Yeah once they actually get pushback it’s all “oops we accidentally drafted, signed, and sent that letter, we didn’t actually mean it”. This is why everyone should have been pushing back since day one.
There’s also the claim that it was sent too early, so regardless of what the error was, these were going to be the demands all along. They were just moving much slower in the discussion prior to the letter being sent. A wise attempt to boil the frog, and then somebody moved the pot over a rocket engine.
“Reign of Error”.
What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

Trump failed with Mexico and Canada when demanding they change their border policy. They stood up to him and he backed down.
Trump has failed repeatedly with his tariffs. When countries stood up to him, he backed down.
Trump failed to force the ivory-est of ivory towers to abandon DEI. They stood up to him, he’s backing down.
Resistance. Is. Working.
Bunch of fucking stupid cunt clowns.
