The Attack on American #Education, ..
The intention of the Trump administration is clear. By gutting important systems of education, they can shape our thoughts and words, creating a new generation without the skills required to actively participate in our #democracy ...
We call on university leaders, on our #campus and beyond, to use all of the tools at their disposal, including collective efforts across the sector and litigation, to stand for academic #freedom, and for First Amendment rights of #freespeech, inquiry, and debate, and thus to stand for our democracy."

I cannot judge, because I do not have many of the relevant facts, the wisdom or necessity of the steps taken.
But this kind of bending of the knee by major institutions, if continued, threatens American democracy.
There is strength in numbers, and I hope across American universities and American institutions more

“I’ve spent years teaching American and international government — from strong democracies like the UK to authoritarian regimes like russia and China.
But lately, the most alarming lesson comes from home.
2/ One thing I always tell my students:
#democracy doesn’t collapse overnight.
There’s no moment where a leader says, “I’m a dictator now.”
The fall is gradual. Legal. Publicly tolerated. And often cheered on by millions.
3/ Take Russia. #press

They created a separation of powers so that one person could not amass enormous power.

Black Saturday: The Day the United States Ceased to Be a Constitutional Democracy - The Intellectualist
Black Saturday, March 15, 2025, will be remembered as the day the U.S. ceased to function as a constitutional democracy. A sitting president defied a federal court order, proving that judicial authority no longer constrains executive power.TheIntellectualist (The Intellectualist)
Now, can we find a way to explain that to Chuck Schumer and the Democrats who are acting as if it’s business as usual in Washington?

One concern has been the damage to the tradition of #Democracy that a coup would do.
However if the will of the people cannot be expressed, and put into law by their elected representatives, and that law be upheld by the President and put into action by the government authorities then the democratic tradition is already severed.
#MartialLaw would just make it blatant.
Betar, a group that proudly identifies as "loud, aggressive, and unapologetically Zionist," has threatened to blow up UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese during her visit to London tomorrow.
Betar has a known history of violent harassment.

while #Trump can’t currently punish the free public for #protesting, it’s obvious he wants to. Which means he, at least, is no longer operating under the illusion that it’s a #democracy he wants. Nor a #republic."

“Half of this stuff you can’t just do and the other half is insane,” said Joseph Howley, a professor of classics at Columbia. “If the federal government can show up and demand a university department be shut down or restructured, then we don’t have universities in this country.”
