I would love for leaders in higher education to show some proactive leadership. Rather than being scared, reactive, and constantly saying “We’ll continue to monitor the situation”, it would be nice to see “We will stand firm in our values and support our faculty, staff, and students.”

It’s weird how we’ve memory holed the fact that Obama entered his first term with a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and a majority in the House and McConnell’s response was “We’re going to make Obama a one-term president,” not “there’s little we can do”

For real. Rhetoric is at the heart of everything.
Scientists and journalists need to figure out right quick how to explain to the average person how a massive change in research indirects will impact the medical care they and their children get (eg at the local children’s hospital), the education their children will get, the price of tuition, etc.

Fuck that “resistance is joy” bullshit. Thats horse shit for hippie centrists and liberals who don’t ever have to worry about anything harrowing.
Resistance is the real work and you need to be rested and at a good mind to do it. And when you cant get that you gotta take it where you can get it.

But when it comes to cutting aid budgets no one says “let’s spend less money on Israeli or Egyptian military capacity”. Instead you want to start by taking healthcare and education away from people who have been made vulnerable by the structural injustices you create and benefit from.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
