Jim Ryan's letter is not just surreal and troubling; it provides a series of deeply sobering lessons—about the perils facing public universities today; about what it means to "work with" this Department of Justice; & about what leadership does (and doesn't) entail at this especially fraught moment.

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ. It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

My issue with very elderly politicians is not about their cognition, which can vary, but their failure to mentor and allow young people to replace them.

$50 mil seems low for the leader of Qanon who used military tactics to psyop millions of Americans into turning their backs on their country and to defend a sick, twisted pedophile-protecting insurgency to coup the United States. This isn't justice. This is a payoff. Unforgivable.

This is super bad for US citizens, especially on the left of the spectrum. Gives this authoritarian administration potentially the power to surveil & go after US citizens on spurious "funding of FTO" grounds. This whole antifa boogeyman is being fully weaponized. So dangerous.
