I've been puzzling over the claim that "at Harvard University. . . violent crime rates . .. have drastically risen" & this is why we mustn't have international students.
How did I not notice that spike? Was I unsafe all along? So, it turns out the claim mostly involves thefts of electric scooters.

The propaganda value of this footage will haunt us for a long time.
Fox News will play it on a loop.
Fascist forces in foreign countries will use it to prove America is in disarray.
But the fight against American fascism must continue.

It would seem this is not one of those good "updates"...
If you're at one of the targeted institutions and have an active NIH grant you might want to check ERA Commons immediately for an "updated" NoA
