Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.

Candid shots from lorianne willett 🪐🦋💐 that capture the essence of the student protests at UT Austin. Shame on APD and DPS for their use of force and violence against students exercising their 1st amendment right to protest.

We’ve now entered the “cops tear gassing kids for protesting genocide” stage.

i fucking dropped my zaxbys 4 finger chicken plate and lost a chicken finger :( and the last of my zac sauce :( im so upset :(

inexplicably and unacceptably atrocious at UT Austin today.

rich that it’s in the shadow of both our university and governmental institutions.

mass censorship leading to mass arrests

take note how they're actively moving and pushing while their arms linked and are not just standing there waiting

telling queer anti-zionists that we would be killed in gaza isn’t a point of argument, it’s just you revealing that you fantasize about the brutal deaths of queer people you disagree with

.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.

Basically a teenager got disappeared and is still like 'yeah it was bad but nothing as bad as happens to Palestinians on a daily basis.' These kids are heroes.

They tried to snuff out the protests at Columbia and now the whole country is on fire. Keep pushing. Burn it all down.

“You failed Uvalde.”

“There is no riot here, why are you in riot gear.”

State troopers look ready to brutalize peaceful protesters at UT Austin.

Children should be allowed to form their own beliefs and values without the influence of religion.

this is how to do it, faculty. i am so moved.

RIGHT NOW: A huge and energetic picket is happening outside of Columbia in support of students after threats from administration to suspend all students on the Gaza Solidarity encampment 🇵🇸

With almost all law enforcement backing off, protesters retake the south lawn at UT Austin

Incredible sights at UT Austin as the growing protest marches against retreating (and mace wielding) cops, to retake the south lawn they were forced from earlier. Protests will not stop until UT divests from all interests in Israel. Hartzell and Abbot can't intimidate us.

Student protesters at UT Austin are being hit with pepper spray as they attempt to push police and state troopers off campus.

Someone on private already pointed this out, but: does this look like an underfunded police department to you? What’s happening in the rest of the city while a couple hundred college students peacefully protest? 911 call response was taking like an hour just last year.

SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY

There are never police staffing issues when it's time to abuse civilians
