An expert on the Library of Congress tells Rolling Stone that Trump’s takeover attempt is “dangerous,” given that the Library’s sub-agencies provide confidential legal advice to members of Congress and help police misconduct by lawmakers.

(1/2) 1966년, 미국 정부는 옐로스톤 국립공원의 뜨거운 온천에서 살아남는 박테리아에 대한 연구를 지원했다고 합니다. 그때 당시에는 73℃, 화씨로는 163℉가 넘는 온도에서는 어떤 생명체도 살 수 없다고 믿었었지요. 그런데 결국 연구자들이 그런 상황에서도 생존하고 있는 박테리아를 찾아냈고, 연구를 끝마쳤다고 합니다.
이쯤 되면 많은 분들이 "그래서 뭐?" 라거나 "세금으로 별 쓸데없는 연구를 한 거 아니야?"라고 생각할 수도 있을 것 같아요. 지금 현재 미국 정부의 태도를 보면 이런 연구는 아마 지원받기도 힘들겠죠?

I had my share of dictators in South Korea during the 70s and 80s. But I did not expect to see another one in the U.S. T's words bring me a déjà vu. If it goes on, soon you may see undercover law enforcement on college campuses. I truly hope not to see this in the country I chose to call home.
