How is the top University in the Bluest state in the US reacting to Trump’s attacks on Academic Freedom in the form of the “Anti-DEI order? The answer is: NOT good. A thread 🧵 about how the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa is responding to these attacks.
Do not obey in advance: Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

When people say "what do you expect Senate Democrats to do when Republicans control the Senate":

1) Deny a Quorum
2) Block Unanimous Consent
3) Max Out Debate Time
4) Delay and Disrupt
5) Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump’s other nominees
6) No business as usual
DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN TRUMP’S AGENDA Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought’s nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump’s extremist agenda. Here’s how: 1) Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don’t have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely. 2) Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process. 3) Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk’s Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze. 4) Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down. 5) Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump’s other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues. 6) No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have. Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process—no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump’s takeover.
