We write to resist. We make art to resist. We walk to resist. We engage in dialogue to resist. We teach ourselves and others to resist. A paradigm shift does not occur without resistance.

Trump justifies his war on foreign students with false accusations of antisemitism. It's a lie. They are kicking out people for speeding tickets and frog embryos. Vance gave the game away by saying foreign students are "bad for the American dream." www.salon.com/2025/04/17/j...

Harvard has refused to let the Trump administration run the university. The response is now an all-out war on the school. First, a freeze on federal funding. Next, a demand that the IRS revoke Harvard's tax-exempt status. Now, a ban foreign students. At some point, they will just sent in troops.

Cheering Harvard for declining to force its teachers and students to be monitored and censored and turned into the authorities when they don't toe the line? That's not `spine'; it's self-preservation.

They called the targeting of brown people of another faith and erosion of civil liberties the “patriot” act so you would feel guilty or fearful for being against it. So you would adopt an us versus them mindset. You were being groomed for autocratic rule all along.

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

This 👇🏼. The option is always available to refuse to vote for any evil, “lesser” or otherwise. If someone is telling you that this isn’t always an option, they are lying and trying to sell you on supporting evil. That person is part of the problem. We can always do better.
