Yup any small petty crime like selling weed are going there plus the frame work that's being set up for black people this is why ain't joining protest these people have lost the plot and their damn minds 🫠
Yup they are testing the waters anyone who isn't white and don't agree with them are sitting ducks history will remember this so we will too this why I don't have shit to say anyone with Trump signs in their my neighborhood they can all kiss my ass
Anything Nazi Trump regime can do to stop education in America. Shutting down the Department of Education holding back from the best universities in the world this is one f***** up country
Well, I was hoping that call for a follow-up colonoscopy would amount to something, but apparently it won't happen until 2027. Only the good die young.🙄
I thank the resistance for joining in the 24hr Work Stop, 4/14. 4/17-19 Work Stop focus is to shut the country down. People should progressively Stop Work until the country stops while we protest on 4/19. Please, protest loudly but peacefully.
#FiretRump
Stop work is a great idea, but people need to be prepared to ride out the rough period. It's hard to do when personal savings are low, community support systems are frayed, and fertile land is concentrated under industry ownership... I guess COVID was maybe good training, but just a start...
yes it is, but Harvard did the right thing...as long as 47 has leverage, he'll continue threatening. It's a formula that has to start NOT working for him
Trump defies the Supreme Court AND the Constitution = everyone should defy Trump. There's no reason you, I, or anyone else has to do what he says if there is no longer a respected "law of the land." 🤷🏽 #anarchy
You don't suppose this has something to do with #UncleWooWoo not being admitted to any Ivy League College on the basis of his intellectual and/or academic abilities...
He will double down in the attacks against Harvard. The playground bully loses power when his target fights back and “wins” for all to see. Others will then fight back. It’s up to the public to take to the streets and support our institutions.
"who" I see so many americans asking and How many times it must be said YOU, the americans must do something, Europe isn't going to help you, Russia most certainly won't, China don't give a damn, Nobody other than yourselves.
Please everyone ign on to end this fascist government from taking away all our rights and freedoms. They are not going to stop because of just protest. We need to strike at the heart of this tyranny. Please pass the word. We the people have an answer. #GeneralStrikeUS this will be our victory. ✊️
We have two options in regards to who is going to do something. Congress can step up, or the people themselves can step up. At this point, the majority of Congress is complicit, so that option is quickly fading.
NO one coming to save us we have to do the work ourselves if yall see this happening in front of you put a stop to it! if they aren't following the law they are acting as private citizens making their actions crimes!
And Trump wants to take away Harvard's tax exempt status because he says they are playing politics. So perhaps we should tax the church as well, the church is now doing more than just playing politics, they are driving it
Who would you like to do something. The president doesn’t have to listen to the Supreme Court and has 60%+ backing from congress. Who exactly is there to do something? Your system is not set up to remove dictators or kings. USA would need sweeping judicial and legal reform.
Harvard can take the administration to court on grounds of multiple constitutional violations.
I’m pretty sure there’s alumni who can help with that. They were correct to call Trump’s bluff.
Two reasons as I understand it:
1. endowment is not one big slush fund, but tons of separate accounts earmarked for special purposes by donors, like supporting specific professorships
2. Fed money mostly supports hi-tech research labs, staff, equipment, seeking solutions serving public needs
How to Fast Track to an Autocracy in 90 Days by Putin, Orban and Jong-Un. Upcoming events a book signing at the UN and at the WH, featuring guest speaker Trump.
This is what we are headed to. We can’t rely on Democrats taking the House. We’re going to need to figure out something to stop this. NOW!
Of course Trump cut off the flow of grants to Harvard.
Dear Leader, his herd of personal servants, and his cult of faithful followers have absolutely no use for an Ivy League education.... and never will.
Even if Trump judges shoot down the lawsuit or rule against Harvard, the case, discovery, depositions, documentation, are all on record. Recording is at least as important as winning at this point. History needs to know what happened.
Harvard has so much money in their coffers, threatening to take away grants won't be an issue for the next 20 years. The largest academic endowment in the world. They also have some pretty smart legal students that would turn the legal battle into a weekend assignment.
