Someone Needs To Do a 'Follow The Money':
Or Follow The Property Ownership.... A lot of the people having their Visas and Permanent Resident Status revoked on the "Whims" of the Current Administration are actually property owners . They own Homes, businesses etc. in many cases as do their family members.
I have a NASTY suspicion that they are being targeted because someone or some developer is picking up their property for a song, in some states a quick grab for unpaid real estate taxes can mean they lose the property if they are not here to pay it. Property is changing hands in major cities out of this and the surrounding suburbs because of the events.... who Benefits is key. I think Trump's allies and sons could easily be the ones buying up real estate this way...
Unfortunately I don't know any working Journalists any more to put this suggestion to....

Scientific American delivers a scathing article about the theologists holding the majority in the US Supreme Court. It’s so good, and so tightly written, that it’s difficult to pull an excerpt without wanting to also include the lead in and follow up. I’ll tempt you with some opening paragraphs, but the article is brilliant and deserves to be read.
“In five instances, Justice Neil Gorsuch’s opinion confused nitrogen oxide, a pollutant that contributes to ozone formation, with nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas.
You can’t make this stuff up. This repeated mistake in the 5–4 decision exemplifies a high court not just indifferent to facts but contemptuous of them.”

The Republican attack on higher ed pretends to be ideological. But follow the money: it's just grift.
They see a giant pot of taxpayer dollars and have figured out how to take it for themselves and their friends while driving students into debt and diverting resources from the people who actually do the work that makes universities what they're supposed to be.
