There is so much to ponder in your excellent piece. Acts of cowardice (some law firms, tech billionaire bros) are met with acts of bravery (some law firms, Harvard, a reemerging Columbia). Drump's outrageous and illegal blatant acts of extortion against any and all who oppose him must be met with resistance on all levels of society. This rape of our country cannot be allowed to go unchallenged or we will wake up one morning to find ourselves living in Gilead, El Salvador, Hungary, Russia or some other iteration of dictatorship. On les aura!
"Harvard quietly began preparing its own defense, including issuing bonds that could fund some of its operations..." Very clever, off the radar offensive measure. I'm sure there were other such measures. One main problem for Trump is that his people are not the best of the best (by any measure) while Harvard's people are some of the best of the best. Harvard also knows about strategy as opposed to Trump's public chainsaw bullying.
It’s not just authoritarianism … but a damaged desire to injure those he thinks are “better” than him. And that includes people who can think and walk at the sane time, the “elites” (people who earn money rather than inherit?) … well, everyone who has passed on the Kool-Aid.
A friend shared this collective letter from many colleges and universities. Her university signed it. I have to still see whether my husband's university signed it.
This is what the news and social media should collectively do, and the legal firms should do this as well. Then, they should have a collective lawsuit against the administration.

You mean MAGA doesn’t even glance at the pages before burning?
WOW. My second "Like" from Aaron Rupar. Made my day.
