This is correct. You will find no explanation for Trump's actions in economics or political science. You need to go deep into woke academic critical theory, and there it suddenly makes sense why white male nepobabies hate communal prosperity because it undermines their dream of personal superiority.

It's a minor point amidst the serial violations of due process occurring here, but one of Trump's conditions to Columbia University for retaining funding was to ban masks. But the people sweeping up students are masked armed security officials.
Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Every mainstream attempt to grapple with the rise of Tate and other misogynist ideologues have posed them as a product of men’s despair. Few have posited them as an assault on women’s safety and dignity.
We need to talk more about how it feels to be a woman amidst this sudden onslaught of “reclaiming masculinity,” celebrating male aggression and violence, and vanishing smart experienced women from positions of power.
