[FIRE @TheFIREorg]

FIRE is deeply troubled by @UNC’s decision to condemn satire and announce an investigation into protected student expression.

The @dailytarheel, which is editorially and financially independent from the university, published satirical April Fool’s articles with headlines like “Trump Orders Alcohol Law Enforcement in Chapel Hill Replaced with ICE Agents” and “UNC Brings Back DEI-For Whites.”

After calls for takedowns from student groups and the student body president, the paper took the articles down and its editor-in-chief apologized.

Hill After Hours, a separate registered student group, also posted and deleted a TikTok sketch satirizing a stereotypical white student walking through an area of campus where predominantly students of color have historically lived.

In response, Senior Vice Provost James Orr issued a university statement condemning the satirical content and announced the university was investigating Hill After Hours.

That is not the role of a public university. Students and student journalists do not lose their First Amendment rights because their speech is offensive, unpopular, or badly received. Critics are free to answer with more speech. UNC is not free to answer it with condemnation and investigation.

UNC-Chapel Hill’s response also raises serious concerns under North Carolina law, which requires UNC System institutions to remain neutral on “the political controversies of the day.” A university cannot claim neutrality while taking an official side against protected student expression.

UNC-Chapel Hill must retract its statement and end the investigation. Offense is not license to police protected expression.

@Arrogance_0024 Super duper asshole take bro. Risking blood and treasure is one of the things that separate us from countries like Russia and Iran, who clearly don’t care whatsoever about the lives of their soldiers or citizens.

@GoodVibePolitik Go join Hamas and fight Israel you weak cuck!

@MagaMalinois @nicklalota Hilary moved to NY and won a senate seat. Total BS. Would you rather have a dem in NY1? Nick is doing what we sent him there to do which includes not setting the NY1 ablaze.

[mhm @polyneixes]

@MagaMalinois @nicklalota Menendez and the rest you mentioned. Awful, the lot of them. Nick doesn’t belong in the same tweet. And he has more integrity than all of them combined. We’re splitting hairs. Elections won and principles held are worth everything in my book. 1/n

[mhm @polyneixes]

@MagaMalinois @nicklalota Anyone who really understands what’s going on right now realizes that RINO has lost its old meaning. It now means anti-MAGA or not MAGA enough. Good luck winning elections with the guys that keep losing elections.

[mhm @polyneixes]

@MagaMalinois @nicklalota If you want to be on a team with liars and frauds, you can choose to do so. But realize that inside the GOP “tent” there are people who don’t want the tent to include hard-core racist, habitual liars and criminals. We get a say too. 3/n

@SergeiVRussia Do you cry that Wagner group Nazis were paid by the taxes of Russians?

[mhm @polyneixes]

@SergeiVRussia That is hilarious.

@bernybelvedere And yet our only alternative is a clearly shaky, meandering, mumbling old man that needs staffers to physically direct him and shield him/hide him for fear of even worse behavior making it on camera.

@SergeiVRussia @qwlltrm @IAPonomarenko One of the things Russians are most well known for, worldwide, is stealing.

Ukraine aid money is going to Alabama to produce the following systems: High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), Javelins, M1A1 Abrams tanks, M2A4 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, Hydra-70 rockets, M777 howitzer parts (Paladin M109A7), M88A2 Heavy Equipment Recovery Combat Utility Lift Evacuation System (HERCULES) vehicles, and Stryker armored personnel carriers.

This is creating jobs for your constituents and hot assembly lines in factories in Alabama that will benefit U.S. national security.

Why are you voting against Alabama defense jobs?

@MBPMarkLevine Hey, Mark, could you possibly discuss the thousands of illegal migrants flooding NYC causing (yet another) huge crime wave?

[mhm @polyneixes]

@JohnJHarwood Watched video. It’s a meandering, rambling, mostly fact-free word salad coming from a man who was likely on all sorts of supplements, medications & extra sleep just to appear sorta with it. John, you’ve proven for years that you don’t have integrity - you’re a water carrier.

[Tom Cotton @TomCottonAR]

This is blackmail.

And an admission that Biden controls the level of illegal immigration.

The entire border crisis is by design.

Nine russian strategic Tu-95 bombers and a bunch of iranian shaheds are in the air right now whilst fucker carlson is asking the guy who dispatched them about his "reasons".

@BasedMikeLee Pls explain in detail how letting Russia have its way with a massive country serves our national interests considering our trade, relations, travel apparatus and NATO alliance with European countries.
