Now this, this is the way to defeat an autocrat

Now, this, this is the way to defeat an autocrat: flocking behaviour. Rutgers University Senate has called for the Big 10 academic institutions to create a joint defence fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack. Go read it.

How to defeat an autocrat: flocking behaviour

Do not sleepwalk into autocracy.
