There are links in the article, but for anyone who hits a paywall or just likes to click less, my suggestions for people who want to stand up (in/near/about academia/higher ed) are:
1) go to WeAreHigherEd.org and find a LOT of links & connections & resources & news & people fighting back.

Useful frame for understanding Trumpism from @aselrod.bsky.social:

"It’s not merely rule by the worst but an active assault on virtue wherever it exists. Trump/MAGA have turned the country over to the cruelest, most rapacious, and least honorable among us."

Those willing, by contrast, to trade away the rights and dignity of transgender people or the poor cannot be considered friends of democracy any more than those who were willing to countenance second-class status for blacks and Jews.
Anyway, it is true that democracy will be on the ballot in 2028. But it'll be on the ballot for Democrats well before the general. And the party's task is creating democracy, not defending it. That demands both an attentiveness to structural politics and a willingness to defend the equality of all.

Right now in Michigan, we’re in the middle of a budget showdown. 

The Republican Speaker of the House slipped a provision into the budget that would kneecap our Attorney General – and make it near-impossible for us to take the Trump Administration to court.

*crafted to diminish Sojourner Truth

Based on first hand accounts, Sojourner Truth did not say, "Ain’t I a woman?”

… Truth was savvy about her own image. She commissioned photographs of herself and sold picture cards with the astute slogan, “I sell the shadow to support the substance.”
