I misspell things, and don’t use commas correctly and it’s not because of autocorrect.

Thinking about not sharing news stories about the people/orgs who obey in advance b/c I don’t want to contribute to the nihilism and sense that this is all inevitable. That is not the case. Yet everyone I know is affected by the kowtowing cowards and it feels relevant. How are folks holding this?

I think it’s important to analyze this activity in terms of power:
1. They are threatening current & future federal employees about what happens if they don’t follow orders
2. Creating openings for loyalists
3. Creating opportunities for privatization
4. Raiding for resources, money and info

Theories I’ve seen for why Musk etc are cutting federal jobs so randomly & irresponsibly are mostly (a) to replace jobs with AI, (b) to force privatization by breaking everything, or (c) sheer ignorance/incompetence. I suspect a mix of all 3, but the disregard for lives in the meantime is sickening.

Higher-ed faculty, we should ask how far our institutions will go to protect us when we refuse to comply with ICE.
We need to be asking chairs, deans, union presidents what they're going to do to protect us should we refuse ICE entry to our classrooms or should we refuse to identify a student.
