Universities will only defend their wallets and their alumni (aka more money), NOT their students
The university knows damn well that they could have fought back, they just caved in to the politics
They have a world-renowned law school for fuck’s sake
Trumps going to win 2028 w/a Stalin percentage of the vote if we don’t get them out NOW
Americans are not prepared for what has just arrived.
Chilling protected speech is as egregious as punishing it. The later can be addressed by the courts.

He came out of the gate baiting his base at every turn.
It might be time to consider that.
I also recommend downloading a copy before it’s purged from the website as encouraging diversity, equity & inclusion.

One example: “transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences” which is his stated goal with Gitmo.
But they're not wrong.

Also: There are no afflicted, that's DEI. So be careful with that part too.
Legally, this is pure bullshit, but do you trust the Supreme Court to reject bullshit arguments about the Constitution?

Or is the problem Palestinian?
I'm saying, from White House to federal Democratic party to state to municipality to Columbia admin, every single level has failed basic Constitutional tests. And Palestinians.
Only Walz is showing any contrition.

Just look up the phrase: 'Congrats Dearborn' and the like.
Surreal and terrifying to be an American right now.
We are being dragged into a dark and dangerous historical era by a couple of madmen and their greedy, sniveling sycophants.
Seems somewhat fucked up.
This is the US government doing reprehensible things. The only thing that stops that is elections, if that.
A combat veteran. 18 years Army. One year at the VA. Fired overnight.
He was responsible for hiring the IT professionals who keep the VA running. Then, without warning, he was fired. 2,400+ jobs—80,000 more are next. https://youtu.be/rddOWwOHcAg

You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

Can’t imagine any students would accept this shit in the 60s
People who have never had their rights violated aren’t universally invested in the rights of others.
Also -- remind them -- Don’t shit where you eat
If you have such a hard-on for the government deciding what you can’t say maybe you’re the one who should go to another country?
They just don't advertise it.
It’s gross.
