The First Amendment Bars Officials From Targeting Nike Because They Don’t Like Colin Kaepernick
Regardless of what officials may think about the protests, the First Amendment prohibits government from discriminating against individuals and organizations based on the content of their speech and the viewpoints they express. The attempts to punish Nike in Rhode Island, Mississippi, and Louisiana all violate the spirit of the First Amendment, although the specifics of each situation are different.

So companies themselves are individual entities that benefit from Freedom of Speech, but companies can shut down Freedom of Speech on their platforms if they don't like the message.
Got it.

Shady characters seem drawn to President Donald Trump like mosquitoes to a swamp-side bug zapper.
It’s strange, really. You’d never expect a man who ran a perfectly legitimate fraudulent online university to be so felon-adjacent.
But here we are, on the heels of what presidential scholars, people with a pulse and raccoons of slightly above-average intellect would call “a really bad day” for the president.

No - you still don't got it.
Depends on what the speech is and who's trying to do the punishment for it.
"Regardless of what officials may think about the protests, the First Amendment prohibits government from discriminating against individuals and organizations based on the content of their speech and the viewpoints they express."
So if the government ran Twitter, they would not be able to close down offensive accounts - depending of course on what that speech was. Remember: fire / theater example that gets repeated about a dozen times a year on this forum?
I suspect you won't got any of that either.

So companies themselves, that have infinitely more resources and lawyers at their disposal, are to be considered individual entities that benefit from Freedom of Speech, but companies can shut down Freedom of Speech on their platforms if they don't like the message.

We Now Have Even More Proof That Family Separation Was the Policy
New documents show Kirstjen Nielsen almost certainly lied.

y-separation-policy-lie/
Pure SCUMBAGS, top to bottom.
The administration is trying to deter migrants with the threat of concentration camps and does not give a single fuck how fucked that actually is and neither does their base.
They are actual fascists.
I believe it was Sessions who would later claim that the family separations was a deterrent policy; that it was put in place to convince some families not to immigrate. But that's a lie. They had the policy in place, then tried to hide the fact that they were kidnapping children: but hidden incentives don't work. If you want to change people's behavior, they have to know about the change in incentives: when the government lied about the family separation, they obscured those incentives.
If the purpose of family separation was to prevent family-crossings, then they would have been up front about it. Instead they denied the separations were occurring. This is because the intention was never to protect families from the dangers of immigration, it was simply to hurt them. The policy is cruel by design, and any lie about helping people was a political afterthought.

IF you can explain to me why family separation is so much worse than killing tens of thousands of children in the Mideast, I might listen.

Media Manipulation: Story About Migrant Children SCRUBBED After UN Said It Happened On Obama’s Watch
After reporting on detained migrant children, AFP and Reuters scrubbed the story when the United Nations revealed it happened on Barack Obama’s watch.
Rather than issue a correction, several news agencies have instead opted to delete a story stating that 100,000 migrant children were detained in US border facilities. This decision to delete comes after the United Nations clarified that the number is years old, predating the age of Trump ...
Usually I would try to vet the item, but I have other things to do at the moment.