Who…? I guess US citizens should and must do something better quickly before nobody, not even citizens, are ‘safe’ anymore. 70+ million Americans voted for the American Jong-U.N. Trump. What about the other 80+ million Americans who didn’t vote Trump?
We, The People, will flush out the Nazi horde and eliminate the threat to our world when We finally wake the fuck up and realize what our grandparents, forefathers, and ancestors actually fought for:
If We can't all live in peace, then there shall be nothing but scorched Earth
Black American leaders and citizens discovered the biased tendencies of HF not long after it was created in 1973.
Many of the defeats and setbacks to Black American's rights and access to equality/equity/political empower ment have been instigated, supported and scripted by HF.
No one. All we have are ourselves & the courts, which Trump is defying. We have spent years watching the citizens of other nations fight, resist, & break themselves to fight their dictators. It’s now America’s turn. They’re also chilling dissent for millions of naturalized citizens & residents.
We all know where this is leading... to a Trump Jong-Un moment when he has a happy ending watching his military parade and sends Americans to concentration camps.
Funny, how much a sexual submissive enjoys power so much.
He didn't claim it was an evil "oriental" dictator. He claimed it was a Kim Jong Un move. Which is a real person, not a trope. Some people need to stop looking for things that aren't there.
He is, but also a dictator who does those types of things. I do think it's wrong to generalize but this was pretty targeted. Could have used Putin as well 🤷
All the rich graduates of Harvard should be protesting. How dare he shut down their freedom of choice. Only the rich voices will influence Trump. Money speaks to him, nothing else.
This, after grant already approved/appropriated by Congress! Deports an innocent man, refuses to return him to his family! Does he expect any sane person in the USA to pay attention to him?
Learn out the Cultural Revolution. Wild Swans is a great book for a personal look. I dreamt about this book when I read it years ago. And now it’s happening here.
There's a theory that political disorder, leading to violence, is caused by a combination of popular immiseration and elite overproduction. By reducing access to education a government can reduce production of elites, and therefore cement its position in power by reducing competitors.
It probably won't work though, as the US is too close to the political breakdown that can lead to violence, there is a surplus of elites already, and none of the policies of this government will address popular immiseration.
We're trying dammit... but Democracy can be its own worst enemy sometimes. Our Country's founders could never have conceived of the evil that is Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
I get what youre saying...but those you are fighting are doing more than trying. Dont depend on norms that no longer exist. Dont rely on the old ways of fighting because those old ways are gone.
We're stuck for now, because we're trying to preserve what's left of our Democracy... but we're just about out of time. The damage has to stop soon, or it won't be reversible at all.
Dawg we never had democracy, and if we did it ended far before Trump took office. The last guy got away with 15 months of genocide most people opposed and 3x more deportations than Trump.
That was indeed Biden's critical failure, he could not or would not, go against the (Jews) wealth... The flaw in our Democratic Government from the very start. Our wealthy Founders gave the advantage to the wealthy from day 1. It's America's dirtiest secret and we never speak of it.
We've had Democracy for 250+ years... it has been perverted, subverted and above all, dominated by the wealthy but there was always a chance for justice. NO More!
Idiots, no! Wealthy assholes but also incredible patriots! In many ways they assumed, even though they often said otherwise, that if people had a choice, they would do the right thing. That is the failing of American Democracy. It protects wealth and assumes the wealthy will do the right thing.
Arrogant and wealthy yes. Also educated and intelligent. Some great political writings were written by them. Except they were from a time that could not envision how fast we could devolve and put an untouchable ignorant emperor on a throne. All their safeguards were based on sanity, not this shit
Surely this must be illegal? POTUS can't simply unilaterally remove funding for universities for purely ideological reasons. Is this going to be challenged in the courts? Where are the Democrats? WTF's going on in the US? They'll be banning books next .... oh, wait....
Harvard can finance the tuition for every student, the salaries for every staff member, and still make a profit on the yearly interest of their endowment.
