Yes rambling incoherently again, but apparently it’s an ode to William Leavitt, the racist postwar developer of suburbs who boasted about his use of racially restrictive deed covenants & continued to try to enforce them after SCOTUS ruled them unenforceable in 1948.

Everyone’s got to have heroes.

Correct. What comes for Harvard will come to others. There is not enough space nor $ to absorb students, postdocs, faculty, & labs. What happens when the administration attacks its next target? Protecting the project of American science & its benefits requires individual and collective action - now.
I appreciate the offers from other scientists to help Harvard (students, labs, etc) through this attack, but what would be most helpful is for you to use your position to contact your elected representatives and make it clear this fight isn't just Harvard, it will affect you, and their districts too

The detention and threatened deportation of lawful permanent U.S. resident Mahmoud Khalil represents a disturbing escalation in Trump's anti-constitutional crusade.

President Trump posted on Saturday that a president "who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” as he tests legal and constitutional boundaries in the process of upending the federal government. It's not the first time he has suggested he has divine backing to enforce his will.
Trump Suggests No Laws Are Broken if He’s ‘Saving His Country’
President Trump shared a quotation on social media, making it clear it was one he wanted people to absorb: “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia.

Looks like Jeff Bezos's investment in Trump is paying off.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day."

When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."

If it wasn't clear before, it's crystal clear now: Elon Musk is the 47th President of the United States. And his presidency is going to be a government of, by, and for the wealthy and big corporations.

A horrible person. So of course Trump loves him.
Don't forget that Dr. Oz:

-Pushed Medicare privatization plans on his show
-Owns up to $600k in stock in private insurers
-Has ties to pyramid scheme companies that promote fake medical cures

His main qualification to oversee Medicare & Medicaid is loyalty to Trump.

"Dr. Oz wants to fully privatize Medicare," warned one advocacy group. "That’s why Donald Trump put him in charge of Medicare."

This is absurd.
"... that means one insurance company alone could cover every American's cancer treatment and still walk away with nearly $17 billion in profits..."

Time for a re-calibration!
