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.
Edit: thanks for all the great ideas! Unfortunately the students organizing this feared low turnout on short notice and are cancelling the event.
Anyone up for helping crowdsource chants for our anti-fascist MASKerade? Here's some things we've been toying with so far:
"You gotta fight! For your right! To prooo-test!"
"MAGA is the mind virus, that's why they're scared of masks."
... Yeah that's all we've got so far. We need help.
@FantasticalEconomics I love the protest! I'll think about the chants & hopefully others will have ideas.
I've always loved something along these lines.

There is a shocking lack of protest songs these days.
The last I knew, Neil Young had an album for Bush2.
I was raised in the 1960's and protest songs were where it was at.

In popular culture yes, but a contender has entered the stage. Check out Jesse Welles!

Those are awesome, but Mackelmore is the only one close to the mainstream popularity of much of the 60s protest music.

Thanks for this!
