Same playbook that the Chinese Communist Party has been using to disrupt any constructive academic discussion of its human rights abuses on American campuses: sending provocateurs with party or military backgrounds to disrupt class or event proceedings and recording the faces of every attendee.

In 2024, we warned of the darkness of a future Trump dictatorship. Jailing leaders of American cities, disappearing dissenters, and using military force to harm Americans. That future is on our doorstep.
But we can stop it. Don't be afraid to exercise your power and tell Trump enough is enough.
