  Free free speech hasn’t existed in the US for a long, long time.

  Sure you can quip jokes, sure you can call names, you can protest a little bit here and there.

  But try being a student and protest, it may actually get you killed or deported or just disappeared.

    You say that but I was a student protestor a decade ago and it wasn’t this bad. And regardless just because our government is violating the law and our nation’s fundamental ideology (liberty and democracy) and has been for some time doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call them out on it
