My new op-ed with @lkfazio.bsky.social:

Trump sent a 'compact' to our universities. They should reject this devil's bargain.
Any institution that yields to these broad and intrusive demands would forever be subservient to the whims of the government.

Brilliant arguments against universities joining the so called “compact” in this oped from @lkfazio.bsky.social and @brendannyhan.bsky.social

www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Moreover, giving preferential treatment to submissive institutions would undermine the excellence of American science. To reach goals like curing pediatric cancer and developing better treatments for opioid addiction, we need to invest in the best research ideas, not divert support to weaker studies from universities whose leaders traded away their independence for cash. Government funding should reward scientific merit.

In the same way that the birther lie was not WHY folks hated Obama. Rather racism made people hate Obama. Birtherism was a post-hoc (also conveniently racist) justification for that preexisting hate.

Jacob Montgomery @jacobmontgomery.bsky.social · 1d

What people cannot seem to get through their heads is that the justifications the Trump administration uses to attack higher education is a *pretext* not the actual reason. There is no reasonable permanent compromise available, because their actual goal is control.

Danielle Allen fails the Lando test / lives out the Arrested Development meme: "A deal on the core principles in a compact could then become a framework for negotiating on legislation." Come ON. With this administration and this Congress?

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Within 24 hours of the Kirk shooting, top Trump officials and administration lawyers were drafting legal memos, writing blueprints for possible executive actions and prioritizing which liberal organizations and strongholds of the left needed targeting.
