Letβs look to history
Germany's universities were the world's premier research institutions
Hitler destroyed them
How long did they take to recover?
They havenβt
Even better is to fire them and then hire them back as consultants, for a much higher costs! Yes, that is definitely a thing here in DC.

An Oregon father who's a LEGAL immigrant was arrested by masked ICE agents outside his son's daycare. He came here THE CORRECT WAY & is married to an American woman.
They are snatching people off the streets exactly like Nazi Germany did! π
The man's arrest is the latest case of federal authorities detaining immigrants with legal status during immigration check-ins. Lawmakers call the detainment of those who helped U.S. troops at war a betrayal. [via @wbur.org]

Good. They should. And the Olympics should follow suit.
Refuse to normalize or reward fascism.
The US is not a safe place to visit & we should all vote with our dollar and go elsewhere.
