They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term.

They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship.

Are we all clear on this?

The Trump administration can’t threaten to punish media organizations like ABC and the New York Times because they don't like what they have to say.

The right to speak freely, protest peacefully, choose our own religious practice, and access a free press is foundational to our democracy.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

The problem is that there are many good publications that address the very issues the admin is bringing up, but they’re ignoring them to cherry pick and distort. We can’t let their ‘reports’ stand without comment. Formal responses from recognized experts will help.

In April, the AAUP & our Harvard chapter sued the Trump admin for demanding that Harvard censor speech & restructure core operations or else face $8.7 billion in funding cuts.

This looks like a great model to follow. Groups of actual scientists “peer reviewing” the outputs of Trump’s hand picked sycophants. If you see something, bring it to BlueSky to recruit a team. 🧪
