If money is speech, and corporations are people, then #UTAustin, through the #UTIMCO non-profit corporation that manages its endowment, should be allowed to divest from any investment vehicle it so chooses, regardless of what #abbott or any other #Texas lawmaker thinks to the contrary. I'd love to see that conundrum make its way to our present supreme court.

So... the internet is FAST as all ways.
I believe there's already video of the moment Carlos from ABC7 was arrested.
I'm not sure these colleges and local PDs are ready for the backlash they created today.
Out here throwing reporters to the ground and dangling rifle muzzles in their faces on live streams. smh good luck with that

Despite the chaos of a simmering police riot, the student reporters continue asking hard hitting questions.

Another angle of Carlos from FOX7 being arrested has emerged: https://partyon.xyz/@nullagent/112328602106113667
The OP has a bio that says "I religiously devote myself to Texas Football" and his caption for this clip was "Guy with camera gets rko’d by police".
... I'm not going to lie, I had to google RKO and I'll be damned if Chris from Austin who loves football isn't right about this cop abuse!

The students have re-taken the lawn. They are reportedly cleaning up the trash left by the cops and working to continue the day's teach-in activities.
I'm still seeing a lot of recent posts about intermittent arrests from police.

“When members of the public are engaged in a peaceful #protest in a public space—assuming they are not obstructing traffic, or disrupting campus activities—there is very little legal basis for law enforcement to demand they leave.”

I get your point. I also find that quite undemocratic, in particular regarding the UT #Austin campus.

The UT Austin protest got very interesting today.
Started with DPS police officers marching onto campus as a column.
Police came armed with batons, over 100 rounds of rifle ammunition each.
A few officers carried teargas launchers and AR-15s.

Clearing the Air: Long COVID Sufferers Call for a Healthier World
Even young, healthy Texans can suffer for years after COVID infections.Kit O'Connell (The Texas Observer)
In Austin, apartment complexes with fire suppression sprinklers are not required to build a window in every bedroom. Natural light is key to human health.
Developers have built thousands of windowless bedrooms in Austin. Now, the city may outlaw them.
University students, along with professors, have advocated for this change, arguing that living in bedrooms without windows is unhealthy.Audrey McGlinchy (KUT)
