“She means ‘fewer.’” - a Harvard graduate

submitted 5 days ago • 900 comments

I cant overstate how wounding it is to have antisemitism used as specious justification for a campaign to destroy academic independence. In addition to its (primarily) deeply corrosive effect on American democracy, it’s basically a giant “fuck you” to the twentieth-century American Jewish project.

MSNBC reporting 72% of those having a private dinner with Donald Trump tonight are foreign. So they wouldn't be allowed to send their kids to Harvard but they can spend hours talking intimately on any subject of their choosing to the President?

Harvard played an important role in the war against a tyrannical king. Now, it has the opportunity to do the funniest thing possible - move to Europe. The U.S. no longer deserves the Ivy League. I can see it in Toronto too - many facultymembers from there. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Harvard today, your institution tomorrow. It's all part of the Project 2025 plan to destroy high education in America. All leading US universities depend on federal funding and tuition dollars from international students. They severely curtailed the former. Now they're eliminating the latter.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

If the IRS deprives Harvard of its tax-exempt status, that's very bad for Harvard but it's also a catastrophe for the IRS. Instead of a neutral agency that enforces tax law, it will become a tool of partisan warfare. It may never recover.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

“No freeman shall be taken or (and) imprisoned or disseised or exiled or in any way destroyed…except by the legal judgment of his peers or (and) by the law of the land," it says in the Magna Carta, from the year 1215. Due process has been a thing for quite a while now

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Who is standing up to the bully? A few law firms, China, and Harvard. But the rest of the world is speaking in other ways which will harm our economic stability and our national security.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

Democrats, this is a strong national voice to lead the opposition against Trump’s dismantling of government and destruction of institutions. Our opposition has gained overwhelming urgency amid the rapid-fire pace of Trump’s efforts to execute his demolition agenda. Thank you, Sen. Mark Kelly.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Three years ago, three other reporters and I ID'd and called any school accused of having litter boxes for furries. We found one (1) in the entire country: Columbine's school district. Cat litter was for a "go bucket," in case kids were locked in during a shooting. www.nbcnews.com/tech/misinfo...

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled. This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.
