249 years ago, July 4, 1776. America declared independence from a tyrant that refused the law, appointed his own judges, prevented naturalization of foreigners, kept his own private army, cut off trade, excited domestic insurrections, tried us for pretend offenses, and deprived us of trial by jury.

Since 1945, American Universities have been envied worldwide for their Government-funded research.
Hard to justify via corporate R&D, frontier science is vital to our long-term health, wealth, & security. To withhold University funding is to amputate the engines that Make America Great.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.
