I’m seeing that this is irreversible. That the only way the country will get lands like this back is if the corps/countries/individuals who buy it, donate it back. Which will not happen.
This is the largest public lands sell off in modern US history.

Every paragraph of this WSJ story is more shocking than the last:
"Agents didn’t need to develop target lists of immigrants suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, a longstanding practice, Miller said. Instead, he directed them to target Home Depot, where day laborers typically gather for hire, or 7-Eleven convenience stores. Miller bet that he and a handful of agents could go out on the streets of Washington, D.C., and arrest 30 people right away."
BREAKING: The Department of Homeland Security just told @Harvard it will lose its ability to enroll international students if it doesn't comply with a list of demands within 72 hours.
Among those demands is an astounding requirement that Harvard hand over "all audio or video footage, in the possession of Harvard University, of any protest activity involving a nonimmigrant student on a Harvard University campus in the last five years."
Not just illegal activity. **Protest activity**. Including protected speech. Including if American citizens are involved.
The government also threatens Harvard with criminal prosecution if it provides "materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent information."
The first page of the letter ends by stating that the Trump administration "will enforce the law and root out the evils of anti-Americanism."
But there's nothing American about the government's demands.
The Trump administration is adopting the tactics of Peruvian strongman Óscar Benavides, who once said, "For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law."
Harvard insisted the administration not violate its First Amendment rights. It filed a lawsuit last month to vindicate those rights.
In return, it's received more of "the law." — and more unconstitutional demands.
Nothing is more un-American than that.
