I do hope the around gain more steam Some turnout at Schenley plaza in today - no sign of PA Senators Fetterman or McCormick who were scheduled for a book related event (that got canceled for "logistical reasons" apparently).
Next Saturday there'll be more - part of the US nationwide protests against this awful awful administration

The image depicts a protest scene with a crowd of people. In the foreground, a person is holding a large white sign with red text that reads "TRUMP IS A RUSSIAN ASSET." The sign is held up high, making it the focal point of the image. The text is written in a bold, capitalized font, and the letter "T" at the beginning is stylized with a graphic element resembling the Tesla logo. In the background, another sign is visible, which reads "I AM STEALING FROM YOU" and features a photograph of a man's face. The crowd appears diverse, with individuals wearing various types of clothing, including hats and jackets. The setting includes a large tent-like structure and buildings, in and around the park
The image depicts a group of people gathered outdoors, likely at a protest or public event. In the foreground, a person is wearing a long red cape and a white visor, standing with their back to the camera. The red cape is prominent and covers most of their body, with the hood up. The person is holding a phone in their right hand. To the right, another individual is partially visible, wearing a black shirt with a yellow logo on the back. In the background, several other people are present, some holding signs, including one with the word "Resist" visible. The setting appears to be a park or public space, with trees and a canopy structure in the background. The ground is a mix of grass and pavement, and the atmosphere suggests a peaceful gathering.

The image features a large inflatable chicken with a distinctive design. The chicken is predominantly white with a golden head, resembling a hairstyle with a prominent pompadour. It has a red wattle and a golden beak, with a golden comb on top of its head. The chicken's body is plump, and it has large, golden feet. One of its wings is extended, pointing upwards. The inflatable is tethered to the ground with white ropes, and it is situated on a grassy area with a paved path nearby. In the background, there are people walking and some vehicles, indicating an outdoor public space. The sky is partly cloudy, suggesting a daytime setting.

Super glad colleagues at CMU are organizing & speaking up. A letter from a few initial signatories was made public to garner wider support and now has >100 signatures.
Addressed to our Univ Prez and Provost (who did just earlier send out a nice statement to everyone emphasizing among other items that we would not compromise "CMU’s values of creativity, empathy and compassion, inclusion, integrity, and sustainability." ) Here's the open letter

Google DocsOpen Letter from Members of the Carnegie Mellon University CommunityDear President Jahanian and Provost Garrett, We write to you as deeply concerned members of the Carnegie Mellon University community. We condemn recent actions by the Trump administration that threaten academic freedom for researchers, teachers, and students at all US universities. We applaud the actions you have taken thus far in committing to support all affected students through the end of the year and your recent statement emphasizing CMU's continued commitment to fostering an inclusive, engaged, and supportive community. In no way do the Trump administration’s recent actions align with CMU’s values of creativity, empathy and compassion, inclusion, integrity, and sustainability. The actions of the Trump administration are in direct opposition to CMU’s mission to “cultivate a transformative university community committed to (a) attracting and retaining diverse, world-class talent; (b) creating a collaborative environment open to the free exchange of ideas, where research, creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship can flourish, and (c) ensuring individuals can achieve their full potential.” The US leads the world in innovation. This is due in no small part to our excellent and independent universities. These institutions cannot foster new technologies and generate new knowledge without freedom of thought and expression. By threatening to withhold federal funds, the Trump administration hopes to silence universities and end academic freedom as we know it. We are passionate about our work as teachers, advisors, and mentors for the next generation and we are outraged by recent illegal detainments and deportations of trainees, recent graduates, and faculty from US universities. Mahmoud Khalil, a recent Columbia University graduate, was forcibly removed from a residence on Columbia grounds and detained by ICE, apparently for participating in constitutionally protected free speech. Dr. Badar Khan Suri, a postdoctoral scholar at Georgetown University, was detained and deemed “deportable” by the Department of Homeland Security though he was not charged with a crime and there is no evidence that he has participated in any illegal activities. Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a physician and professor at Brown University, was detained by US Customs and Border Protection at Boston Logan airport and deported in defiance of a court order. Mr. Khalil has a green card. Dr. Suri has a J-1 visa. Dr. Alawieh has an H-1B visa. We have been fortunate to welcome the best scholars from all over the world to US universities; their work is essential to our continued excellence. The tactics of the Trump administration are putting a stranglehold on our international collaborations. They are silencing and frightening our international students and scholars. We need to stand now and express our opposition to the rapid erosion of our freedom of thought and expression and we need to call on all other US universities to do the same. We urge you to lead CMU in the following actions: Publicly denounce the Trump administration’s punitive withholding of federal funding and detainment and deportation of international scholars without due process. Confirm that CMU will not cooperate with any federal requests for information about students, faculty, and staff unless strictly required by law. Publicly commit to provide stopgap funding for terminated or frozen federal grants in instances where previously supported students and staff will not be paid. In the event of lost federal funding, we ask at a minimum that [i] current graduate students be supported so that they can finish their degrees; [ii] postdoctoral scientists and staff be supported until the end of their current contracts. Protect the CMU community’s right to free speech, academic freedom, and privacy regardless of threats to federal funding and preserve CMU’s commitment to all current programs regardless of changing governmental ideology. Please join the undersigned in defense of our indispensable freedom of thought and expression.
