We’re visiting college campuses across Texas on our Clear Eyes Full Hearts Tour. Tonight, it was so great to be back at my alma mater. Hook ‘em Horns!

The University of Texas is on the verge of becoming one of the top five public universities in the country. But will a new conservative administration and political meddling by Republican lawmakers mess up a good thing? texasmonthly.com/news-politi…

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day. And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.

NEW: In August, UT president's office reserved the LBJ auditorium for an unnamed event. That event, students realized this week, is TPUSA's Ben Shapiro talk Oct. 7. UT said events staff in the office were consulted about venues bc of security concerns.⬇️ statesman.com/news/education…

UT leadership has taken a greater role in campus events. Though University Democrats struggled to find a space, leaders helped Turning Point USA secure a venue for an event. statesman.com/news/education…

With 3 days to go till the event, we needed $20,000 more dollars to fund this event. We were struggling to find the money, and then this community came in and supported us in ways no one else did. We at @UDems are eternally grateful!
This community 💙🙏

We hit our fundraising goal and brought @hasanthehun to campus! Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts. Thank you to the hundreds of students who braved the rain, security measures, and back and forth! Solidarity is the answer!

Hasan Piker just got gifted a custom UT Austin Texas Longhorn jersey with his name on it. His reaction was priceless. 🥹🤍

We are halfway to our goal. Despite the insane people who want this event to fail, we’re inspired by the thousands of people who have been supporting us and this event with @hasanthehun. Your support helps us keep going in the face of all of these threats secure.actblue.com/donate/fr…
Hasan Piker watched a clip from @majorityfm of Sam Seder taking a call from one of the students who work for @UDems who are trying their hardest to get Hasan Piker to speak at @UTAustin. The student talked about the death threats and blueprint planning of an attempted assassination of Hasan that some unhinged people have been engaging in online. The amount of hurdles that Hasan and the University Democrats have had to endure over the past few weeks to uphold their rights to free speech is insane.

Thanks to all of the incredible support, we’ve raised over $6,000 for the event today alone! We still have a ways to go, however. Every dollar goes a long way to keeping this event and free speech alive! secure.actblue.com/donate/fr…
A chatter asks Hasan Piker why HE himself can't just pay the $25k that @UTAustin is absurdly charging for security fees. Hasan explained that not only does he speak at these college campuses for free and pay out of pocket for his travel, but it is a fee that the University is supposed to be covering innately. It is a needless hurdle that they are hurling at his event because Hasan is an anti-Zionist. Hasan also highlighted the fact that people like Ben Shapiro get paid to speak at these campuses from alumni and various organizations. Hasan does not get paid for any of his speeches or appearances. People never keep the same energy for Republicans.

Hi, y'all. Apparently @UTAustin is trying to charge @UDems high security fees to try to stop Hasan Piker from having his event at their campus. This is absolutely ridiculous. The University Democrats have set up an Act Blue donation link to help combat those ridiculous fees. It is absolutely insane what being a staunch anti-Zionist in the Western world does to the brains of these pro-Israel individuals and institutions. Please donate if you can or at least share the link around. The lengths they're willing to go to get this event cancelled is insane. secure.actblue.com/donate/fr…

If you support free speech and our right to discuss genocide on campus, donate to our free speech event fund🍉 secure.actblue.com/donate/fr…
Hasan Piker reads an article published by the Austin-American Statesman about his event at @UTAustin with @UDems being pushed off campus and potentially cancelled. Colleges in Texas have hosted real neo-Nazis at their establishments before, but UT Austin is trying to ensure that a Twitch streamer who speaks out against genocide can't have an event that has already been sold out? What the fuck is this?

@UTAustin As a professional Senior Network Engineer I have to say set up time is barely 5 minutes to grab a mic and a speaker. Can you accommodate this request? Usually the mics and speakers are already set up. I hope things go well for your event @UDems 15 mins tops.

We’ve been told no because of set up time. However we also told them we’d be okay with a half built set in the background 🤷‍♂️ Bass is controlled by the Provost, a political appointee… I wonder why they won’t accommodate the “Democrats” and @hasanthehun
