does. Defrauding the government is a defense against force. And justifiable. Defrauding Democrat tax payers through welfare fraud is just a bonus.
