Tenure will not save you. You live in a shrinking circle and the people in charge are cowards, quislings, and collaborators.
The only path forward is to tighten ranks and fight. They will betray you. You will be targeted. You will be disappeared. Together we can resist.

They’ll come out of *everything else* (except sports 🤯). From the humanities, arts, social sciences — fields that perfected learned helplessness over 3+ generations of cuts. In those fields, “solidarity” is an idea, not a thing you do, and *definitely* not something you risk your career over. [14/x]
