This isn't about pronouns or land grants, no matter how hard that excuse is used. It is about Trump's administration destroying future decades of science, about dismantling the ability of the people to limit the oligarchs, about due process, about a respect for the separation powers that defines America's system of government, about the ability publish and communicate factual data about health, poverty, climate, and myriad other topics inconvenient to those currently in power.

Trump is president. He deserves every chance to reshape the government - but he MUST do so through constitutional processes. He is welcome to advocate for and organize legislation. He is welcome to advocate for and organize even constitutional amendments.

But his approach has wounded, deeply, a critical element of the rule of law. And once that disappears, we all lose everything.
