The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable.

Why is the top hit when I search up “rally” about the stock market? Who is mobilizing people against this insane Neoreactionary coup? A picnic and primal scream in the Mall sound good, with a march to the White House in between.
