Appalling by NYU-Langone Hospital. A nurse at NYU given an award for her work with bereaved mothers briefly mentioned Palestine in her remarks at the awards ceremony. She was promptly fired. link: x.com/row_ie_argum...

I'm sure Bari Weiss, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, and Elon Musk and the other defenders of free speech will jump right on this suppression of constitutionally protected free speech

As much as I want to agree with you, that only applies to state actors, which NYU-Langone hospital is not. If she were punished by the government (like, say, the Columbia and NYU students were by the police), then I'd agree with you.

The people named don't care about that distinction. They do, however, pretend to care about 'free speech' only when it means their speech.

Fair enough, and it's even more embarrassing for Glenn Greenwald, because he used to be an attorney in constitutional law.
