Fascism
Trump post that says “all federal funding will stop for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested. no masks! That you for your attention to this matter.”

Life imitating art (although I wish it wouldn’t). Also if you have seen Andor you should.
From Andor TV show. “So much going wrong, so much to say and all of it happening so quickly. The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It’s easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident.”

The federal funding freeze was only halted until Monday. ***Don't just post on here what a funding freeze would do to your research and the people funded by it. Call and email your reps and tell them!***
Call script for MOC on the Trump Administration freezing all federal aid You: Hi, my name is [NAME], I'm calling from [Zip code]. I am calling from {House member/senator] to speak out against President Trump's action on Monday in freezing all federal aid. This is blatently illegal; the Executive Branch can't unilaterally decide to ignore laws that were passed by Congress, especially when it comes to financial aid. Members of congress must take action, and clarify how they will stop by the freeze and ensure that the milliions who are directly impacted by the financial aid will not be harmed.

AOC, calling it like it is. Congress needs to start doing their job.
AOC message "Trump is holding all the nation's hospitals and vital services hostage to seize power from Congress and hand it over to billionaires. We must state the truth: this is a constitutional crisis. It's a massive, illegal power grab that the House and Senate have a sworn duty to stop."
