In a move more characteristic of autocratic regimes like Russia and China than the United States, the long-running Boston band the Dropkick Murphys have had their account on X (formerly Twitter) suspended, after a series of aggressive comments directed at President Donald Trump, his sidekick Elon Musk — who acquired the company in 2022 — and their followers.

It is pretty bad
The twitter employees who did this are trash
The questions will be, did government officials use twitter to prevent free speech? And when will they be put in jail?
Just teasing you.

Congress can make no law abridging the freedom of speech.

This is hilarious. The sides of “town square” and “private business” have done a neat little switch.