Thanks Dan, that's very good news, I really hope so. Even so, the political intent of the current US administration is very worrying, completely unacceptable to anyone who cares deeply about education (as I do!), and has no place in the development and evolution of humanity. It seems to me, anyway.
Well, per Vance and Hegseth going to an Ivy League school is hot when it comes to putting it on your resume and reaping the benefits of using their names to advance your position, however since they tend to be liberal they don‘t allow free speech for conservatives. So, they must be punished. MWBH
But of course. Luckily, they have so much privilege in the bank that a couple billion isn't that big of a deal to them. Or at least they see it as"worth it."
Not cannibalise from the wealthy. Do you know what a 500 billion endowment means? The income from it is immense.
This is a sector fighting for its own survival. What can one institution do alone? When it's the only one left it can have all the billions in the world. It's still finished.
*income probably around 30 billion a year. Giving a couple of billion to hold the line harms no one, and let's be honest, they'd recover it almost immediately from wealthy supporters who agree with their stance.
Harvard is, more than any school in America, the one that can stand up to Trump. It has an endowment worth more than a small nation and it has alumni who will fund it forever.
It is private and has the single most recognizable university name in the nation, if not the world. Take every federal dollar away and they'll still have hundreds of applications for every available seat.
WTF, it’s not his funds to suspend, that money’s already been appropriated by Congress. He has no control over it. Goddamn, I am so tired of seeing this fat ass orange POS intentionally trying ruin peoples lives just because he’s really evil incarnate and has no joy in his own life. Just die already
You’re probably right. He acts as if he’s already dead inside just like a zombie. He seems to be driven only by anger and hatred. Now it looks like he just wants to hurt and cause the death of as many people as he can. The more people give in to him, the more he makes them grovel in embarrassment.
Harvard is a private university! Ignore the orange bully! You will survive without his dictatorship. Time for Harvard & every other private U. to sue this admin, for multiple illegal acts !
The ruling class put Trump in
there. We the people will have
to take him out via citizen’s arrest.
All of the oligarchs must be
torn down.
They intend to cull the population
of the USA.
Instead, they will all be cut down.
We did great the first time! We MUST to do even better this time! We WILL resist! We have to fight with everything we have! Bring your friends, family & neighbors. Share and make everyone aware.
Pretty sure there has been a precedent set at other institutions for retroactively revoking degrees. Perhaps a few Trump appointees would like that precedent applied to them. Several have Harvard degrees that are just begging to be stripped from them.
The U.S. has shown itself to be feckless in the face of fascism. It's been obvious for several yrs that this is where we were headed. Certainly since J6 but even before that.
But heads were buried in the sand. Some heads are still buried.
I mean the US has funded fascist dictatorships in foreign countries for decades to maintain their hegemony on the world's economy. Now that the US itself is faced with a domestically grown fascist government, they are completely bamboozled and out of ideas to resist it. What a boomerang, right?
Kyle Griffon has a very skeward outlook on what he thinks is right, but that kind of thinking is never right, it's the thinking of men who think everything they day ot do is always right and should never be reviewed.
Not all of them! Look at Michelle Wu, awesome Mayor of Boston! And the Obamas! I'm sure many others fan out all across government, nonprofits, and principled firms.
No. This IS American shit! Stop pretending your homegrown conservatives never acted like this. A single course on the American Civil rights history will tell you how oppressive the US government has been from time to time. Liberals have allowed for these conservatives to breed and openly run amok.
Even before the US was a republic, liberal states made concessions for the conservatives. In fact, numerous concessions such as the Missouri compromise were made preceding the Civil War.
After the Civil War, the freed slave experienced 12 years of relative freedom before the insidious acts of terrorism and apartheid that led to the civil rights laws, which are now being dismantled.
Consider that half the reason such idiocy has been allowed to breed is the proliferation of a "blame everyone else, feel righteous, and damn the torpedoes!" mindset, and maybe don't adopt a similar brand of useless finger-pointing when arguing against it? Because that is what your post here is.
