Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:
He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.
He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.
He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.
Keep fighting.

We've been conscripted. It's stressful but we are stronger than them. Make them rue the day they targeted our scientists and communities. Oh, you want war? Let's give them war. 🧪
If you care about science & higher ed in America right now, your world has changed.
We have been forced into a battle we didn’t choose.
Whatever our titles, our jobs now also includes emergency response, psychological first aid, organizing & many other things we weren’t trained in

It’s illegal and it’s wrong.
