[Lisa Renze (she/her) @LisaRenze]

The @bsudailynews and @ballbearingsmag along with the school’s now-retired Orient yearbook, were each inducted into the @acpress Top 100 publications roll call. Thankful to alumni @Laura_Moorhead, @BernieKohn and @GenePolicinski who gave up part of their Saturday for the event.

@LisaRenze @bsudailynews I so wish I could have been there with you all! With admiration and appreciation for the people in this pic - and those absent … and those departed.

The Supreme Court has agreed to take up a case challenging social media companies’ right to moderate content on their platforms. Our senior fellow @GenePolicinski explores the First Amendment implications of such a rewriting of internet rules. https://t.co/bdcdtOdeCR

The First Amendment long functioned as a shield to protect a marketplace of ideas. Today, many brandish it as a sword to carve out exceptions for favored views. @GenePolicinski asks when it comes to your core freedoms, which would you rather wield? https://t.co/uh5FkAV8ZQ

“The history of democracy is full of demagogues exploiting the openness of democratic cultures to turn people against the very system on which their freedom depends.” https://t.co/7RuosRpBAS

@LisaRenze @bsudailynews @MuncieSchools As one of the editors in chief during the 50th DN anniversary, could not be more proud and pleased to see the outstanding work being done now!!! Congrats on the results and the recognition!

On August 28, 1963, the #MarchOnWashington marked a turning point in the civil rights movement. When thousands returned to mark its anniversary in 2020, @genepolicinski reflected on the historic assembly, including #MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech. https://t.co/MvGW3GuuXc

[Gene Policinski @GenePolicinski]

My latest column for the Freedom Forum: proposals to punish speech about abortion violate the “marketplace of ideas” protection of the First Amendment. Government cannot tell us to “shut up.” https://t.co/MHs3wFMvGr

[Freedom Forum @1stForAll]

The five freedoms in the #FirstAmendment have powered our nation’s long, divisive debate over the incredibly personal issue of abortion. They may also be how we frame its future now that #SCOTUS has sent the issue to the states, says @GenePolicinski. https://t.co/6aUZV9jZPm

A special night for the SJI family and its 350 or so alums. Thanks to @brettkurland and his ASU team, and to @JanNeuharth, @GenePolicinski and the entire Freedom Forum, our 1st sponsor and still standing strong 3 decades later!

[Freedom Forum @1stForAll]

We’re so inspired by the #FreeExpression22 Awards recipients we honored. They’ve challenged academic censorship, protected religious liberty, stood up to hate, and championed journalism and the arts.
