Normalcy bias is a hell of a thing. People really think it can't happen here as it's happening here. People bargain against reality in a collective delusion to avoid acknowledging how bad things are.

Trump’s crackdown on Harvard just exiled 6,800 international students. Futures shattered, visas revoked, degrees in limbo—all to punish a university for defying political pressure. This isn’t policy. It’s political retribution.

Watching Project 2025 unfolding before us, it’s hard to think this is a problem of not enough information. So many Cassandras have been crying out for two years the dangers we are now seeing, only to be ignored. How many have to feel direct pain for enough to care? I’m afraid we may find out soon.

![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 24A966
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, ET AL. U. GWYNNE A. WILCOX, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[May 22, 2025]
The Government has applied for a stay of orders from the District Court for the District of Columbia enjoining the President's removal of a member of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and a member of the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), respectively. The President is prohibited by statute from removing these officers except for cause, and no qualifying cause was given.
See 29
U.S. C. §153(a); 5 U. S. C. §1202(d).
The application for stay presented to THE CHIEF JUSTICE and by him referred to the Court is granted. Because the Constitution vests the executive power in the President, see Art. I1, §1, cl. 1, he may remove without cause executive officers who exercise that power on his behalf, subject to narrow exceptions recognized by our precedents, see Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 591 U.S. 197, 215-218 (2020). The stay reflects our judgment that the Government is likely to show that both the NLRB and MSPB exercise considerable executive power. But we do not ultimately decide in this posture whether the NLRB or MSPB falls within such a recognized exception; that question is better left for resolution after full briefing and argu-ment. The stay also reflects our judgment that the Government faces greater risk of harm from an order allowing a removed officer to continue exercising the executive power than a wrongfully removed officer faces from being unable to perform her statutory duty. See Trump v. International](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreihpfprz3gcbibsuvscdqwzmycut2tseklgiqiug2vq7zg3b6suh7e@jpeg)

By the way, both women who ran for president were right. They predicted this moment would happen. Says something very disturbing about our country that many still think they’re unrealistic or dramatic, when they were and are, in fact, correct.

USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?
