Like MAGA, transphobes have gotten everything they wanted in 2025. And, like MAGA, they've never been more vitriolic toward the institutions they've captured, more disgusted by their wounded victims, more ready to plough forth into realms of cruelty that even they would have balked at a year ago.

I mean, reactionaries (including those with a red rosette) already think universities are for effete rootless cosmopolitan ‘anywheres’, whether UK-born or international: the boosterist rhetoric about int'l students only flatters their prejudice.

Magari non sanno di essere gongoozler, ma è incredibile come gente di ogni età e di ogni origine si fermi incantata a guardare le barche passare nelle chiuse, o addirittura le segua. (E ovviamente a quel punto glielo spieghiamo, che questo fa di loro dei gongoozler).
