Free Speech - Citizens for Free Speech

Free Speech Needs A Reset In America

February 5, 2026 Sheldon H. Jacobson via The Spokesman-Review 0

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, guarantees each person the freedom to speak out, untethered by government, in addition to freedom of the press. Yet our society has morphed into a segregated form of free speech that erodes the very essence of such freedom.

Free speech for me but not for thee

February 5, 2026 Niall McCrae via The Burning Platform 0

Facing an authoritarian bombast in the White House, the Left has suddenly rediscovered the value of free speech. After years of supporting clampdowns through the preposterous phenomenon of ‘hate speech’, now left-wing activists are having their wings clipped for allegedly hateful protests and social media posts.

January 29, 2026 Patrick wood 1

The United States Supreme Court has clearly explained that the First Amendment prohibits government from restricting speech, symbols or expressive conduct because of the message, ideas, subject matter, or content. There are no exceptions for hate speech, courtesy, dignity, or court officers.

Ketanji Brown Jackson Demonstrates That She Still Doesn’t Know What a Woman Is

January 19, 2026 Tyler O 'Neill via The Daily Signal 1

That’s where Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confusion comes in. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., famously asked Jackson to define the word “woman” in her confirmation hearing in 2022, but Jackson refused, stating, “I’m not a biologist.” The justice has had nearly four years to come up with a definition, but her questions in oral arguments this week suggest she’s still out to lunch on the basic distinction between men and women.

Ninth Circuit Issues Landmark Religious Liberty Decision

January 10, 2026 John Stonestreet 0

The court’s decision also reminds us of a critical truth: Faith is personal, but it is not private. Religious liberty doesn’t just protect our rights to believe in the privacy of our heads, our hearts, our homes, or our houses of worship. The First Amendment protects religious exercise, the active, practical living out of one’s deepest-held conviction, including the building and running of organizations designed to apply those convictions to the challenges and struggles of life.

Worst Censorship of 2025: Big Tech Targeted Right-Leaning Media, Trump, Faith and Life

January 6, 2026 Catherine Salgado via mrcFreeSpeech America 1

While the Big Four digital news gatekeepers aggressively pushed elitist media, artificial intelligence chatbots tried to undermine President Donald Trump and his AI agenda. Meanwhile, platforms like Bluesky and YouTube suppressed posts from Vice President JD Vance and an interview of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, respectively. Other social media platforms censored faith and the pro-life message, with Instagram covering up the truth about abortion, and X suppressing Bible verses and anti-terrorism messages from the Israeli government.

The UK Is Coming For Free Speech In America: Can They?

January 3, 2026 Max Thompson via Free Speech Union 2

Earlier this year, VP J.D. Vance carped at UK’s Starmer that free speech violations in the UK are a threat to “American technology companies”; there was no mention of American citizens. The only concern is that the UK wants to levy huge fines against US-based tech giants like X, Google, and Facebook. Tech giants fight against any form of regulation by national governments, especially when it affects their bottom line.

Pennsylvania High Court Rules Police Can Access Google Searches Without Warrant

December 30, 2025 Christina Maas via Reclaim the Net 0

The justices pointed to Google’s own privacy policy as a kind of consent form. “In the case before us, Google went beyond subtle indicators,” they wrote. “Google expressly informed its users that one should not expect any privacy when using its services.”

Europe Declares War On Free Speech In The US

December 29, 2025 Jonathan Turley via The Hill 1

Is Europe gone mad? The cesspool of anti-free speech is declaring itself to be the “free world” and the US as its enemy? When I wrote just yesterday that 2026 could be the year when Free Speech dies in America, this is what I meant. Remember Nina Jankowicz who ran the Disinformation Governance Board for Biden? She’s back and she hates America all the more. Now is the time to speak up or forever hold your peace.
