Amazing. Elon, Linda & team continue to make good on their free speech legal defense pledge that they made a year ago. Incredible to have a platform that helps ordinary people fight back. https://t.co/5ltsrK60Ue

Supporting free speech - not just on X, but mandating it on all social media - should be absolutely non-negotiable within the ranks of the Right. We cannot get anywhere until we get this back. Our fights and debates amongst ourselves simply don't matter compared to this.
