I have a call to action:

Texas just passed laws gutting free speech on campus - banning protests, censoring faculty, & giving politicians the power to silence dissent. Other states - Arizona, Indiana, Ohio - are considering similar laws.
We must fight for academic freedom & democracy before it’s gone.

(2/2) Because this isn’t a transition. It’s the calculated, unconstitutional destruction of one of America’s most respected foreign policy institutions—carried out in full view.
Because I took an oath to the Constitution. Not to power. Not to silence. And that oath still stands

(1/2) Yesterday, USAID leadership thanked us for our “resilience” as they dismantle the Agency and terminate our careers.
I didn’t stay silent.
I wrote back.
