Censorship is a one-way street.

...violated Buentello’s constitutional rights to free speech."

I hate to hurt EVERONE'S feelings, but we are all going to have to pay for our "free" speech now. Some are more prepared than others for when someone wants to make you pay for that. Let the reader understand.

Bit ironic on a platform that censors and bans millions

The only avenue left is the one closest to home. We must direct our non-violent advocacy on a more personal level, like Dr. Martin Luther King and Saul Alinsky (pick a target, freeze it, etc.)

Consider:
William Boroughs said that the only way to defeat heroin addiction was to throw all the street addicts in prison. He said the drug world was analogous to a pyramid—remove the top stone and immediately another would move up and take its place. I would never advocate such an oppressive program, but in a larger sense, there is something we should consider. He said, if the lowest tier was removed, the edifice would crumble. Uprooting foundation of oppressor—through consciousness raising educational efforts must now be our goal. We must struggle defiantly, fiercely—but always peacefully.

Consider: our efforts have targeted privileged, protected and insulated elites, targets far beyond our reach. Now we must focus on more convenient and reachable persons of influence for non-violent activism—like the local dem ward healers, labor thugs, media and allied businesses.

Again our actions must be non-violent—limited to marches in public by-ways, near public building, and silicon valley affiliated corporations. Perhaps, from time to time, an alley-apple or Molotov cocktail will need to be launched through a window as an expression of the urgency of our need to be heard—as long as we only target objects and harm no one; we must be non-violent arsonists and wreckers. The bureaucratic bourgeoisie will only hear us when their material wealth and privilege no longer separates us. We must seek them out from their exclusive places of refuge—restaurants and vacation retreats to share our non-violent message. The machinery of oppression must be brought to a stop before they will consider—really reflect and profoundly meditate on the peaceful cries we make.

Like Abbie Hoffman said:
“The revolution begins at home.”

Non-violently of course.

sued Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert on Sunday after being blocked from the first-term federal lawmaker’s Twitter account.

I can easily see a judge saying the plaintiff has a Constitutional right to not be blocked but at the same time say there's not a problem with Twitter blocking President Trump.
