Thanks for having me on!

She continues: 'The state of Idaho claims it has the right to forbid pregnant women and girls—and onlypregnant women and girls—from receiving emergency care that could save their lives.' Pregnancy sabotages your right--to life.

'Alito’s questioning treated these catastrophic injuries to pregnant women as if they were mere distractions from the true subject at hand: the embryo or fetus ...invested with all the humanity that the pregnant woman lacks' --Mary Anne Franks msmagazine.com/2024/04/19/ida…

There's a ton of police brutality right now, but there's also more and more of this: students standing their ground and refusing to be forced into silence. Thread.

WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University.

I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet.

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

1/4🧵 on the 'intent requirement' in the new law criminalising creating deepfakes:

Victims must prove the state of mind of the creator. Only 'intent to harm' is criminalised. 'For a laugh', for example, is not.

This creates a truck-sized loophole.

My Ms. Magazine piece on the #EMTALA case has been updated with my quick take on yesterday's oral argument: msmagazine.com/2024/04/19/ida…

Idaho’s EMTALA Challenge Has Got Women Dead to Rights. The state of Idaho claims it has the right to forbid pregnant women and girls—and onlypregnant women and girls—from receiving emergency care that could save their lives.

How are far-right extremists simultaneously exploiting concerns about campus antisemitism while promoting antisemitism? Like this. She argues to “shut down as much of the universities as we can” and promotes Great Replacement — which has fueled mass murder of Jews & others.

A whole lot of people who've spent years calling the younger generation 'snowflakes' now apparently want armed guys in riot gear to protect them from teenagers sitting peacefully on the ground

Also reminded that these universities *welcomed* white supremacists and didn't arrest them but *provided state protection* to white supremacists in the name of free speech.

I've always thought FIRE was a deeply hypocritical organization, but this time they've outdone themselves.

Today #SCOTUS justices will decide whether they believe Idaho's #abortion law is in direct conflict with #EMTALA . Dr. Mary Anne Franks says the case will determine if Idaho is allowed to exclude a pregnant person from receiving what she calls 'basic protection.'

That turn from the “special snowflakes demanding safe spaces are an existential threat to free speech” to “a student said something I don’t like bring in the National Guard” sure was fast

If you want freedom of expression on campuses and the only time you want it is when Richard Spencer is coming to town, well, you don't want freedom of expression on campuses.

I also urge us all to start talking about #DigitalForgeries following the lead of Dr. Mary Anne Franks Danielle Citron Cyber Civil Rights Initiative These are false representations, stealing someone's likeness and sexual identity.

I think it’d be more honest if people clarified that they’re in favor of free speech for issues that they believe in and highly limited speech and potentially even ruthless suppression for perspectives they dislike. This appears to describe most self-identified free speech…

Great debate tonight at Cornell University on the topic of free speech and open inquiry on campus. Thank you to our speakers Ilya Shapiro and Dr. Mary Anne Franks, and our moderator Amber Duke. Thank you everyone who joined us, either in person or through livestream! If you missed, the…
