It's not my university, and not my job, but if it were, I would fight like hell to stay in place in the face of this intolerable intrusion into academic freedom by our tyrannical president. You have to consider the next 200 years, not just 200 days.

WTF is a "sky tracker"??? Does Trump mean radar, or is this some weird-ass SciFi fantasy?.
"We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured “stuff.” Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA." - President

NPR is bringing the spice to their coverage of the military parade and protests yesterday, especially with their pictures: showing no crowd at the parade, massive crowds at the protests, and this one - boredom, disgust, sleeping Melania, and a perfect typo in the caption!

There is! And its leader lives on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC. The sooner we put that MAGA insurrection down, the sooner we live up to the sacrifices that our soldiers made on D-Day to beat nazi fucks in Europe. Don’t worry, Stevie, we’ll beat you nazi fucks here too.
An insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States.

Today is D-Day, the annual commemoration of a day when America, Britain, and Canada banded together to launch a fight to rid Europe of fascism. Today we must fight to rid America of its fascist MAGA leadership. We must not prove unworthy of the sacrifices those men made in 1944.
