Good for MSU.
Let’ call any Universities or Law Firms that caved to Trump APPEASERS.
Stop all appeasements!!
Appeasement DOES NOT Work! It did not work for Chamberlain in 1938 - not for the Uk & France then.
To be clear: passing a resolution in MSU faculty senate changes NOTHING about MSU University policy. The MSU administration has not signed onto any mutual aid/collective agreement, and isn't necessarily supporting this action (they haven't said anything). Faculty have little power.
Pretty sure Rutgers was the University that actually came up with that (great) idea. While I didn't go there and don't even root for them in Big Ten basketball (go Hoosiers!), I do gotta stand up for New Jersey getting its due credit.
Never again starts right now. 50 million people in the streets this weekend as a warm-up for 125 million in the streets on July 4. We need to pressure our elected leaders to stand up and impeach this regime.
I would hope that my alma-mater the university of Florida will follow the pledge of the MSU faculty senate. That it does not have the fortitude to resist the storm of hatred and corruption of the fascist trump cabal.
The more institutions and sectors who do this the more momentum it builds and gives others the courage to do the same. We have to continue to RESIST!! 💕
Ohio State (and all Ohio universities) already bent the knee. I guess I’m now a Big Blue fan. Decades of Buckeye cheering and merchandise purchases all for nought. I’ll be okay.
Trump is trying to replace America’s Constitutional Republic with a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy. His Fascists ignore the Constitution, and the courts—including the hopelessly corrupt Supreme Court—and routinely break the law to protect the felonious President.
Rachel, off subject. Do you think you could put in for the second 100 days?
We really need you, and tRump doesn’t like you. So what do you think, can we make it happen?🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
America needs the truth. And did I tell you tRump doesn’t like you? That makes it really enticing doesn’t it😃
Life long educator. Listen I’ll take my little pennies and donate to the legal fund. I know they don’t really need it, but we can not allow the freedom to learn to be censored.
Racheal, please stay longer with your nightly coverage than the planned 100 days. We need you. We so appreciate getting nightly attention on the people fighting back. Your nightly coverage recognizes the protests and opposition to Trump and his destruction of our democracy.
Power in numbers. If only the defense law firms related to what Jack Smith has gone through understood this. Together they are more powerful than Trump
@umich.edu @umichlaw.bsky.social are you going to let sparty be the leader on this? Be the best, get in the game and stand up before it's too late. LS&A '92
At least we have these institutions fighting against authoritarianism. Where are the rest? I'm looking at you banks, consumer products companies, energy companies, auto companies, builders, museums, etc.
Ok here we go Im fairly sure they mean legal defence, it be way scarier if suddenly it became necessary to the university alliance to have their own military squad.
One thing I learned while watching the lLmited Series 'Mrs. America'... The conscious-less, transactional politician ALWAYS WINS because their opponents Don't Recognize Them and the Threat They Pose...Here We are AGAIN!
as my alma mater, Northwestern, has already faced retribution via removal of funds, they should be more than happy for this compact. lots of schools in the big 10...lots of power.
As a history geek, you would be interested to know The 2025 project is plagiarized from "A Handbook to Ruling the World" by King Wen of Zhou Dynasty circa 1100 BCE. Destroy culture and replace it with your own culture. Whitewash history and replace it with your own narrative.
For those of us whose alma maters haven't yet spoken out against the blackmail and extortion (and hats off to MSU and Rutgers in the Big Ten for leading the way), please consider writing to your school and telling them no donations, no game tickets, no fan gear etc. until they do.
My older sister and I are alumni and my niece is a current student. Deep family ties, obviously. Hoping the PSU Faculty Senate and the university leadership as a whole band together to protect the integrity of higher Ed.
Are they also interested in protecting students' free speech rights, or are they only concerned about fear of losing funding? Funny, how money moved them, when loss of Constitutional protections failed to provoke them...
MSU President Kevin Guskiewicz has been very proactive with communicating with students and their families about changes this administration is causing to the university. Glad to see MSU joining this defense compact.
I hope some professor at these institutions suggests the notion of having tele-conferences, at least monthly, maybe even weekly, of law school deans, professors and graduate students to brain-storm ideas to resist the excesses of the trump admin attack on them!

Go green! 💚🤍💚🤍💚
Someone else is running government, and it’s not EM either….
They’re ashamed of their history, so they want it abolished!
Sounds a bit like Final Fantasy 8.
Courage is contagious! Glad that the Universities are doing this - better they stand together than stand alone.
How many times did the Russian intelligensia take down the Russian gov't?
Asking for a friend~
Military must sign a pledge to protect the constitution & the people.
