America under Trump is assiduously destroying its universities on a false premise of fighting antisemitism; our own universities are at risk of doing it to themselves. Either way, a society without academic freedom is not free at all.

It’s been 30 years since I arrived in America. As a 12 year old refugee, I could have never imagined I would have the opportunity to represent the community that welcomed me with open arms 🥰. I'll be forever grateful for the American people who gave me and my family a second chance at life.

Outright extinction and/or apocalyptic societal collapse are more pleasing visions than what we see: society persists but everything is harder, more grim+unfair. More benefits to the few hoarders, less to those w/ the least. Fossil fuel world doesn't grind to a halt, it just gets worse and worse.

Joann had a sprawling retail footprint and was a victim of the slow US decline toward cheaper, more disposable clothing, but they also suffered a blow during Trump's first term. Trump's 2018 tariffs increased cost of imports and US equivalents were too expensive for customers.
