@emmma_camp_ I see a lot of younger activists that don’t seem to make the connection that the power of civil disobedience comes in large part from the potential for punishment (and to protest in spite of it)
Civil disobedience—including occupying buildings—has a long history in American protests. However, it’s unambiguously NOT protected speech. Colleges can (& should) ask police to arrest those who occupy campus buildings. And students should be prepared to accept consequences.

Crazy to see a Governor so openly calling for the suppression of students' First Amendment rights. Even if you don't like it, students *absolutely* have the right to peacefully protest at TX public colleges.

Incredibly disturbing footage out of Texas where authorities appear to be barring any pro-Palestinian protest at all in open outdoor areas of campus — not just disruptive ones. This appears to be a blatant violation not just of the First Amendment but S.B. 18 which requires these…

Sorry Malala you are a FAKE ACTIVIST. I know you got shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating for the right of girls to go to school but your efforts pale in comparison to those of us who spend 15 hours a day Tweeting about the need for a violent communist revolution

"This is an extraordinarily difficult moment . . . Tensions are high and nerves are raw. The charity and grace necessary for productive dialogue are in vanishingly short supply, and it can be difficult to separate protected expression from its opposite." Excellent, @TheFIREorg:

Sexual assault is evil, but false accusations happen, and so those accused also need their rights defended in a country that believes that you are innocent until proven otherwise. Biden rolling back those protections is bad. 1/

Y’all. This is the notice of suspension that one of the UGA students received. I have redacted their name. But take a note of the timestamp. Email sent at 5:09 PM, they have to contact her office by 5:10 PM, or else they are suspended at 5:11 PM. You can’t make this up. 🤦🏼♀️

Time for an explicitly Zionist, explicitly anti-war movement to emerge. Thread the needle and build the bridge. Israelis are already doing this right now and it’s time for that process to be seeded here.

This story is bananas. Florida charges people $50 a day for their stay in prison. The state wants this woman to pay $127,000 because she was sentenced to 7 years—even though she only served 10 months. A perfect example of how the gov’t sets people up to fail upon release.

It’s one thing that at one of the most Jewish unis in the country JVP couldn’t find a single Hebrew literate anti-Zionist Jew to work with them, it’s another that they broke the most basic principles of BDS at the same time
i am told that we dont need to worry about it though because ansar allah "does not mean it" and "the only jews they know are zionists" - whew! glad thats covered! i'm sure levi marhabi, the last remaining jew in yemen, will feel comforted by this as he remains in prison

This is psychotic. Well-intentioned, but still psychotic. I don’t know what it will take for politicians to understand that the First Amendment still applies to odious expression you dislike. Who would even decide what was antisemitic? We can’t seem to agree on that these days.
