Trump’s $400 million cut to Columbia University sends a chilling message that universities must align with the MAGA agenda or face financial ruin. My statement with @repespaillat.bsky.social:

Trump claims to be fighting antisemitism. In fact he seems to be playing on it. This morning @timothysnyder.bsky.social lays out the antisemitism lurking in the attacks on Volodymyr Zelens'kyi last Friday. It's long, but the insight gained is worth the time.
As shown in the past, you cave in to trump, it only get's worse.
Of course, It's not going to be easy, but please, never surrender your 1st amendment rights to a demented dictator.
File a 1st amendment or appropriations lawsuit, or withhold federal tax dollars.
But , no surrender.
Trump is antisemitic. Don’t listen to his words look at his actions. Musk is antisemitic and a Nazi sympathizer. JD Vance praises the AfD party in Germany. He is a Nazi sympathizer

If you try to appease fascists and bigots then you have started the capitulation process. The leaders of Columbia University are learning this hard lesson.
During slavery, education was illegal. Educated people can use critical thinking skills. The GOP has been trying to dumb down America since the late 70s.
Well put by Representative Nadler💯💯 They want to “combat” antisemitism so badly they have their major figures in this hate movement Constantly doing nazi salutes and mirroring exactly what the nazi movement stood for. Can’t have it both ways…magats are bigots, nazis and Deplorables
As a constituent, I am profoundly disappointed by your betrayal of harrassed and attcked Jewish students, simply because you are too immature to find any area of common cause with Trump. They deserve better representation than you are providing.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia sent a letter to Georgetown Law demanding the school end all DEI efforts or risk a hiring freeze of its graduates. Georgetown is a Jesuit and Catholic institution, and is free to teach as it wishes. Trump is now trying to control Christian teachings.
And what was the result of what Green did? He got censured. No good came from it.
I don't care if you think they don't care. What matters is results. There is nothing the Democrats can do that will get results, because they are in the minority, because too many people stayed home on Election Day.
Patrick Henry is remembered because he said "Give me liberty or give me death!" But he lived to be given liberty because George Washington won the war. Without that, at most, Henry is hanged; at the least, he gets forgotten.
I want Dems “Cabinet reports” Defense-Russia bombed hotel in Ukraine &killed 4 &injured 30
They could report on 200K Ukrainian refugees we are about to deport
HHS -measles
A different “cabinet” report Daily at 5pm on the capitol steps #LFG
John Lewis would do it he’d be on those steps every day
The Trump administration is using antisemitism as a ruse. It's higher education they're after. They don't give a damn about Jewish or Palestinian students.
A key component of fascism is to fabricate a crisis, take control of education, punish anyone with different views. Trump wants desperately to use military on our students as a show of power. Perhaps it's time law abiding liberals consider arming themselves for defense.
False smear about the admin aside: if you actually had something to combat antisemitism at universities, you would’ve done it during the Biden presidency, and right away after October 7. But you didn’t, because you’re a hypocrite, and your base is full of Hamas lovers

It is nothing but a lazy, mushy-brained moron.
Did you get out and vote a straight Democratic ticket? I did.

As a Jew, if they want to tackle antisemitism, start with Doge, and the rest of Trump’s Nazi appointments.
