This is a valuable new resource for scholars to explore work in light of the US's democratic slide towards autocracy. It is especially interesting to see the tracker (first comment), which catalogs the current US administration's efforts to dismantle democracy and establish an authoritarian state.
Did you know that there are now more than twice as many protests nationwide as there were in 2017? And that, like then, they are overwhelmingly peaceful and non-incidental.
The current Administration wishes to paint nationwide protests. They are lying.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy has posted a tracker for nonprofit job losses. This is an odd follow-up to its much-talked-about publication of a list of the big foundations that the new presidential administration might attack.

"For Augustine, the problem in our loving is not that it is too public but that it is too private, inordinately delimited to the narrow confines of our individual desires and interests. Like Jesus, Augustine presses us to expand our love outward..."

Where did the tariff idea come from?
Jared found Peter Navarro searching for economic advisors online. He presented Navarro. Where did Navarro get the idea of tariffs? He cites Ron Vara in his books.
The problem? Navarro made up Ron Vara (anagram of his own name) as a source!

It is in the public's interest to own and control water. Privatization does not bring efficiency or innovation... it allows greed, inequality, and human suffering.

In 1994, a secretive meeting resulted in the privatization of California's water supply, with 60% of the state's water going into the private control of just one oligarch couple, the Resnicks. They own POM, Wonderful Pistachios, Teleflora, Fiji Water, The Franklin Mint, etc. /2
There are a lot of storylines to the LA area fires. Climate change, geography, fire department budget cuts, water supply issues, fleeing insurance companies...a series of things are getting the blame. But there is also a little-known, underlying story about California's water... /1

It outlines the designs of the incoming administration to attack higher education on multiple fronts to weaken its power and change its tenor. The story is told through the lens of the Claudine Gay situation and SCOTUS fights. Note Archibald Cox's defense of diversity and affirmative action. /2
