Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."
So, a university president fired a professor because they taught a course that discussed there being more than two genders, and now the university president is being fired for not having fired the professor quickly enough, is where we're at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

On June 14, in the hours after the shootings of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, hundreds of thousands of people protested against the Trump administration. Chillingly, several people, at least some of them counterprotesters, were arrested with guns at demonstrations across the country.

The fact that Germany is at 81% should freaking mean something!!!
Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?
