The background image on my laptop is hitting different lately.

I don’t speak on behalf of my university, but it is important to seize a teachable moment. Peaceful protest to express your political beliefs is a fundamental right of American democracy. Conduct that harms others crosses the line of free speech. Regardless of your views,

I truly hate the “oh you don’t want to ethnically cleanse Jews from the Levant you must be a Zionist” convo from both pro & anti Zionists. Stop making everyone form their identity around modern statecraft. Imagine solutions outside the paradigm

What I’m seeing at Columbia is completely diff from anything happening at UT. Our students aren’t protesting against Jews, intimidating or threatening anyone. The occupancy of the library and the aggressive antisemitism at Columbia is abhorrent and should be severely addressed

.ChrisTomlinson: Gov. Greg Abbott and UT’s president fell for Hamas’s trap by crushing student protests

So I’m sort of puzzled.
Why weren’t there massive protests at the University of Texas when voting rights were taken away?
Uvalde?
When abortion was taken away?
When Texas shut planned parenthood?
And why didn’t the young people vote?🤷🏻‍♀️

And again! Acting like Billy badasses with unarmed college kids, but too chickenshit to save my son and his classmates!!

DPS and Abbott should be ashamed of themselves, but we all know how he sees it….”It could have been worse”

Of course students would clean up the most visited space on campus. We care about the lawn as much as the university claims it cares about students

💯

If President Trump were in office right now, murders would cease. If Trump were in office right now, every child would be loved. If Trump were in office right now, an ice cream cone would only cost a nickel. If Trump were in office right now, there would be peace on earth.

he told me he’s not trying to make a statement. He supports the protest, but the lawn is his happy place and this is where he wants to be. FOX 7 Austin

This is how protest movements get bigger.

.Gov. Greg Abbott is escalating the situation at UT Austin and putting Texas students and journalists in danger.

These young adults have a right to protest peacefully. DPS needs to be recalled before someone gets seriously injured. The Governor should respect the First Amendment.

Yes, it's a mystery. 🤔

It's a big day for the rule of law in Texas.

Riot gear. RIOT GEAR! At least three law enforcement agencies at a peaceful student protest
IN RIOT GEAR. WTF are you doing UT Austin?? Way to make an entire generation even more distrusting of authority and officers in uniform. The world is watching! What a disgrace.
