Balaji Srinivasan suggests giving Elon Musk “control of a huge swath of land surrounding Starbase, Texas” & designate that land as “a military base or … similar, so that [Musk] can fence it off & determine at his sole discretion who can enter.” Then replicate in other states w/ other Tech Bros. 1/

sometimes it is hard to explain the constant feeling of dread and anxiety when you're a non-white person in category #2
the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps

as someone who worked with and knew people organizing in our grad program for more diversified syllabi and reading lists... i WISH it was this easy 😀
the truth is that no one can tell the faculty to do anything they don't want to do lol let ALONE the DEI committees

I know it's a right-wing, anti-DEI talking point, but do regular people think this? That DEI offices were auditing faculty syllabi and ordering them what to teach? Maybe I'm naive, but that level of detailed attention and oversight sounds far-fetched to me from any higher ed admin unit.
