It is this video of ICE arresting a prominent news reporter and slamming them into the ground - it isn't clear she is leftist or simply reporting the news:
Is there an uncut video? As controversial as the desire for full understanding is these days, there an incredible amount of context missing from that video:
The video starts with her car being faced diagonal, facing the wrong way in traffic, blocking traffic, with an ICE vehicle clipping her trying to go around. What's the context for that? The article has a single sentence, "Jennifer Welday said she first heard honking and yelling just after 8:30 a.m.". Is that related? Was that her honking and yelling? Was that before or after they hit?
There's a cut in the video, then her on the ground. What happened during that cut?
My point is that so called "progressives" kept justifying and even celebrating censorship for more than a decade, but screeching and screaming now, when it hit themselves.
No one was justifying or celebrating censorship then, and no one is screeching and screaming now.
It seems you're trying to imply that "progressives" are being hypocritical (although I don't know what specifically is "progressive" in this context), but there is no hypocrisy in recognizing that private platforms have the right to enforce policies while also protesting those policies. That's how free speech actually works.
As opposed to what conservatives were doing not long ago, which is demanding the government forcibly take over social media platforms and make banning them illegal. Talk about screeching and screaming.
