In "Strongmen" by Ruth Ben-Ghiat, she outlines the authoritarian playbook 1925-present. They start by arresting disaffected groups, then transition to disappearing troublemakers to detention facilities and later just killing them. This will include reporters, judges and finally sitting politicians

You don’t have to agree with someone’s views to defend their right to say it. This is what authoritarian regimes do, not us.
If this ruling stands, it’s not just the end of a legal case, it’s the end to free speech.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

I've been told that being a successful researcher will require pivoting, adapting, & a willingness to "scrub" grants of "contentious" words. But I worry that as researchers self-censor, we will also inadvertently promote this administration’s misguided agenda. This isn't how science works.

“For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality."
This is a rather telling statement. Nearly a third of women in Louisiana are Black. www.businessinsider.com/gop-senator-...
Maternal death rate isn't as bad if you don't count Black women, GOP senator says
Louisiana's Bill Cassidy said the state's maternal death rate isn't so high if you "correct our population for race," Politico reported.
