The University of Texas at Austin has been brought to heel by conservative critics of higher education. It is part of a broader transformation at the state’s universities. The campus is no longer led by an academic, but a Republican lawyer who worked for the state’s attorney general, Ken Paxton.

Trump is welcoming MBS, the Saudi crown prince, to the White House. This is the dictator who had a U.S. columnist murdered for criticizing the Saudi royal family.

Sadly, we have a president who prefers the Saudi model — an autocracy run by a trillionaire family — to democracy.
