I think that for my freedom it is to be able to express without fear of being judged, obviously with due respect for other people and opinions

 @9HWGZML from Minnesota  agreed…2yrs2Y

I agree with the statement to a point. I don't think freedom means having no fear of judgement. We have the freedom to jump out of a airplane, that doesn't mean we won't get hurt. Same with freedom of speech. You have the freedom to say whatever you want, but that does not mean everyone will like it or agree or feel tolerant towards it. But we have the freedom to say it anyways. We, clearly in view of our laws, do not have the freedom to do whatever we want. So speak all you like, but if the words turn to action and that action breaks the law, your freedoms end pretty quickly.

Being able to choose how I live, what I am able to do, and how I'm able to handle my life.

 @9HW8T56 from Tennessee  agreed…2yrs2Y

I believe that the government should be weaker and alone from its population, and allow its citizens to handle themselves and not push corrupt politics.

the ability to do stuff and have the freedom to do so and under a social system I cant js do whatever. there's still laws obviously and rules we have to follow kind of like they say in school but bigger rules that apply to adults and EVERYONE.

 @9HT36HS from Massachusetts  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9S6MHND from California  answered…2yrs2Y

The power to be able to be self self governance and self managed because its important to grow as a person.

 @9Q2FJZJ from Maryland  answered…2yrs2Y

The idea is great, though I doubt it’d ever work sadly.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
