What Rand Paul is doing is what Jim Jordan did to Stanford Internet Observatory. Under the pretext of β€œoversightβ€œ he can make sweeping requests β€”w/the intent to harass & chill. The universities can fight. But most are afraid of broader attacks so they quickly comply. [www.wired.com/story/senato...](

Fake academic what what? https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreif7fptq5z7bdnyzfnus263k3vi27yoygm3nm3u7ipbauulzeakvgq https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreibjn77up53hh6bltnym3n6f5tzzgfsmar7un662tc43kxm2dt6tmq
