I think that Canada is setting an excellent tone for this.

Surely every university in the country should assign an American buddy or team of buddies to protect their international colleagues. Be with them all the time and stop and nonsense from happening. More collective action to protect the innocent and their first amendment rights.

Did no one learn anything from the Liz Truss debacle? Or is it too irrelevant for those in the White House to care?

What hurts this administration?
Local harms - hold rallies, not protests, in areas where people are harmed by Trumpism.
The market - drive divestment. Especially of Tesla. But any accommodating corporation.
26 OR BUST - secure the election, get candidates, drive turnout.
Force the budget.

I also feel like no one was paying attention to that bit in intro microeconomics that talks about dis-economies of scale. Huge organisations become inefficient because they need a lot of bureaucracy. The US is kind of a big country. Get over it!

Grandparents remembered polio. Human beings are supposed to be able to gain knowledge from other humans, which distinguishes us from the rest of the animal kingdom. These days, it seems that people must experience hardship themselves in order to take action against (e.g. diseases, war, etc.).
