“There is a distinct difference between ‘unity’ and ‘solidarity’: where solidarity recognizes our differing social contexts and positions but still highlights the criticality of working together, ‘unity’ pushes a violent doctrine of sameness.”

Very worried about what this means for UC San Diego medical and Rady’s Childrens.
Here are the 25 institutions that receive the most NIH funding (98% of HHS is NIH). Basically, they're large schools with large hospitals. They receive 50% of all NIH funding.

(Not going to do a whole thread but thought folks might be interested.)

Higher ed institutions need to step up not just to save themselves, but because democratic institutions are an important part of a larger resistance against an over authoritarian project. The stakes couldn't be higher. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/blog...
Higher ed must resist authoritarian rule. It's the mission.
Trying to make your institution a smaller target isn’t going to work.

FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO TURN ANGER INTO ACTION
Here’s advice from a high-level staffer for a Senator. I’m retyping from Allison McGuffie’s post, which she cut and pasted from a friend.
There are two things that we should be doing all the time right now, and they’ve by far the most important things.

The more of us can be awake and clear in this moment, the better we can respond with power to the horrors they are hoping to unleash. The easier to organize. To show up.

Pointing again at my US Blue State Challenge. If you live in a "blue state", pick the red state you hate the most and the issue you care about the most and find a group in that state working on that issue and support them.
One thing I don’t understand is why, when people are outraged by some injustice or affront — like book bans — they don’t first look to see who is already tracking the issue, who’s already working on education + organization. “We need to do something!” People *are*. Find them. Help them.
