"Individual actions and collective organizing help to remind others that the actions of the Trump administration do not have broad support...Universities, philanthropies, nonprofits, and professional organizations need to remind each other of the power they have, and the principles they stand for."
New, from me: you were told that the threats to free speech came from wokeness. Some compared it to Maoist China.
Now we are witnessing government power being used to silence dissent and censor ideas. Now we know what real society-wide chilling effects look like. 🧵

18F was the US government’s in-house technology consultancy, lauded for saving taxpayer money and improving services. Here’s what it did − and what’s now lost.
