In the NYT right now, from a Justice Dept lawyer: “I will tell you right now that Columbia has not in my opinion — and the opinion of the Department of Justice — has not cleaned up their act,” Mr. Terrell said. “They’re not even close, not even close to having those funds unfrozen.”

But we've proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

This is all so shocking. 🙄
Never bend the knee to fascists. That’s just the first appendage.
You never get rid of the Dane.
The expression on O’Brien’s face did not change. He answered
drily:
‘You know what is in Room 101, Winston. Everyone
knows what is in Room 101.’
“In March 2025, the head of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs condemned Terrell for sharing content by the former head of white supremacist group Identity Evropa mocking Jewish senator Chuck Schumer, saying that Trump had revoked his "Jew card."
and the salary for Lee Bollinger, supposed defender of civil liberties, is imo obscene
Add that to his takeover of Congress' powers to budget, and to make and repeal laws, and he has sole control of the federal government.
The administration may deserve it but the students don’t.
Or complete moral bankruptcy.
Higher learning is for suckers and losers. /s
SMDH.
It is a gambit you will lose.
Fuck you, Trump.
Cowards.
But they did succeed in making things worse for everyone else.

That's all this is really about.
If there's one thing we know about extortionists, they never continue to make additional demands after their original demands are met.
They deserve all of he shit they are about so get from Trump.
Same for the Paul Weiss law firm.
What a bunch of morons.
Translation: if they're going to kill you anyway, what's the point doing anything they want?
I def prefer to fight.

Hope U of Penn admin is paying attention.
Hope we all are.
It takes a special kind of stupid to be dumber than Donald Trump.
Columbia will never recover from this, because no prospective student with a brain will ever willingly matriculate to a college run by cowardly, unprincipled morons.
