If you own a historic house, it takes months, if not years, to get all the necessary permits to renovate your home.

If you’re an authoritarian President hell bent on turning the White House into the Mar-a-Lago of the Mid-Atlantic, it takes no time at all.

So, Thomas Jefferson's university is planning to re-segregate.
UVA agreed to the "Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination" (link down thread). UVA pays nothing and does not get an outside monitor (unlike Columbia).

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling.

It’s the People’s House after all.

So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.
