>Harvard isn't a person.
According to *Citizens United* it doesn't matter. Part of that ruling held that both *individuals* and *associations of individuals* have a free-speech rights. Or to put it another way, you as a person have a right to free speech, and the right doesn't go away just because you choose to associate with other persons.
So Harvard has a right to free speech, because the individuals who make up "Harvard" have that right.

Because, frustratingly enough, he hasn't actually been convicted yet.

Yeah, that's not a deal. That's capitulation.

It takes at least a month to ship things from China to the US. I've got a post in my history going over the math.
If the ports are empty now, that means ships stopped sailing a month ago. If they sail today, they'll be here mid to late June. If none have sailed in-between, it's going to be a while before any do. And I'm not sure any ships will be sailing soon because no deals have been reached.
Lots of companies bought extra supply in the months leading up to Lie-beration Day, so they can hold for a bit. The only question is how long will they, compared to how long Chinese shipping will resume?

Also, assuming the Ops are closer than the max length of the cable, you can fly it in circles or backtracks to make tracing it that much harder.

Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Margaret Atwood, and others like them weren't super fortune tellers or anything. They just studied humankind enough to know what *could* happen. And we Americans by-and-extra-large are too arrogant to learn those lessons.

Actually, it's because it's the weekend and he's spent 9 of the last 10 of them (since resoiling the White House) at his shitty golf course. Wonder why DOGE isn't saying shit about $26 million being spent on these little excursions?
He's plenty happy breaking laws and being corrupt in DC.
