The destruction of independent media outlets and the attempts to bring higher education to heel are part of a united authoritarian strategy designed to destroy checks on their propaganda.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Federal immigration officers wear a bewildering array of labels, tactical gear and clothing accessories from different agencies, often wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves.
It's sometimes not possible to know which agency an individual works for.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Maybe media, politicians & academics should also look into claims this racism & fascism is because the working class 'demand' it. These elite far right grifters have contempt for the working class & no interest in addressing economic/material inequalities. It's just racist, classist divide & rule.
Matt Goodwin makes a living out of railing against university educated elites & his whole schtick is "he was the first person in his family to go to university", which is a bit weird given that his Dad, now being heavily invoked for his Manchester connection, appears to have a string of degrees.
