in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

“I don't have another reference point for a private individual coming in, infiltrating, trying to turn government to the benefit of his businesses and locking out federal employees. It is a coup. I'm a historian of coups, and I would also use that word.”

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I was lucky to (briefly) meet & thank @stevevladeck.bsky.social after he stood up for academic freedom in front of a President and Provost while receiving an award. Highly recommend following him. We will need scholars & historians in 2025 more than ever! (Also @hcrichardson.bsky.social of course.)
