We can’t normalize this. This isn’t normal. A group of students were sitting on the lawn of their own school. Daring to ask for peace in Gaza.

It’s really hard to comprehend how law enforcement stood back doing nothing while a gunman slaughtered kids and teachers, but this is law enforcement’s response to students exercising their first amendment right. We are in a bad place, y’all.

The freedom to protest is integral to our democracy. UT Austin students have a First Amendment right to freely express their political opinions — without threats of arrest and violence. If you or someone you know needs legal support, call the Austin Lawyers Guild: 512-817-4254
Without any sense of irony... The Republicans who refused to condemn the open and obvious rise of WHITE SUPREMACY and actual NAZIS taking power within the @GOP are defending against anti-semitism.
Governor Abbott said the quiet part OUT LOUD. They weren't rioters. They weren't attackers. They weren't terrorists. ... just PROTESTORS. People he didn't agree with. So, he used militarized police. To crush people he didn't like. This is what fascism actually looks like.
Being Palestinian does not equal being part of Hamas. Palestinians are humans beings. We should see the humanity in both Israelis and Palestinians. It should be concerning to everyone that so many Americans, especially those w/ positions of power, are shutting down free speech.
What @UTAustin ? Our “rules” will be enforced against our own students by brute force? Has everyone lost their damn minds? These are our kids. They planned a “teach in” and protest chants on the campus lawn. This was not a marauding mob.

In Greg Abbott’s Texas, our first amendment rights are under attack. DPS is beating and arresting students and journalists at the University of Texas. This must stop.
More hypocrisy from Greg Abbott—so appalled that some colleges ban free speech on campus. “First Amendment guarantees it” he says...rather “said” while signing an unnecessary new law in 2019. His outrageous actions yesterday show he only wants to protect speech he likes. 1/2
Students should not be denied their freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. 2/2

"History will prove Ken Paxton is a corrupt, sophisticated criminal. History will prove vouchers are simply an expensive entitlement program for wealthy and a get rich scheme for voucher vendors.History will prove Governor Greg Abbott is a liar." weatherforddemocrat.com/opinion/rogers… #txlege
$6 million Tx is one of only a handful of states that allow unlimited campaign contributions. Republicans have run the state for decades. They’re NOT going to implement limits. They benefit from it. If you want to change how the state is governed, change who governs the state.
when ppl ask about stuff to do in austin i always suggest the library they like at me kinda weird but im tell them is a vibe, downtown, great views, just chill and read for a bit. that "i love you so much" mural is not going anywhere lol

"Congratulations to all who worked very hard to defeat vouchers in Texas. Vouchers have been defeated again and it remains to be seen if the Gov will call yet another special session. Don’t mess with Texas public schools!" Thank YOU, @NPEaction! #txed networkforpubliceducation.org/grassroots-edu…
Remarkable: Not only did the Texas House vote 84 to 63 to kill school vouchers. By the same margin, the House slammed the door on any reconsideration of vouchers during discussion of House Bill 1 #txlege
It's great to hear how much #txlege cares about poor kids. Can't wait to hear their proposals to expand Medicaid and TANF eligiblity.

It’s really hard to comprehend how law enforcement stood back doing nothing while a gunman slaughtered kids and teachers, but this is law enforcement’s response to students exercising their first amendment right. We are in a bad place, y’all.
UPDATE: dozens of state troopers have just arrived to @UTAustin.
There is something broken when the threat of a “tent encampment” on a college campus elicits this level of brutality against our young people. Republicans created this climate of fear by going after college presidents. Democrats must reject it & absolutely stand for Freedom.
The people who told you that the January 6 coup attempt were just peaceful tourists taking a stroll... Are now telling you that the UT sit-in was a violent riot.
The freedom to protest is integral to our democracy. UT Austin students have a First Amendment right to freely express their political opinions — without threats of arrest and violence. If you or someone you know needs legal support, call the Austin Lawyers Guild: 512-817-4254
Nice try but this isn’t about antisemitism. This is about a war that students oppose and their right to gather & protest it. These are our kids, Governor. Stop trying to bait them to serve your political ambitions.
Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses. These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period. Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled.
I’m @AustinISD where @EdAustin_TX members are rallying to ask the district for higher staff compensation. #atxschools #txed
Governor Abbott said the quiet part OUT LOUD. They weren't rioters. They weren't attackers. They weren't terrorists. ... just PROTESTORS. People he didn't agree with. So, he used militarized police. To crush people he didn't like. This is what fascism actually looks like.
Being Palestinian does not equal being part of Hamas. Palestinians are humans beings. We should see the humanity in both Israelis and Palestinians. It should be concerning to everyone that so many Americans, especially those w/ positions of power, are shutting down free speech.
What @UTAustin ? Our “rules” will be enforced against our own students by brute force? Has everyone lost their damn minds? These are our kids. They planned a “teach in” and protest chants on the campus lawn. This was not a marauding mob.
.@UTAustin president Jay Hartzell’s message to the UT community just now: “Our rules matter, and they will be enforced. Our University will not be occupied.”
In Greg Abbott’s Texas, our first amendment rights are under attack. DPS is beating and arresting students and journalists at the University of Texas. This must stop.
More hypocrisy from Greg Abbott—so appalled that some colleges ban free speech on campus. “First Amendment guarantees it” he says...rather “said” while signing an unnecessary new law in 2019. His outrageous actions yesterday show he only wants to protect speech he likes. 1/2
Students should not be denied their freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. 2/2
@RootEdSA Lunch with friends and then voting!!!
2024 Best Travis County “Disaster.”
When the State takes control of the largest school district in Texas, we have an obligation to know what is happening with this & what is the plan. As a member of the House Public Education Committee, I stand ready to do our job to provide oversight & accountability. #txlege
I, along with 8 other State Representatives, requested a public hearing about our serious concerns with @HoustonISD. We cannot vote on who represents us on the school board, so we as state representatives must hold the board accountable. I look forward to learning the truth.
