I wonder if anyone has ever looked into what happens when elected leaders with authoritarian tendencies create massive law enforcement divisions accountable only to them that are comparably funded to the military but specifically designed to be used domestically.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

A US judge has ordered hundreds of terminated research projects at the NIH to be reinstated, calling the processes that led to their cancellation “bereft of reasoning”.

Judge rules against NIH grant cuts — and calls them discriminatory
Nature - The decision means that the US biomedical agency has to restore funding to hundreds of research projects, but the government will likely appeal.

🚨This is a HUGE escalation and a deliberate effort to use the government against Trump's enemies. Weaponizing the Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification against Harvard to punish them for pushing back is a new low — and needlessly punishes thousands of innocent students.
Trump just revoked the ability for foreign students to enroll at Harvard. Every foreign student, which is in the thousands, enrolled for next year at Harvard will not be able to continue studying if this isn't challenged in court.

This intolerable attack on Harvard’s independence and academic freedom is plainly government retaliation for Harvard’s speech standing up for itself and the rule of law. America must rally to the side of Harvard and its students in court, in Congress and in our communities.

States 𝜌 are psd matrices with unit trace; measurements E_k are psd and ∑_k E_k = Id; probability of outcome k is Tr(E_k 𝜌); Dynamics are unitary matrices acting by conjugation. Computations start in some state, |0⟩⟨0|^⊗n, apply local unitaries and output is a measurement in the standard basis. QED

Excerpt from Roger Howe's "Perspectives on Invariant theory: Schur duality, multiplicity-free actions and beyond".
I will make sure to start next term's lecture on Schur-Weyl duality with "Now with the multilinear algebra nonsense out of the way, let's do some double commutant yoga!"
