Academics & others need to understand a few things.
A 🧵
I) First, fascism is not inevitable.
Research on autocratic movements show that only about 3,5% of the population need to resist to stop them.
Fascism thrives on the silence of the friends.
That why visible resistance matters.

In addition to going through the website, I strongly encourage people to read the letter from Harvard's President, Dr. Garber.
We need more scientific institutions to show this level of courage, no matter the risk. In fact, we need *all* institutions to stand up*.

The Promise of American Higher Education
No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue

No, President Trump, they’re not “transgender mice." (But they're not "transgenic" mice either, as some scientists claimed.)
Let's clear up all the confusion.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.
The show must go on.

So, they are
- illegally dismantling US govt, disabling Congress
- burning our alliances, turning US into global pariah
- reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit, unraveling US public health system
- putting backdoors into Treasury
This feels more like an attack on the US than a new government.

My brother has been a wildfire fighter for 10+ years. His top safety advice to me has always been to be the first one on the road. It's doubly true with 0% containment and LA traffic. If you're thinking of evacuating, and your gut is telling you that you'll need to, don't wait for the order. Leave.

Justice delayed was justice denied.
NEW: Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the charges against Trump in the DC election subversion case without prejudice. This allows the Justice Department to refile charges once Trump is out of office.
BREAKING: Special Counsel Jack Smith asked a federal judge to dismiss the charges brought against Donald Trump in the DC election subversion case. Smith asks for the case to be dismissed without prejudice and leave open the possibility for charges to be filed again in the future.
