My statement on the protests on VCU's campus:
The #1A requires heightened scrutiny when the gov't creates “a regulation of speech because of disagreement with [its] message," Ward v. Rock Against Racism, 491 U.S. 781, 791 (1989), including a content-neutral rule adopted to silence speech. Sorrell v. IMS, 564 U.S. 552 (2011)

"...if there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other, it is the principle of free thought—not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate." - Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Live footage from Fredericksburg. I am being told by student protesters that they've been warned that they will be arrested if they do not leave the encampment. I am deeply troubled that @MaryWash is resorting to such heavy-handed tactics to break up a peaceful protest.
Spent the morning with Thea at the Thomas Jefferson Center for Historic Plants at Tufton Farm for their annual plant sale. I love the drive to Charlottesville. The roads remind me of those forested back roads I used to drive on when I was a kid.
As I've told my students, the First Amendment protects the right to peacefully protest even if we don't agree with the speaker's viewpoint. In fact, the need to protect speech is especially strong in those cases. I am deeply disappointed in @MaryWash for censoring its students.
The FTC was created to do the very thing the Non-Compete Rule does: foster competition in the marketplace by policing anticompetitive practices. Folks coming unglued that the FTC has actually stepped in to preserve competition in the marketplace are telling on themselves.
And that's a wrap! Thank you @UMW_PSIA for the privilege of teaching American Civil Liberties this semester. I hope that my students enjoyed the course as much as I enjoyed teaching it. It has been the privilege of a lifetime.
Today, I was part of a delegation of senior state officials & lawmakers from across the U.S. who met with top officials from the FTC & the White House to discuss strategies for curbing junk fees. Thank you @EconomicSecProj & @econliberties: economicsecurityproject.org/news/state-lea… @VASenateDems
“Funding aside, that won’t be an issue for Henry and the clinic’s formidable volunteer staff. “We’re going to stay there until the doors close,” she said. “We hope the doors never close, but we’re going to be there.” fredericksburgfreepress.com/2024/04/21/con…
It was great to be at the Fredericksburg Earth Day Celebration today talking with voters and future voters!
Had an amazing #EarthDay2024 here at Old Mill Park in Fredericksburg. I saw my friends from the @stafford_dems, @SpotsyVADems, and @FXBGDems. Also saw Team @Bedell4Congress out in force. What a lovely afternoon on the Rappahannock River.

It has been an honor to watch the people of Whiteville, NC come together around shared struggle which has become a shared passion to tax the rich and raise the minimum wage. Empowering people is the best feeling.

So proud of our talented students in @SCPSchools . Ready to catch up on basic school funding (we’re making progress) and make some stronger investments in the arts and athletics. They deserve the best!

Our region is also home to so much natural beauty like Crow's Nest here in Stafford County. We deserve a champion in Congress who will protect our greenspaces, work to keep our waterways clean, and fight climate change. The buffoonery isn't cutting it.

What do I think? I'm sad. Our region has tremendous infrastructure needs. Our schools need critical funding. Our teachers and first responders need someone who has their back. Real people with real problems live here who deserve so much better than whatever this is. That's all.
I took a social media break this afternoon so that I could prepare for my lecture on the Second Amendment this evening. Seems like a lot happened here. Fun times.

VIRGINIA: Share this information widely! You have a right to protest. 📢 Know your rights, including what to do: ➡️ If you are approached by law enforcement. ➡️ If your rights are violated.
@BenLitchfieldVA Stay tuned to find out, I suppose!
Excessive force towards students who are protesting non-violently is unacceptable. The right to assemble peacefully is a hallmark of our democracy, which we must protect.

The Governor & AG don't run Virginia's universities - the Boards of Visitors and it is up to each school to decide how to handle these situations & they cannot use protests to "legitimize" a power grab @SenatorHashmi @Sam_Rasoul @VASenateDems virginiamercury.com/2024/04/29/you…
Absolutely disgusting behavior from VTPD and Virginia Tech tonight. The students have a right to speak. The students have a right to peacefully assemble. Regardless of if you agree or not, the students have a right under our constitution to speak their minds peacefully.
They are now stuffing protesters into vans and arresting them. This is not a democracy, it is a dictatorship. Stand with the students, stand for the first amendment. The VTPD and the VT administration should be ashamed. We will always stand with the freedom of students.
@beg_ulug @BenLitchfieldVA @MaryWash These young people were definitely not pro Hamas nor assets. That's the type of propaganda that zionists use.
@BenLitchfieldVA @MaryWash Tony p made a really bad decision. These young people, this is their world that we are leaving them, they have every right to protest the injustices in the world that they are going to deal with after we are gone.
Can't say I'm surprised Gov. Youngkin is out here trampling over the 1st Amendment rights of students all over the Commonwealth. Disappointed, but not surprised.
What level of donor/political pressure is driving this mad dash to sheer coercion on college campuses? This is insane. Something is deeply wrong, particularly because I doubt most of the administrators calling these shots really give a shit about Israel/Palestine/these protests.
Northwestern President Michael Schill changed the student code of conduct *THIS MORNING* to ban tents from campus as students set up their Palestine protest encampment. And he threatened students with suspension, expulsion or criminal charges. chicago.suntimes.com/israel-hamas-w…
For us, 2024 marks ongoing significance under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974, which is only 50 years ago. This was vital for financial inclusion and empowerment, amidst continued challenges like the gender pay gap. This war on women will not stand!
Antisemitism, like all prejudice, must be condemned & confronted wherever it rears it’s head. It is NOT antisemitic to protest oppression & war crimes. Jewish protestors have been a significant part of this movement calling for a ceasefire and Palestinian liberation. Don’t get it…
And, for good measure, here's a similarly diverse group of Columbia students holding Kabbalat Shabbat prayers.
Can’t believe how quickly this generation of college students went from being characterized as lazy, unmotivated and unprepared to accomplish anything to a posing such a threat to their elders that they must be subdued by snipers and cops with cuffs and clubs.
“I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. & what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom & justice have not been met.…” -MLK
We stand firmly in solidarity with the Mary Washington students who were arrested today for peacefully demonstrating against the murder of thousands of innocent lives in Gaza. We support all students’ right to peacefully dissent against injustice without the threat of arrest.
