What do you expect with both houses of congress and the Roberts "supreme" court in his pocket or afraid of him or aiding and abetting him? Most of the leading Democrats finally woke up a few months ago, but they are pretty powerless. All they can do is make noise and they are doing that.
The biggest mistake Democrats made this year was electing Ken Martin to the DNC chairmanship. He likes to keep the old farts in their secure seats. Ben Wikler would have been much better in that he would have stirred things up. Martin has already bitten away David Hogg, a fantastic young organizer.
And here is what the Big 10 is doing: Banding together and punching back. Hence, you haven't heard much at all about Trump's attack on, oh say Rutgers, Penn State, Michigan State, etc. etc. Organizations need to band together and punch the bully.
I am friends with a professor at a small engineering college who says his college is in survival mode because it has lost foreign students and grants and is just waiting for the next assault.
It helps those working at such colleges to know that articles like this are being written and that they are not being forgotten.
Tim Snyder: don’t obey in advance. An extortionist isn’t going to stop with the first demand. From the past: JUST SAY NO!!! Tell him to POUND SAND! I just can’t say it often or strongly enough. Refuse to give in! 👎
What a shame that such an article even needed to be written. Our universities are but one of many parts that have made the United States so special and looked up to.
The last paragraph is about organizing to form a united front. I wondered how universities would do that. What are the leverage points that universities can use in dealing with the government? The last paragraph ended without addressing these questions.
And, you know the funny thing is no one seems to be lifting a finger to stop him.
His catalog on crime and illegal activity continues to grow and he walks the street a free man!
We are now run by Fascist Autocrats and I do not hear even a peep.
Not one small peep.

America shoots itself in the dick again, reloads, and then wonders how it keeps getting shot. Law firms, universities, news outlets: JUST. SAY. NO.
