This is what fascism looks like.
As someone arrested at a campus protest last spring, I have major qualms with how the Biden administration handled campus dissent. But it was nothing compared to what we are in for now.
Our reaction to this statement will help decide if Trump's regeime is able to consolidate power to form the strong-man dictatorship he envisions. Our reaction should be to protest in force across every campus while wearing MASKS.
Edit: organizers cancelled the event in fear of low turnout on short notice. Pivoting to other action.
UC Denver, along with our sister schools on the shared Auaria campus, are having a MASKerade on Monday to protest Trump's attack on our constitutional rights.
This is the time to stand up, all across the nation. We can still prevent the worst of what #Project2025 has promised us.
I hope other schools voice their concerns alongside us, and that folks in the Denver area join us Monday 3/10.

It's sort of unbelievable, how appropriate and funny a protest would be in the States just now, that involved everybody buying a dozen eggs and just covering some Congressman's office.
Can't imagine why you'd pick on a campus, frankly; talk about Nth-priority targets compared to a congressman.
Don't forget the posters to just plant on the eggy coating on the office facade.

Students!
Don't forget to get in touch with your local retired people. We can take jail time much better that you can, having nothing to do, and an assured income whether employers are pissed or not.
Do not egg your congressman. While it might be construed as free speech, since eggs don't hurt much, there could be handcuffs and tedious court time.
Get your AARP friends to do it.
