If you're calling for harsh punishment of student protesters for occupying buildings today, pause for a moment to consider how you feel about people who occupied buildings during the Civil Rights era, Vietnam protests, or the movement to divest from apartheid South Africa.
Once you recognize what's happening in New York is happening under a Democratic mayor, a Democratic governor and a Democratic president, it should give you a point of reference for how bad things will get under a second Trump administration. This may be as good as it gets.
I hope we all remember that all these students speaking out on college campuses are our kids. They’re smart, accomplished, young ppl. Just like in the 1960s, while adult leaders use force, it’s very likely history will prove and reflect students’ outcry for humanity was right.
If you are this wildly inconsistent on free speech matters, then you probably don't actually respect free speech all that much.
@jmontforttx These TX Republicans equate all Palestinian ppl with Hamas. How uneducated and bigoted. But who is surprised? One thing is for sure, when it comes to Christians’ lust for deadly revenge, there’s never a shortage. They’re 👁️ 4 👁️ Old Testament folks, forget New Testament Jesus.
“Snot-nosed, entitled, mindless brats”…who have the audacity to exercise their rights. Let alone the fact that he has no issue butchering faculty’s constitutional rights, but this is how he is talking about bright, accomplished, goal-oriented students who worked to attend UT.

When the real fascists come — and they will — they'll come from the far right and won't be wearing keffiyahs.
The Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville was reprehensible. But it ended in two days. What’s happening now on college campuses is worse. It’s been happening for weeks with no end in sight. It’s based on hatred toward Jews and America. Where is Biden? Biden the hypocrite…

Overheard at UT Law while students prepare for finals: “How are we supposed to focus on studying when the university is having our fellow students beaten?” If the goal is to protect education, picking a fight isn’t helping. It’s making the demonstrations more disruptive.
I just heard a shocking statistic on NPR re: gun laws. 90% of suicide attempts with guns are lethal. 4% of all other types of suicide attempts are lethal. * if you or someone you know is struggling, call 988 hotline for help
This is not a drill. He’s pledging it loudly and proudly. If you’re still voting for Trump after all of this, be clear: you’re voting for fascism and the end of American democracy as we know it. That’s not hyperbole - that’s simply paying attention to his own promises and plans:
"How Far Trump Would Go." @EricCortellessa scores two interviews with Donald Trump for @TIME, asking him to explain what he'd do in a second term. Read here: time.com/6972021/donald… A synopsis:
Great & thoughtful interview. “I really can’t emphasize this enough: We must protect free-speech. And free-speech only matters - it’s only relevant - when it’s someone you don’t like saying something you don’t like.” Couldn’t agree more, @elonmusk. Well said!
@JamesTippins @cjtackett I think that video is excellent, especially Samuel Perry. It’s like music to my ears. What are you hearing that gives you pause?
