I caught this video today of @UTAustin students voluntarily picking up trash after the protest. Also witnessed respectful debate between pro-Israel & pro-Palestinian students. The police force that descended on campus only inflamed emotions. There’s got to be a better way.
Candid shots from @loriannejpg that capture the essence of the student protests at @UTAustin. Shame on APD and DPS for their use of force and violence against students exercising their 1st amendment right to protest.
For those wondering who will pick up the mess on UT Austin’s main quad: Students are cleaning it up. As soon as the police line was pushed back, students immediately got to work cleaning up their campus.
What a sight to behold!

According to CM Zo Qadri, several Austin City Council members have asked to be briefed on APD’s involvement in responding to the protests happening at UT. Request is for executive session, which would happen behind closed doors.

🚨🚨🚨UTAustin faculty, staff, students, alumni and members of the public, if you don’t like the military force we are watching enacted upon @UTAustin students, please call our President @JCHartzell to register your opposition immediately: 512-471-1232.
.@GovAbbott 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.

This disproportionate response would be egregious enough on its own, but it’s even more disturbing knowing what happened during the Uvalde shooting.
My children go to predominantly Black schools in HISD that had their libraries turned into “team centers” and their dedicated librarians fired. The idea of banning books when kids don’t even have access to full school libraries is absurd.

This excessive show of force was a bad move by DPS, UTPD, & APD last week, & it's a bad move today. Protestors had their charges dropped for a reason - bc these have been lawful, peaceful protests. Yet again, we are seeing Abbott target our First Amendment rights in real time.

Crystal Mason has been through enough, for doing nothing more than not understanding a convoluted policy regarding her basic right to vote. DA Sorrells should focus on alleviating our jail crowding crisis, rather than becoming the second Tarrant DA humbled by an appeals court.

My statement regarding yesterday’s protest at UT Austin.
Flat out Jim Crow. @TarrantCountyTX isn’t even trying to hide their racism. They are trying to send Crystal back to jail because they need proof of voter fraud to justify their “election integrity task force.” This is not right and will not stand.

What a sight to behold!
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.
According to CM Zo Qadri, several Austin City Council members have asked to be briefed on APD’s involvement in responding to the protests happening at UT. Request is for executive session, which would happen behind closed doors.
I'm dismayed to see APD on campus. Our tax dollars shouldn't be used to violate students' right to assemble. @CMChitoVela, @RyanAlter, & I have requested an executive session legal briefing on APD's role in the UT campus protests. We need clear answers on APD's involvement.

I frequently protested as a student, it’s how I ended up doing what I do for a living. In almost every case trying to squash dissent by force is making the very point the protesters are trying to prove.
This disproportionate response would be egregious enough on its own, but it’s even more disturbing knowing what happened during the Uvalde shooting.
Instead, they wasted precious time and tax dollars passing a law that was so broadly and poorly written that even the most conservative appeals court had to rule against it: kxan.com/news/texas/tex… #hd146 #txlege
Book bans are not about protecting children. If Texas wanted to protect children our state leaders would act to reduce gun violence, feed hungry kids over the summer and expand healthcare access.
My children go to predominantly Black schools in HISD that had their libraries turned into “team centers” and their dedicated librarians fired. The idea of banning books when kids don’t even have access to full school libraries is absurd.
This was the word-for-word comment from a student at Granbury ISD’s school board meeting last night. This is critical thinking as a result of public education. Teachers, librarians, and books are wonderful things!
Why are police brutalizing students peacefully protesting? 😡
UTPD officers pulling protesters away from the encampment and arresting them
This excessive show of force was a bad move by DPS, UTPD, & APD last week, & it's a bad move today. Protestors had their charges dropped for a reason - bc these have been lawful, peaceful protests. Yet again, we are seeing Abbott target our First Amendment rights in real time.
