We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

Shame on @nytimes.com Michael Barbaro for giving Christopher Rufo 40 min to proselytize the alleged dangers of DEI and higher ed without the scantest evidence based data to support any claims (and bragging about attacking Dr. Gay - despite the utter debunking of his claims of her plagiarism). 🗑️🗑️🗑️
