If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

According to a 2021 report, the University of California system:
• generated $82B in economic activity in California
• supported 529K jobs in the state
• generated $21 in economic output for every $1 received
Public divestment from higher ed makes no sense, even in the narrowest economic terms.

University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

"The FAA is losing not only its chief air traffic officer but its associate administrator for commercial space, his deputy, the director of the audit and evaluation office, the assistant administrator for civil rights and the assistant administrator for finance and management."
Huh.

This story has a dozen or so nice anecdotes on why institutional competence matters and exactly what we've lost by this administration's hackneyed "reforms."

Trump’s actions are pushing thousands of experts to flee government

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration over the expected unlawful and unprecedented invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.
This is the same policy used during WWII to justify the internment of people of Japanese ancestry.
