Just thought I'd add this to the list of persons being punished for free speech. Please read the article and comment on the paper's comment section. Make your voice heard.

COUNTY COMMISSION

Deputy suspended due to comments on Charlie Kirk

I don't use Facebook and thus have no access to the comments in question, but it doesn't really matter. MAGA only cares about freedom of speech when it is about their own freedom. F'ck the rest of the people.

Salem is home to Rep. Jason Smith, who apparently doesn't realize that after the fascists get rid of trans people they'll be coming after him next. This is a VERY conservative and Trump friendly area.

Even so, I've never been afraid to show my "Fuck Trump" bumper sticker before. Now, I figure, if they'll do it to another cop, how secure is my job, my life?

I wish we'd had true leadership in our party, but instead we're stuck with Schumer and Jeffries who are frankly clueless.
