The purpose of academic freedom is not to allow faculty to live cushy lives free from criticism or constraint. Its purpose is to allow them to investigate widely and report (or criticize) the results openly, instead of allowing politicians to decide what is true and what is not.

Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan.

And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.

Trump likes tariffs in part because he craves being the center of attention. They go up, they go down, they get paused; no matter what happens the media goes into a tizzy and every starts talking about him again. It’s not trade policy; it’s ego gratification.
