We continue to stand with Judge Dugan against yet another authoritarian attempt to silence dissent, punish dissenters, and intimidate everyone else from ever joining them. Obstructing fascism is our duty, not a crime.

STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S PLANNED COMMENCEMENT SPEECH

UACD is shocked and disgusted to learn that our unpopular, divisive, and authoritarian President will be involved in commencement for the graduating class of 2025.  This insult will not go unanswered.

The last time the disgraced criminal visited campus, he was able to turn the Alabama-Georgia game, the biggest college football game on our campus in years, into a political sideshow.  We cannot allow this to happen with our commencement ceremonies.

For all his meddling in UA affairs, Donald Trump lost our campus to former Vice President Kamala Harris last semester.  UA is not a fascist playground.

STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S PLANNED COMMENCEMENT SPEECH

The Trump administration ~kidnapped one of our Ph.D. students~ for no reason a few weeks ago and is holding him without bond at an ICE black site in Louisiana.  There is no greater insult than this.

Given that the White House has pulled federal funding from colleges and universities across our country, we understand if the Bell administration may be stuck between a rock and a hard place.  We simply don’t want UA to be turned into a backdrop for MAGA propaganda.

UACD and its partners are actively mobilizing in response to last night’s news.  We will have more updates whenever possible, and we hope to update everyone in the next few days.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Our Democracy in peril! We MUST stop this, because it is NOT business as usual. The #GOP are dismantling our system of government day by day. We MUST have people speak up, especially our ex-Presidents.

The silence from them has been deafening to put it mildly. Does anyone with power and money give AF about what is happening? Or are they all just obsessing over how to maintain their status regardless of the rest of us?

As we look at an administration that will undoubtedly reactivate the draft because enlistment numbers have plummeted, they are actively stripping benefits from veterans.

My dad was drafted. His stomach cancer was directly tied to his job burning munitions during Vietnam.

Resist.

Experts worry that DEIA bans are part of a push to undo the 1964 Civil Rights Act Civil rights experts worry bans on DEIA in education and government are part of a larger, ongoing push to undo the country's 1964 Civil Rights Act.

I spoke with @audiosand.bsky.social for @npr.org All Things Considered about the fact that the "Anti-DEI" movement is an anti-Civil Rights Movement.

Every day I am amazed at friends who are trying to carry on like shit is normal. Here we are at our panel at SXSW about something they're defunding next week. Look at this great veteran employment conference as they're firing thousands of vets. Here's a pic of us touring the White House! Wake up!

Even if you were on Team Schumer before, you have to admitβ€”his record against McConnell has been abysmal. Chuck has dropped the ball too many times, proving he’s no match for today’s Trump-led Republican Party.

Even worse, the people believe he sold us out. It’s time for @schumer.senate.gov to go!

Everyone in media is again asking are we in a Constitutional crisis. STOP!!!! We have been in crisis for sometime and it is being organized by a Russian asset who happens to be President. The question that should be asked is how do we get out of this crisis? Who is left to defend America?

None of us can be sure what will β€œwork.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never β€œsure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.