Why shouldn't I point my finger at the people who called me radical, fearmongerer, and extremist when I mentioned how how disgusting and dangerous the right-wingers & conservatives are? Now, all of a sudden, liberals and moderates want me think of them as my friends!?
Point away. Fundamentally, I don't even disagree with you. But you're attempting to invalidate a correct and true observation, which is far more constructive than any of your finger-pointing, because you have decided personal catharsis is more important than anything else.
Put bluntly, if you're going to drag the rest of us down because you want to yell and achieve nothing, then stay out of the way. If you'd rather see the atrocities stop, reframe your passion into something actually useful.
I'm referring to the absurdity of arguing when someone observes, correctly, that what Trump is doing attempting comes directly from other existing dictatorial playbooks. What use is it to pretend that saying "but conservatives have always existed!" invalidates the observation, beyond catharsis?
It absolutely is! As Americans, we cannot tolerate the president limiting free speech, human liberties, and making arbitrary decisions based on his personal views. He is independently and willfully trying to destroy our democracy and transform us to a totalitarian state.
The only thing left is for all universities to erect a giant statue at their entrance of dictator trump! If universities acquiesce and appease this want to be dictator, Kim Jung trump will next take them over just like he’s done with the federal agencies he’s unlawfully dismantled!
Harvard said they'd rather sell off financial assets than give in to trump. The money runs deep. They can hold steady at least long enough for other universities to set a precedent.
So, we know absolutely what he did at Trump International. He extorted money, lied constantly, followed nary a law and bankrupted companies. As the dictator in chief, he's on track to do exactly the same to our country. But "he's good businessman." MAGA. The cult of toxic personalities.
Some of the rules in On Tyranny:
1. Do not obey in advance or over-comply. These aren’t laws yet, just executive orders.
2. Defend institutions. They help us preserve democracy.
8. Stand out. Set an example, and hope others will follow.
20. Be as courageous as you can
Every university in the US needs to follow Harvards example. Protect our rights to free speech and peaceful assembly. Support DEI. Tell Trump to stick it.
It's not Trump's money to decide where it goes. It's all of our tax dollars and it's long overdue time for "we the people" to have a say in how the Government spends the money we send them! WTF?!
Harvard doesn't have to do all the research they do now.
Or they can get other countries or businesses to pay for the research in exchange for any patents that are created.
America loses financially, but by standing up to Trump America wins in the long run.
And they said 🖕🏾 him! YAY!!!!. They stood strong. Before retiring, I worked at both USC and UCLA and both bent the knee early which shamed me! The UC System including Berkeley!!!! and all the others that gave in will NEVER hold the same esteem.
nobody is going to do a fucking thing about it! The only reason the nazi is feeling financial pain is because the people aren't standing for not because the dems enforced 18 U.S.C 209 code of federal regulations prohibits federal employees from receiving extra income or benefit off the conflict
Good Question! Who is there to save the citizens of this United States 🇺🇸??Who ?..they have given this man King status n he now thinks He can take away ppl rights..what good is the constitutions ? it’s the Supreme Court fault for given him all this power.We have no rights, law firms has surrendered
The sooner we get over this idea we cannot save ourselves the sooner we resolve this. The longer it goes on, the harder the solution. Right now we all need to put unprecedented pressure on Congress, particularly Republicans, so they understand losing our democracy is not an option we will tolerate.
I am posting my peaceful protests video. Very sceptical that it will work as we know that there are 273 fascists in Congress that will not do their duty. Hopefully they will get bitch slapped by karma. https://youtu.be/dxf-wtQ4mrI?si=o6B0_f92vRUOiE1C

It was a rhetorical question.
This could be any of us. We must speak out now, before it’s too late.

In theory.
they'll be okay... i promise.
Didn't they go to Harvard? They weren't all yalies!
Which isn't much better.

Exactly how much money do we hand out to, business, institutions, etc?? And ones that you think, why do they need it? Like rocket boy.
