Trump’s latest target? The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one of America’s last truly wild places. His administration just announced plans to open it up for oil and gas drilling, turning 1.56 million acres of pristine wilderness (home to polar bears, caribou, and migratory birds)

They’ve gone from attacking marginalized communities to attacking the community in general. Now they are openly attacking religious institutions.

UVA had a 151 year long DEI program to insure adequate representation for the white male. By adequate, we mean 100% of all students. It has barely been 50 years since women and minorities have been admitted. I would say they are due 100 years more of preferable treatment.

Tapping into endowments cannibalizes the future for the past. If they blow their entire endowment plugging holes in their operating budget, then the next deficit kills the university.
That's why Trump and his folks are so focused on this in the first place.

One final thought on this. It is astonishing just how fully right wingers have come to dominate social media. The default for teenagers who are on the internet is for them to be sucked into a world where they are bombarded with content from Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Andrew Tate, Fuentes, Peterson.

I know this is just anecdotal information from a small focus group, but still...it's terrifying to think that we've now reached the place where young "conservatives" can listen to Nick Fuentes and think "it's so unfair that people call him names like antisemite, racist, and fascist."
