SO WE HAVE SEEN WHAT 47 & HIS WINGED MONKEYS ARE CAPABLE OF. WE KNOW WHAT LITTLE RESPECT THEY HAVE FOR AMERICANS, OUR ALLIES, OUR DEMOCRACY, THE RULE OF LAW NOT TO MENTION HONOR & GRACE. IT IS TIME TO STEP IT UP‼️
When average people, decide they are not going to allow Donald Trump's federal government to just disappear people out of their community and start making anybody that tries it pay with their life? You will see the needle move
The likelihood of them winning is low, but Harvard should sue the federal government and the Orange Mushroom for attempting to bribe/coerce/extort them. It's not his money, it's the people's money paid through taxes. A lawsuit would at least get this all on record.
You're right.
That said, it would've been helpful if the @nytimes.com had been on top of this before, say, Nov. 2024.

Hegseth, RFK Jr., Dr. Oz, and several other cabinet members attended Harvard. I think Harvard should revoke their degrees. Give them a refund, if they paid, but take their degrees away. They clearly aren't using them anyway.
I wouldn't be surprised! I did read that RFK Jr. was accepted based solely on the fact that he was a Kennedy. That was a dumb decision on their part, but I'm sure those admins who did that are long gone.
@mcuban.bsky.social A lot of universities and organizations have lost their research funding,
it would be a great opportunity for philanthropic organizations to make a contribution.
Massachusetts should stop collecting federal taxes and collect that the same amount in state taxes. What Trump’s handlers are doing is taxation without representation.
We did great the first time! We MUST to do even better this time! We WILL resist! We have to fight with everything we have! Bring your friends, family & neighbors. Share and make everyone aware.
YES. More. Of. This. Indeed. Hurray for Harvard, a university I never attended (could not have; it was all male only when I was that age). I am glad to see any university acting like a university and not a corporate subsidiary. I have friends who are Ivy League grads, including Harvard.
Yeah sounds good! Loose your universities as well! Russian Oligarchs kids want to go to Harvard and MIT for Freedom, Knowlegde and status!
Yes America! Lose that as well! Keep pretending that Trump isn’t a Russian asset with the sole mission of splitting US like USSR from the inside! #Krasnov
Isn’t America stupid enough without endangering our universities and the younger generation who will ultimately shape the direction of society, culture, and the world at large.
Can I get a tRump sucks? For you right wingers that might be on here I recall Kamala saying how she would help even those who did not vote for her. He is all about retribution. His statement about his soul after his physical, that thing is pickled.
Screw those ultra exclusive privatized colleges. I'm actually on-board with this as much as I hate Trump. Quality higher education should be more available to ALL intelligent people who are passionate about learning, not just rich/wealthy people
They aren’t privatized. They are private schools. I would worry more about the privatization of our public school system where quality education will be destroyed.
And true but on the other hand, couldn't doing away with private institutions in our education and prison systems help to *fund* those public services better?
I don’t have a problem with private universities, even the ones who wouldn’t let me through the door. If students get in on hard work and merit, it benefits us all. If those Harvard law degrees destroy our country (see Congress) they aren’t worth the paper they are printed on.
Disagree. I don't think education should be restricted. While plenty get in on hard work and merit, some are there off of nepotism and there are others that bought their way in. It's not always a measure of intellect and effort. To me thats classist & built to keep good education to only the rich.
As of June 30, 2024, Harvard University's endowment is valued at approximately $53.2 billion. This makes it the largest endowment of any academic institution in the world.
Yeah I mean Donny Dump and every cabinet member is an incompetent piece of human trash. I maintain they are human and not lizards because I believe in keeping it real but if it came out that they were in fact all lizards I would not be surprised based on the lack of emotion and empathy from the GOP.
My state is in danger of losing funding for actual real life children, because our governor won't tolerate bullies. I'd hope every business and school would do the same for far less risk.
And what is more, after Columbia capitulated, tRump still didn't give them the money. And asked for what amounts to government control of Columbia U. Never mind that the monies for both was APPROPRIATED BY CONGRESS and tRump has NO AUTHORITY to withhold such funds. CONGRESS DO YOUR FUCKING JOB.
As I would expect. The only good thing one can say about Grassley is that he showed up. Unlike so many of his fellow MAGAts. Thanks for giving me your valuable take on the town hall.
I hate the sound dumb but how is it that Harvard is getting withheld 2 billion while state funded colleges are struggling? I'm sorry this doesn't make sense
The Japanese had to bomb pearl Harbour before the US overturned their Neutrality Act, stropped watching from a safe distance, and joined the rest of Europe and allies in the fight against fascism - but better late than never I guess.
We finally finished paying Canada/US for their help in 2006...
Authoritarians don’t debate, they punish. Freezing $2.2B because Harvard wouldn’t fall in line isn’t leadership. It’s a shakedown. This isn’t about policy, it’s about power.
It's a shake down! Every time Trump does this these funds have already been allocated to these institutes but for some reason the "fat boy" thinks he has the right to withhold funds until he's given something "extra". These are NOT Trump's personal funds he has NO say Congress controls purse.
trump is absolutely deplorable the worst president ever in our history to be attacking our educational system, the American people, and holding back our money Supreme Court please step up and stop this all dictatorship and insanity he is ruining our country 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻Harvard💪🏻💪🏻
i haven’t seen it yet but @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com is a Harvard alum and began his show last night listing the breakthroughs and innovations developed there, and all the rest of the pinnacle of learning law, medicine, science, everything. I’m gonna yt it.
They can manage without it. They get 45% of their donations from alumni. And the rest they get from foreign governments. They can manage on that and tell Trump where to put his funding.
Hopefully more will follow. But this freeze will have terrible ripple effects. Other (less well funded) colleges and universities often have research partnerships with the schools like Harvard. Faculty and grad students at those schools could have their research terminated.

Go ballistic with your TRO filings, and when you win, use your students as court bailiffs to enforce court orders against the Fascists.
Time for the showdown between executive and judiciary.
Stop fascism! #dictatortrump #vance #MuskNazi #putinspuppet

Congress has abandoned us.
SCOTUS has corrupted itself indelibly.
Corporate media is complicit.
White supremacy & truth whitewashing is the GOP agenda.
We’re now in the throes of a Constitutional crisis.

Congress rn is effectively a vestigial organ.
They’ve been around for 389 years or so. They’ll be around when Trump is a chapter in history books.
They are the ENEMY of DEMOCRACY

Harvard is known worldwide for their law school.
Nearly 2,000 students and 100 full time and 40 visiting professors.
All that brain power and they can't come up with a legal way to stop trump?
This years JD thesis should be on fighting tyranny.
Just a suggestion.
My state is in danger of losing funding for actual real life children, because our governor won't tolerate bullies. I'd hope every business and school would do the same for far less risk.
Principles and fortitude!

Trump Fails attempt to extort Harvard
The US desperately needs responsible leadership and if the Ivy League is where it comes from the Ivy League will be more respected than it ever was.
Good for them for fighting.
My alma mater (Penn) has an endowment about half that size, and I hope it too keeps fighting.
Freedom has gone from the American way of life. Bring back sanity 🙏
