REMINDER FOR THE DAY: Don't do the work of the would-be censors. Don't self-censor just because Trump/MAGA doesn't want to hear it. Sure, be cautious, and take into consideration the cost of not dissenting. By self-censoring right away, are we then building the society that we actually don't want?

Has anyone or entity written about HOW we can build back up the federal government and agencies once Trump and the Republican administration is no longer controlling the executive branch?

DUKE! Remember your values! Your community is your greatest asset!

EDUCATE! Do NOT Capitulate!

STAND UP DUKE! DO NOT COMPLY

Is Chairman Trump and his administration becoming like Mao and China in the late 1940s to 1950s with thought reform and ideological re-molding? What happened to American values of free speech and thought? They're being replaced with censorship, and speaking the party line. 思想改造 / Thought Reform

Join me in a rally to demand Duke University stand up to protect academic freedom and to protect its community! Thursday, 17 April 3 - 6pm Begins at the steps of Duke Chapel #ActionforHigherEd #StandUpDuke

If the White House is looking at ways to deport American citizens who have committed crime, then Donald Trump should be first on that list to be deported. He is a convicted felon. He can self-check into the luxurious accommodations at that El Salvador prison www.huffpost.com/entry/white-...

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

We, the people, will re-institute SACHRP once we either vote this presidency out of office, or impeach & convict him. www.statnews.com/2025/04/03/h...

Saturday, April 5. Hands OFF! Protest Bicentennial Plaza, Raleigh, NC www.mobilize.us/handsoff/eve...

Trump Festival of Hate: - No freedom of expression - No free thought - Self censorship - Persecute dissent - Speak the party line Is this the USA you want? Are these American values?

To the States or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist much, obey little, Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved, Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever afterward resumes its liberty. — Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

The Trump administration and its supporters should remember that it is diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, although not called that at that time, that opened up public universities to women students. Is the Trump administration banning women from higher ed? www.facebook.com/share/v/1Ffn...

All day, I've been thinking how Trump is instilling state terror. His making America great again of course is false (and so is RFK, Jr's, Make America Healthy Again). All of them are instilling and legitimizing state terror. Trump administration has made travel for Americans very hostile now.

All of them, petty tyrants www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Executive Orders are NOT laws. They are edicts. They are instructions or memos to federal agencies and the executive branch. AGAIN, NOT LAW.

Letter from Columbia student Ranjani Srinivasan after fleeing the United States to Canada: aurdip.org/en/letter-fr...

All of the myths and fantasies we’re hearing about protesters being terrorists, immigrants invading & fentanyl being a WMD should be understood in the context of a pending report from the DOD & DHS (due April 20) about whether Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act. These people want martial law.

One would think highly educated people would not capitulate like this, because the calculus is simple: you give an inch, the bully takes a mile and more. Isn't that obvious?

(for Duke people, come join me this Friday afternoon!): The 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝘆 seeks to join with others across Duke and beyond for the 𝑁𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐷𝑎𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝐴𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝐸𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 on April 17th, with the goal of holding each other and our leadership accountable to Duke's stated values. /1

"Do not obey in advance" should now become, "Do not obey, at all."
