Quite literally the most flagrant, obvious violation of the First Amendment you could ever serve up. Text book, to the point, not debatable.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Sure but whose going to stop him?
The courts? Bah. Fat chance with these courts.
And even if they do...the election is in 27 days. The damage will have been done.
And, if Trump ~~wins~~ takes office, I doubt it will even matter. The FCC will be gutted and replaced with loyal cronies regardless.
They are showing their true colors.
Of course, unless there are consequences for government officials suppressing and punishing free speech, the term “free speech” is just words.
If you ask conservatives, the 2nd Amendment is their answer to the 1st
And armed violence always works so well to settle disagreements /s
Dear FCC: Please crush Florida GOP balls with your boot for once. Pretty please.
It's Florida, DeSantis will just "suggest" people protest outside the station.
While open-carrying.
Open carry is illegal in Florida... Well unless they are on the way to a gun range/hunting spot, which they won't be.
You can get 10 years prison in Florida for showing someone you have a gun in your holster and it being perceived as a threat in Florida.
For a long time a concealed carry permit from Florida was accepted in more states than any other permit because once upon a time they had strict rules to ensure people were safe. And then Desantis came in and tried to fuck everything up
As long as you're carrying fishing equipment you can plausibly be on your way to a fishing spot. There's a YouTuber who posts his interactions with police while doing that very thing.
Officer: "Sir, you can't open carry outside the station"
Pubnut: "I'm going fishing!"
Officer: "Congratulations, you caught charges"
That’s not an undermining, that’s an explicit violation of the first amendment. This is blatantly political speech
For those outside Florida, man you should see the fear mongering ads that those against this amendment are airing. Just blatant lies. It's disgusting really.
My family already voted so I did my part, but the ads are nonstop down here. And they are getting worse
Are they claiming that legalizing abortion will allow your underage child to transition against your wishes? We got that one last year in ohio
He's a lawyer and he's smart, knows how this plays out.
He can chill this speech with zero chance of court action in the 3 weeks before the election. Afterwards, even if a court orders him to stop, damage done.
