    Most of that isn’t political speech. You absolutely still have the right to political speech as a government employee. Even the military was forced to let soldiers have political speech. The dividing line is where it looks like the speech is from the government instead of from you. Personal pronouns are hardly going to be from the government.

    In your assertion the government could simply remove the rights of civil servants by issuing a policy. And that’s just not how rights work.
