I protect your right to say “fuck”
“Fuck the Draft”

mtsu.edu/first-amendmen…
“FUCT”

“Fuck school fuck softball fuck cheer fuck everything.”

These are just a few of my favorite “fuck” cases
“Fuck Biden” is protected speech.
“Fuck Trump” is protected speech.
“Fuck Roselle Park Municipal Court” is protected speech.
And before anyone tells me profanity is unprotected as “obscenity,” no it fucking isn’t.

Here’s more “fuck” reading for you weirdos

The federal government should not be working with anyone to censor speech. I protect Facebook’s right to control the speech on its site.
But does the government flagging posts on Facebook violate me? A few points:

First, I protect you from the government, not from Facebook. Facebook removing posts on its own does not violate me. There needs to be government action to implicate me.
Second, the government is allowed to engage in its own speech. It can express a certain viewpoint and doing so does not violate me. So the government “getting factual information out there” etc. does not violate me.

I limit state and local governments.

A short thread...
Yes, my text limits only Congress, not state and local governments—“Congress shall make no law...” Image
And in 1833 the Supreme Court said the Bill of Rights did not apply to the state and local governments.

You have failed
When the ACLU has to get a TRO to stop your State Police from arresting, threatening to arrest, or using physical force against journalists, you have failed.

When @rcfp is sending you letters, you have failed.

This would violate me. There is no general “disinformation” or “propaganda” exception to the First Amendment.

Okay wow here we go I guess...
Speech does not lose First Amendment protection simply because it is false.

There is no “lie” exception to the First Amendment
