When Scott Pelley described standing up to Bari Weiss's power, he was also describing a moment of standing up to the Administration. The saying no was bigger than Weiss. Someone whose voice is audible should make that point. Stand up.

When cruelty has been chosen as the driving principle, the posture and definition of the self, then every action and every decision and every policy will be cruel. In cruelty is disdain. Everyone is or eventually becomes the Other. No relationship, agreement, or alliance lasts.
