America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

This ain’t about abortion, it’s about punishing folks who can’t afford private care and women who dare to demand control over their own bodies.
Shutting down clinics means more undiagnosed cancer, more untreated STIs, and more folks left out here with nowhere to turn.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

We’re seeing violent attacks targeting people for who they are, what they believe, or how they choose to live. That’s unacceptable.
