A union that represents university professors and other academics published a guide on Wednesday tailored to help its members navigate social media during the “current climate.” The advice? Lock down your social media accounts, expect anything you post will be screenshotted, and keep things positive. The document ends with links to union provided trauma counseling and legal services.

The Expulsion of Academic Teaching Staff from German Universities, 1933-1945

One of the first stages in 1933 was the expulsion of professors whose unreserved support for the national state is not guaranteed.

What asinine advice. Is keeping quiet going to help anyone but the fascists?

Chilling effect in effect.

Its going to help some professors who only really care about themselves not say what they think and keep their jobs because they value their comfort over anything else.

Is posting online going to hurt the fascists? Not really, no, you should be organizing in person.
