Traitor to free speech.

It’s the slippery slope of censorship at work.

I recall being at one of the Clearwater summer festivals. Pete Seeger was there and wanted people to walk down to the river and sing with him to welcome the County Commissioner. He made up a ditty as we walked down to the dock. I support Clearwater and its mission.

But maybe there is a time and place for messages, no matter how much I agree with the message.

Did another boats or ships have messages?

then had a pretty amateur sign. at least b sneaky, ppl.

One was on a ship parade where no political signs were allowed, while the other were statements where politics is allowed.

One was a general statement of moral things to support; the other was an attack on a specific type of politics. Both were at July 4th events.

There, I compared them very easily. Trump's was clearly more political - "Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, ⁠Climate Solutions" is a very general statement that is not party political.

The snowflake-in-chief can dish it out but can't take it.

The 1st Amendment prohibits the government from stifling free speech. It really its that simple.

In the era of Trump, this right -- along with all the others-- musty be protected.

How so 1776🇺🇸

Listen to Trump's speech last night.

A banner on a boat was unacceptable but Trump's words are okay?

Bullshit.

If the environmental group had sponsored an event, it would have been their platform. They agreed to the ground rules, had the option to abide by their agreement, and freely chose not to. Maybe different people made the differing decisions, maybe they assumed the first decision would be non-binding.

As for Trump, it sort of was his platform. It would be interesting to have some event organized, invite him to speak provided he avoided certain topics--and then have him agree to the limitations--and then just kill his mic when he decided to focus on what he had agreed to not talk about.

having clean water to drink is so subversive?

They have flipped to the dark side.

... a parade organized by a private group that has a permit that allows them exclusive use of a route for the parade. The police block off the parade route and do crowd management during the parade. If someone from outside the permitted organization attempts to join the parade, the police might prohibit them from doing so. Under those circumstances I'm not sure that that would constitute the regulation of speech.

Wouldn't fly long.

separately from the parade but within sight of the shore.

That's the new motto of the US.
