As a civil rights lawyer, I find the disruption of the Yale Gospel Choir rehearsal by police deeply troubling. Yale must reevaluate its policies that too quickly call police on peaceful students, stifling free speech and causing undue distress. yaledailynews.com/blog/2024/04/2…

Free Corey Turner! An innocent Black Muslim man in prison behind a White woman Connecticut Supreme Court Justice’s lies!

Chair of Yale YDSA🌹, Lex S, speaks at the Native graduation ceremony and calls out university admin in attendance for their complicity in the genocide in Gaza and repression of student activism.

Justice Louis Brandeis once wrote that the heart of Freedom of Speech holds “liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty,” paraphrasing Pericles’ Funeral Oration. How ironic that Yale’s Pericles Lewis is overseeing the dismantling of free speech.

My two-year-old did not declare political agreement with anyone before using these parts of Cross Campus this evening

I had the honor of seeing the Columbia University anti-war encampment firsthand.

Contrary to right-wing attacks, these students are joyfully protesting for peace and an end to the genocide taking place in Gaza.

I’m in awe of their bravery and courage.

Just visited the Yale encampment on campus with my wife and my two-year-old son. It is not only nonviolent and peaceful but impeccably organized, safe, and outspoken, with diverse messages and artwork. Yale: let the students protest! #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Cynical politicians and pundits are trash talking these kids for all sorts of made up reasons. The truth is that they're principled, determined, and fighting for what is so clearly right.

It’s really important for the students at Yale to stay strong because they are being seen by all the students around the world!

Why are the students protesting? Yesterday, the UN reported on “mass graves in Gaza in which Palestinian victims were reportedly found stripped naked with their hands tied,” in the courtyard of a hospital. news.un.org/en/story/2024/… The students are protesting war crimes & genocide.

What harm, exactly, is caused by allowing students to protest on a college campus? If people cannot protest there, can people protest anywhere? @yale: hands off the students! Justin Elicker: stop the arrests!

The fastest 180 on “free speech is needed at universities” happened
…because…
college students started doing free speech
Now free speech is bad

Mentioning a police officer’s name isn’t “doxxing.”
Without this list of names, for instance, I wouldn’t have known that one of the officers involved T-boned a client’s car two years ago, giving her a concussion after running a red light. She was a Yale student
