Furthermore, given that all of this has literally no basis in the law, or civil rights, and it's entirely about Trump saying "if you don't help me do fascism, I will slash your profits" there is no mechanism which identifies what degree of collaboration is "enough."
If tomorrow Trump says "either you help me make the case for murdering brown people and taking away the right for women to vote, or I'll cut your funding and deny you contracts" - they're RIGHT back in the crosshairs.
"What about the *research* funding?"
I mean what about it? Do you know what we called German doctors and scientists who submitted to and worked with the Nazi regime to do science/medicine? Nazis.
If the cost of your research is "I have to help fascists do fascism" then maybe you should look for another job because I can assure you, if we survive this, nobody is gonna say "oh we totally understand that you just did Nazism to keep funding your experiments." They're gonna say "you helped Nazis."
