As artists and educators, we must act boldly and immediately to support each other and provide students with the tools for dismantling and resisting this authoritarian menace to organized human life. Human activity is making the world less habitable while putting more people in it, and that doesn't make any sense, unless you like war and famine, or believe that hastening the apocalypse is a good thing. Many Americans do. It's the year of a presidential election. After the last one, there was a bloody insurrection in which anti-democratic zealots attempted to forcibly seize control of the federal government. That time, they failed. But they're still here, and in the meantime, they've introduced and passed unprecedented, draconian laws at the state level, decimated long-established court decisions at the federal level, and continue to run private militias and organized crime units all across the country, sometimes with the protection of an official uniform. They're ready for action. Are you?
