Show support for higher ed this Tuesday 4/8 with the #KilltheCuts rally in Boston! Our fights are connected and higher ed is one of the canaries in the coal mine. Taking down universities, free thought, and independent knowledge is a strategy of authoritarians. Higher ed needs your solidarity!

It was a beautiful day on Boston Commons to be with the the @mass50501.bsky.social community…the resistance continues to grow. It will take 3.5% of the population to restore democracy, but as I shared today, it can be done—we must continue to stand up to the bullies in fed regime, together!
