@MCStarlite67@stephen_richer It's a red state and their leader @RonDeSantis has convinced them that mail in is fraud, so they don't do it. Unless you're name is Trump, of course.
@GovPressOffice It's cute that a Missouri rep is occupying his time about another state's elections. I'd slow that count down to a crawl just to fuck with them. I'm sure the vote counters could use a week vacation.
🚨BREAKING: The Secretary of Homeland Security just admitted, on camera, that he is going to violate your First Amendment right to free speech.
He said, “I have ZERO tolerance. If you verbally assault our officers… we will find you, we will arrest you.”
Except… that’s not how the First Amendment works.
Unless someone is making a credible threat of violence, speech… even rude, angry, or insulting speech… is still protected.
That’s the whole point of a free speech clause… to protect the people from situations where those in power don’t like what’s being said.
So, when a top federal official starts framing “verbal assault” as something you can be arrested for, without clearly defining it as an actual threat…
It stops sounding like protecting officers, and starts sounding like a government trying to silence people who speak out against it.
