        Threats of violence impelled state authorities to stifle speech. Would love to hear the "progressive" case for why that's #actually good.pic.twitter.com/OE9BDBOyWG

        School administrators cited "violence" as the reason for canceling the speech -- so the ACLU is reproaching them, not individual protesters.

        I'd agree that conflating all forms of disruption with "violence" is wrongheaded, but don't see how ACLU has done that here.

        I don't see that as a conflation. The specter of "disruption" and "violence" are both illegitimate reasons for the state to restrict speech.

        But that doesn't mean disruption is equivalent to violence, and I don't think ACLU suggested that.

        I wonder what all the newfound ACLU fans would think if they knew ACLU spent last 8 years suing & denouncing Obama administration?

        I don't get how people claiming that we are witnessing the rise of a fascist regime could advocate for speech suppression.

        Everyone needs to stand up for free speech whether you agree with it or not. That's the point of the 2nd amendment.

        No, that's everyone carrying a gun whether they're qualified to use it or not. You're thinking of the 1st amendment.

        @ACLU The university didn't invite her. A student group did. Without consulting the school to schedule a proper/secure venue.
