You want to know what actual free speech looks like in the American context?
Edward Snowden told the truth about what the government was doing to its own citizens.
He is in exile.
Chelsea Manning told the truth about what the military was doing in Iraq, including footage of a helicopter crew killing journalists and laughing.
She was imprisoned.
Julian Assange published documents showing the gap between what Western governments said and what they did.
He spent years in an embassy and then a prison, and the country that lectures the world about press freedom led the effort to destroy him.

Silence is complicity.

He is supporting Israel
Many Jews, like me, strongly oppose Israel’s war crimes, crimes against humanity and GENOCIDE
Conflating Jews and Israel is antisemitic
Full statement on my decisive Employment Appeal Tribunal victory against the Zionist movement, solidifying anti-Zionism as a protected philosophical belief under UK equality law.
People can no longer be discriminated against for their anti-Zionist beliefs.
We must continue to support the inalienable rights of the people of Western Sahara.

Not a single person has been held accountable for their participation in genocide.
Meanwhile, opponents of genocide are sentenced as terrorists.
What kind of dystopian world are we living in? This absurdity must end. De-proscribe Palestine Action, now.
The Irish Minister of justice Jim O Callaghan is blocking students from Gaza studying in Ireland for the following reasons
There are gaps in their education
They can’t provide bank statements
