This is what half of the USA support. We are a doomed nation. I have to take a mental health break and pray a lot. I did vote today.

Voting!! Now.

One of the lesser known points in Project 2025’s plan is to strip the Naval Academy of all autonomy, including curricular freedom. Thanks to craven cowardly administrators this has already happened. There is a lot at stake when we jettison academic freedom. It is a canary in a coal mine. 3/
