    The moves against educational institutions, archives, and libraries are so pernicious because they reveal a radically illiberal agenda and the detrimental effects won't become apparent for years or even decades.

    What's worse is that it doesn't seem like it's in the best interest of any individual institution or the interests of people running these institutions to resist, so it becomes a coordination problem between getting all the institutions to work together to oppose these actions.

    So this money is already appropriated and going to be redirected to institutions that pledge fealty?

    Man that's a lot of fiat.

    So anyway Trump's former AG Bill Barr's father hired Epstein with no degree to a college profession at Dalton. His father also wrote a science fiction book about the rich sexually exploiting poors which Epstein just so happened to copy.

    And then Epstein tapes come out and he says he was best friends for 10 years with orange... I mean Trump. PDF FILE IN THE WHITE HOUSE of representatives official website. Yes that last sentence was a play on words. LOL
