I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

In this paper, we primarily reflect on the process of finding some of the participants online...and making some people angry due to inclusive language.

People are still being sent to that horrible place without any due process.
