Grateful to Elon Musk for buying Twitter and keeping truth & free speech alive.

Lucy Connolly, a user of the X platform, posted a comment on X in the aftermath of the Southport massacre in the UK. As a mother who lost her firstborn at 19 months old and has a 12 year old child, she was triggered by the unjust suffering and death of children attending their local dance class. Her understandable frustration came out in her post on X. After cooling down and a walk with her dog, she decided to remove the post. Despite the post being live for only a few hours and her subsequent deletion of the post, she was arrested and charged under Section 19 of the Public Order Act for publishing material intending to stir up racial hatred. Based on advice she received while in custody, she pled guilty and was convicted. Lucy believed a guilty plea would result in her being able to get back to her family faster. Instead she was sentenced to 31 months in jail because of her post and denied the ability to Release on Temporary License, which allows inmates up to two days at home with their families. The Free Speech Union, a non-profit that X has worked with on similar matters, is providing Lucy with representation to appeal her sentence. X wholeheartedly supports Lucy and the Free Speech Union in this case.
