Progressives are finally wising up and realizing the error of their ways on free speech. A new article out from Vox issues a call to "make 'free speech' a progressive rallying cry again." The only reason they are championing free speech now is because they feel the restrictions against themselves, the same restrictions they used to silence conservatives. I believe in their right to speak freely, but despite their latest rhetoric, I do not believe they believe in mine.

They've realized that the same anti-free speech policies and practices that they've enacted on college campuses and in the public sphere to prevent misgendering and microaggressions, to deplatform speakers on everything from abortion to women's rights to climate change, are now being used against them and their latest current thing, anti-Zionism and the Palestinian cause.

The AP notes that the "lofty principle" of free speech "has clashed with the stark reality of the Israel-Hamas war," without even a mention of how it has clashed with the stark reality of biological sex, abortion, climate science, race, or any of the other causes du jour put forth as dogma by progressive academic elite.
