This needs to be framed beyond academia, as most on the right want to see it suffer. This needs to be framed for how devastating this will be for the economy, at all levels (local/state/fed) as these budgets send billions across the country in people’s salaries/etc.

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 17/04/2025
You’ve probably seen people mention the 3.5% Rule. But do you know what it really means? 1/
White text on black background with a big 50501 logo at the bottom. The 50501 logo is a blue circle within a white circle within a red circle. The blue circle has "50" over another "50" and a big "1" to the right of those 50's. The blue circle also has a ring of white start near its outer edge. Text at the top reads: "What really is the 3.5% Rule?"White text on black background with a small 50501 logo at the bottom. Text reads: What is the 3.5% Rule? Political scientist Erica Chenoweth (they/them) studied over 300 violent and nonviolent campaigns. They found that when 3.5% of a population joins in a “peak” action, movements have been highly likely to succeed at “maximalist” goals, such as removing a national leader. The 3.5% rule helps us imagine what’s possible. In the U.S. that’s about 11.7 million people or about 107 people in every city and town. We don’t need everyone. We just need enough. Source: Erica Chenoweth, “Questions, Answers, and Some Cautionary Updates Regarding the 3.5% Rule” (2020)White text on black background with a small 50501 logo at the bottom. Text reads: The 3.5% Rule; Maximalist Goals; Historically, when 3.5% of a population has joined together in non-violent action, success at achieving “maximalist” goals has often followed. Maximalist goals are the most ambitious demands a movement can make such as removing a national leader from office, ending an occupying force, or achieving territorial independence. These goals seek to change who holds power or control, rather than making policy reforms within the existing system. Source: Erica Chenoweth, “Questions, Answers, and Some Cautionary Updates Regarding the 3.5% Rule” (2020)White text on black background with a small 50501 logo at the bottom. Text reads: The 3.5% Rule; 3.5% is based on peak participation, not cumulative participation; Many people mistakenly think the rule refers to everyone who ever joined the movement. Chenoweth’s statistic is about how many people were involved at the movement’s largest moment of visible, act of resistance. The rule is descriptive, not prescriptive; Chenoweth only noticed the 3.5% pattern after the fact, when asked how many people it takes to win. The number was not part of the original hypothesis or a forecast; it emerged from the data. Source: Erica Chenoweth, “Questions, Answers, and Some Cautionary Updates Regarding the 3.5% Rule” (2020)

This is why I say you - local professor - should write for your local papers. Many cases they are doing great work. In other cases not, but they’re small ponds in which you, big fish that you are, can really have influence. And the right has long known this.

10 days ago Trump fired hundreds of FAA employees, weakening the systems air traffic controllers rely on. Maybe instead of handing Elon a $2 billion FAA contract, we should use that money to actually hire and retain the workers who keep our skies safe. Just a thought.

For the people who used to ask 'Why do you have to be so political?' I hope that it's now obvious why. Healthcare is political. Housing is political. Education is political. The air we breathe, the water we drink —it's all shaped by policy and power. Ignoring that is a political choice.
