I will bet you dollars to donuts that Ryan's resignation won't actually get the university the "concessions" they think it will. You've given in to the bully. That just increases their contempt for you, and you've shown them what they can do now. It's baffling how so few "leaders" understand this.

for the record, just over 12 percent of students at uva are black or hispanic. 12 percent are asian. 5 percent identify as "multi-ethnic." about 57 percent of students are white. this is what Trump considers to be "DEI" run amok.

And this is the main story. American elites have been unusually willing to acquiesce in going down that path, either through active support or through blindness and self-deception. Shocking. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-public...

If this action is not blocked in court, this would mean that by this fall, the Trump admin would have "de-documented" over ONE MILLION PEOPLE, stripping their ability to work legally and subjecting them to possible deportation.
Hundreds of thousands of them entered legally.

If the Maryland court certifies this class and grants the relief, it would lead to the same impact as a nationwide injunction; the birthright citizenship EO would be blocked entirely.

If so, it is time to start crafting some cool-ass laws. What a time to be a state legislator or an AG in a blue state. The Supreme Court just said you no longer have a boss. It's the last day of school, Democratic state majorities and AGs! Time to abuse some power.
