This is specifically about universities. It is very important to see how fascists and authoritarians in other countries have attacked them. And to think, as Gessen does here, about constructive responses.

BIG LIE: “if you make it in America, you won’t pay the tariff”…. Why is this false? Because while the Florida orange 🍊 itself isn’t tariffed—all the equipment needed like hoses, tractor, bags, netting, labels, truck to move the orange, store shelves, lightbulbs, refrigeration units—will be tariffed.

Reddit is flooded with small businesses owners getting crushed by tariffs — devastated by the thought of raising prices, firing workers, or closing up shop entirely.

Several countries have recently managed to stop and even reverse the erosion of their democratic institutions.
In each case, people resisted growing authoritarianism.
This shows that when democracy deteriorates, its fate is not sealed, and democratic institutions can be reclaimed.

Trump has created the illusion of getting a lot done because:
a.) Whereas past administrations were constrained by their inclination to obey the law, he doesn't give a shit
b.) He cares more about the illusion part than the actually getting stuff done part
c.) The media falls for it every damn time

Don’t think this is just a war on the Ivy League. It’s a war on all higher education. The benefits of higher ed don’t redound just to students; they also buoy local economies across America.
And silence in the face of this threat is dangerous.

@Television news organizations may believe that avoiding a term like Gulf of Mexico is a fairly harmless concession. But … cute linguistic gymnastics amount to a surrender. Words are the front lines of truth, and once they’re ceded, it becomes far easier for strongmen like Trump to shape reality.”
GULF OF FEAR: This past week, when NASA astronauts returned to Earth, TV news networks avoided calling the body of water they splashed down in as the Gulf of Mexico.
Instead, they performed linguistic gymnastics to stay out of Trump’s crosshairs.

Gulf of Fear
When news anchors tiptoe around the name Gulf of Mexico, it’s not just semantics—it’s a glimpse at how the press starts to flinch under political pressure.

Hungary has banned Pride events, permitting the use of facial recognition technology to target participants.
Yet last month, neo-Nazis held their annual gathering in Budapest with no objections from Viktor Orbán's government.
This is why we call it gender fascism.

🇪🇺🚫🏳️🌈Hungary just became the first EU country to ban Pride events in Viktor Orbán's latest anti-LGBTQ crackdown, allowing authorities to use facial recognition to identify and punish disobedient attendees.

We keep thinking the people who were mad at Biden about inflation are going to get mad at Trump about inflation but the thing is, if he doesn’t die first, he’s not leaving. His party is acting like elections don’t matter. Why are we thinking in terms of normal politics?
Lots of people are still looking at the Tesla stunt as an example of an incompetent president who’s going to get his party in trouble. I don’t know why we’re still thinking in terms of normal politics. He just destroyed the Department of Education and no one stopped him.
