I'm guessing they're responding as well as the media 🙄

Attack on education is an attack on our future. https://youtu.be/Mq-Fh5I1eQk

Something is always off about the tone of the Daily and it occurred to me that it is right-wing talking points delivered in soft spoken dulcet tones to persuade people who could never be brainwashed by the brazen, offensive, rantings of a Rush Limbaugh type.

Fight back. Education is essential.

“The powerful people don’t want a well-educated population, that’s not in their best interests. They don’t want people capable of doing critical thinking. They want a population JUST smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork.” — St. Carlin

If Trump claims he didn’t sign an order 4 rounding up those Immigrants & SENT THEM 2 an EL SALVADORIAN PRISON why can’t those who were involved be charged w/ KIDNAPPING & FALSE IMPRISONMENT, because that did occur on US SOIL?

Do not trust Trump.

Trump is a liar.

Trump is insane.

Trump speaks from the mouths

of his political appointees.

Trump’s political appointees

are lying for Trump.

In depth psychology it is called

a psychic epidemic or

mass-psychosis, aka “Cult”.

77 million fundamentalist voters.

NYT continues to sane wash everything that Trump does

@nytimes.com is complicit and wants to rewrite history. This paper only reports the news they choose to share!

yovanilla.bsky.social•5 days ago

saying "The Trump administration has put the U.S. university system on notice." makes it sound like it is the schools that are doing something wrong, doesn't it :/

Is this horror show what Drumpf voters wanted

Trump/MAGA is a drug...a b-a-a-a-d drug.

Aren't these funds allocated by Congress?
Can Trump block them?

cforsberg.bsky.social•5 days ago

Not strongly. Not strongly.

They seem to be rolling over.

Seems unwise to me.

Very disappointed in my alma mater.

@nytimes.com doesn’t even bother to critically examine the contrived premise of the administration. Just taking the talking points at their word and now our best universities are under threat

Sure, it’s part of the dismantling of America. Thin skin snowflakes don’t like critical thinkers, plus these universities were the gold standard around the world. It helps the boss in Russia by diminishing a little more of America’s status and prestige.

The First Felon’s attack on colleges and universities is plain and simple extortion.

diegoqueen.bsky.social•5 days ago

“on notice” and “pressured” are interesting ways to say blackmailed and violated federal law, but heh it’s the @nytimes.com way

This is obviously illegal and an abuse of power. How far into the article do I have to read before that’s mentioned? Legacy media aided this disaster and is why i unsubscribed last summer. Good riddance.

Columbia’s endowment is more than 30 times the value of the contracts Trump threatened. The decision to fold instead of investing in its principles is a moral stain that may last generations.

Their reputation is toast.

Threatened. You mean.

ddbeach.bsky.social•5 days ago

They are using my money to shake down colleges because lord forbid young adults learn about other points of view and History . All the Elites in the Republican Party calling liberal elites the enemy is rich! The Dems are actually trying to stop them from hurting the Rural red state voters.

While Trump and Musk dismantle democracy in real time, the Democratic establishment clinks glasses. AOC and Bernie are sounding the alarm. This blistering op-ed says what others won’t about silence, surrender, and the fire we should be fighting.

Hearing about these attacks on universities is deeply concerning. Are schools pushing back against these attempts to undermine academic freedom and critical thinking?
