A hat tip to the @texastribune.org for this excellent, balanced reporting of the events leading up to Texas A&M losing a professor, a department chair, a dean and then a university president. All because of disruptive stunts & secret recordings by a single student. The shape of things to come.

The plan for NSF is to demote its director to an advisory role to what a former senior figure compared to a Soviet political commissar. Also, greatly reduce the role of rotators from academic departments to consolidate administration power. This is a disaster for science and innovation.

To recap, Trump signed a proclamation saying that after midnight tonight, no one with an H-1B visa may enter the US unless they have paid $100,000. However, anonymous White House officials are saying it doesn't apply to people with current H-1B visas â yet there is NO official guidance! None!

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. He is actively working on destroying the US's entire vaccine infrastructure.

He explained to a student (while being secretly recorded): I can't fire a professor because you were offended by the mention of LGBTQ+ perspectives in a class on literature. He still fired the professor under pressure & now he's out. Conceding just emboldens tyrants. ALWAYS.
