Opinion | Ukraine’s valor is reminiscent of Britain’s in 1940 It may be lost on Trump, but Ukraine’s battle against Russia’s invasion is just remarkable.

"Ukraine’s resilience is inconvenient for those Americans who are eager to proclaim that the geographically largest nation entirely within Europe is inevitably doomed to defeat, dismemberment and domination," George Will writes. wapo.st/45FPLt4

Once again, not only an assault on higher education, but also an unprecedented authoritarian attack on property rights, the sanctity of legal contracts, & the rule of law. Even if you hate everything about academia & professors, you should be terrified & furious about this.

NY Times: Our tips for fighting authoritarianism:

1) Acknowledge the authoritarians are popular with some
2) Many of the intentions they claim are good
3) Many of the goals they claim we can get behind
4) Some of the people they're killing are let's face it mad annoying
5) oops out of space
