Journalist detained for booing Trump at Kennedy Center 'Chicago' performance

And access to health care. And transportation.

I did read the whole article, and I don't feel like that excerpt addresses it at all. He says "being questioned about speech", but what that questioning entailed or whether he was allowed to leave (in which case, that's not actually detainment) is never addressed.

(Aside to the detainment question: e.g. libraries are government-funded; I can still be kicked out of them if I start yelling in one. The Kennedy Center is a public–private partnership, and this was private security, but it's not like rules still don't apply if I walked into a fully federally owned government building. I think his argument that his being kicked out of the theater temporarily for loudly booing before the show "undermines the First Amendment" because the Center receives federal funding is nonsense, even though I wholeheartedly support his booing. He notes that there was positive disruption like clapping from others, but it doesn't "undermine the First Amendment" that he was singled out to temporarily leave.)

The first Amendment protects you from the government, I looked into it and it looks like Kennedy center employees are not federal employees so if they decide that your speech in a private place is not allowed, they can kick you out.

That means his freedom of speech was oppressed.

• You don't understand what the Kennedy Center is, do you?
• "By officials" in this case means by the Kennedy Center's security, which are not agents of the US government.
• Again, though, even if the Kennedy Center weren't a public–private partnership, I can't just walk into a federal building and start making a disturbance expecting not to get kicked out. (Or in this case, just pulled aside for a few minutes before the play started and almost certainly given the option to wait or leave the venue.)

"His freedom of speech was oppressed" in functionally the same sense that it is if I get banned from a social media platform or kicked out of a library for making a disturbance. It's not even remotely a First Amendment issue, and him citing the 1A is bonkers.

I think in another life you'd be supporting those obnoxious, far-right "First Amendment auditors" who walk into e.g. a library or USPS building, start making a scene, and think that being kicked out means their constitutional rights have been impinged. Not because you have ill intent but because you fundamentally do not understand what the 1A does or is supposed to do.

Supposedly it's not closing until July
