>I'm assuming good intentions on the part of Harvard, but keeping this data online against the express will of the government is gonna cost (political) capital.

Harvard like other liberal institutions has little to no political capital in a Republican white house in the first place. Why would it cost them any to host data that is in the public domain?

This sort of silly overreaction is part of why people voted for Trump: it is genuinely funny to see people overreact to Trump because theyve been told by the legacy media that he is a "threat to democracy" over and over.

Last time he was elected his government also removed a bunch of climate data from govt websites which was quickly mirrored by third parties. Nobody was taken away by the Gestapo then and there is no reason to think things will be any different this time.

I'm not sure pointing out 'last time' is such a great idea considering it ended with a violent insurrection attempt which I watch in real time. I don't need the news or anyone else to tell me that a threat to democracy is exactly what he is.

Maybe. He's already shipping illegal immigrants to a new concentration camp at Guantanamo bay.

Someone forgot the "kids in cages" episodes in 2018 when Trump was only testing the waters...

Nothing to do with Trump. Also Trump's policy was completely sensible, and no different to what happens when adults are sent to prison anywhere else: you cant put their kids in prison with them obviously.

That’s exactly who Trump is and what he wants, as a tool of cruelty to startle others.

You’re denying evidence. You’re deflecting. It’s documented in the press and in the legal proceedings that it was Trump policy.

You’re deflecting too by stating a different matter. Here kids were grouped and put in cages, from all ages, without relatives, without adults other than the guards.

We know deflection is part of the strategy… you’re not fooling anyone.

Someone didn't like to be reminded of things. :)

Wow, amazing. There _are_ people that do not want history to be documented and reminded...

For the record, my previous comments being upvoted, then largely downvoted, for a matter of facts.
