The government will seize a private property? Is Trump a... COMMUNIST?!
/s just in case.
He said that carried a “critical responsibility” for Harvard to ensure that its intellectual property derived from federal funding is used to maximize benefits to the American people.
They're going to apply this same ethos to industry, right? Right...?
Can we not even joke about consistency of fascists opinions?
They know how stupid they look, yet nobody is stopping them. They will not even slow down, the bullshit will only grow bolder.
Yeah, I've grown so tired of the ubiquitous "surely this will apply to x as well" comments.

Corporatized universities run like hedge funds profiting off public research is a scandal and the feds should use march in rights to make a whole bunch of stuff public domain or easily licensed, but having the executive wield this power selectively as a way to punish political enemies isn’t the way to do it.
gee who could have thought that bending the knee and caving to a fascist wouldn't work out
