Occupying a campus building, blocking students from attending classes, and vandalizing property is not protected by the First Amendment, full stop. It’s illiberal. It’s illegal. And it should be punished.

No student should be denied access to their campus because of their identity or beliefs. Mob blockades against targeted students are illiberal and unlawful and cannot be tolerated.

Do older people and people in authority really mean what they say about the First Amendment? Do they believe in free speech—and can they handle it? Right now, too many leaders are failing the test. ✍️: @WillatFIRE 📰: @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
"Part of a liberal education is having that diversity of voices on campus. That's a feature, not a bug!" FIRE's @1AMorey joined @jaketapper tonight to answer the biggest free speech questions amid unrest on American college campuses. 📺: @TheLeadCNN
Free speech and physical safety can be mutually reinforcing. Colleges should aim to safeguard both. Latest for @TheFIREorg: thefire.org/news/freedom-o…
With protests surging, colleges struggle to distinguish First Amendment-protected speech from illegal conduct. To clarify what’s protected and what’s not, college admins must adopt and consistently enforce policies grounded in free speech principles. thefire.org/news/freedom-o…

TAKE ACTION: FIRE is urging UT Austin to ensure all charges against peaceful protesters—and any disciplinary sanctions against them—have been dropped. While we await their response, join FIRE in demanding Gov. Abbott recommit to upholding 1A rights! thefire.org/news/texas-tra…
Students nationwide are protesting the Israel-Hamas war. Some protests are legal and protected. Some are not. How do you tell the difference? FIRE’s latest Q&A has the answers. thefire.org/news/heres-wha…
FIRE's President and CEO @glukianoff: Colleges and universities should be citadels for self-reflection and talking to those you disagree with. The unrest on college campuses shows how far some have strayed from this central purpose of higher education. 📺: @CBSMornings

JUST SENT: FIRE urgently wrote UT Austin to condemn the disturbing display of force against pro-Palestinian protests on its campus that was cheered on by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. These vulgar displays of power violate both the First Amendment and state law.
As ever, at public universities in particular, the first amendment applies.
JUST SENT: FIRE urgently wrote UT Austin to condemn the disturbing display of force against pro-Palestinian protests on its campus that was cheered on by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. These vulgar displays of power violate both the First Amendment and state law.
"Simply put, yesterday’s show of force in response to a peaceful gathering and the dozens of arrests of peaceful protesters, and at least one journalist, make clear UT Austin has abdicated its constitutional and state-mandated obligations to protect expressive rights on campus"

@ARozenshtein @TheFIREorg I’m so proud to be affiliated with them. Their position pieces are deeply rational and principled.
A lot of hyperbolic criticism of @TheFIREorg in last day but this is exactly what you want from a First Amendment defender
UPDATE: In the wake of the shocking events at UT Austin yesterday, FIRE filed public records requests last night with both the university and the Texas Department of Public Safety. We’re looking into UT Austin’s protest-related comms with state officials. We’ll keep you posted…
The greatest respect that officials can show to national symbols is to trust that they will be honored through choice. Whether in Hong Kong or in Louisiana, forced patriotism is no patriotism at all. My latest at @thehill: thehill.com/opinion/civil-…
Extremely proud of our team @TheFIREorg's fight for Priscilla and constitutional accountability for officials who turn basic First Amendment freedoms into crimes. You can read our SCOTUS petition here: thefire.org/research-learn…
This is Priscilla Villarreal. Priscilla is an independent journalist who was jailed by police and prosecutors in Laredo, TX, for her First Amendment-protected news reporting. The federal district and appeals court ruled the officials who turned basic journalism into a crime do…
@HeerJeet @bendreyfuss I give money to @TheFIREorg to worry about defending the principle of free speech among private universities so I don't have to.
VICTORY: Mark your calendars: Sept. 6 is now ‘First Amendment Day’ in Eastpointe, MI! This comes after FIRE settled a lawsuit with the city after its former mayor shouted down constituents in 2022 who criticized her during the public comment period of city council meetings.
Very rare these days, this is why I support @TheFIREorg.
@fire is dedicated to defending a principle: the right to free speech and free thought. Having a principle means that you follow the same code in all situations, and your actions are predictable, fair and nonpartisan.
I've written plenty about the academic freedom issues posed by US campuses in China. But this could certainly be a new campus free expression challenge: San Francisco's mayor wants China's Fudan University to open up a satellite campus — in downtown SF. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/lon…
An absolute privilege to represent these brave women and secure this result. Let it be known, if you violate the First Amendment, @TheFIREorg will be on it
5/ “With this settlement, Eastpointers can have confidence their voices will be heard and local governments can be left with no doubt there are serious consequences for violating the First Amendment,” said FIRE attorney @CTFitzpatrick.

On the Berkeley law student dinner incident, this is the question I've been getting all day from friends, journalists, etc. Here's the condensed version of how I'm answering it: 🧵
@LauraPowellEsq What’s the crux of the 1A argument? Because it’s a public school-related function (maybe school $) it’s a public space?
Amazing night in Dallas with @TheFP. Grateful to @cenkuygur, @SohrabAhmari, @nickgillespie, @AnnCoulter. And a huge thank you to @TheFIREorg 🔥🔥🔥
