"Antisemitism is a problem... (including, for example, the Republican Party)... Trump and his allies’ record of tolerating, flirting with, and even embracing various antisemitic figures, the idea that the administration cares about combating antisemitism is simply not believable."

President Alan Garber @harvard.edu, there is still time to acknowledge the democracy crisis we are in and change course.

Would like to see more discussion about the chilling effects on staff… oh wait…

You’re doing good, sir. I’m reading your name often and hearing your voice in the necessary dissent. Thank you.

ryanenos.bsky.social•8 days ago

Thank you. We all have to do our part. Especially if we have the privilege to be heard.

Agreed! Trying to do my part with the library and the HUCTW but their silence is disheartening.

ryanenos.bsky.social•8 days ago

Lots of silence from people who need to do better. Thank you for doing your part.

"Rather than defending higher education and democracy, they are emboldening and strengthening their attackers."
