Just food for thought.

I looked at the list of the 60 universities targeted by the administrative.

Duke wasn't on it.

Stephen Miller graduated from Duke.

Trump's freezing or outright denial of funds
appropriated by Congress doesn't seem to me to get the attention it should.

THANK YOU, Senator Warren!

mikedeehere.bsky.social•18 days ago

Trump's actions are questionable.

They are as questionable as the backdoor maneuvering of liberals over the past twenty years. With no formal mandate, the left has promoted DEI and leftist ideology throughout government and educational institutions.

@warren.senate.gov

since there are ZERO CONSEQUENCES that can be enforced on Trump and his administration, what is Congress capable of doing to stop all of this?
@schiff.senate.gov was asked this yesterday and he either could not or would not answer.

@warren.senate.gov Why isn't Congress doing more to try to check this monster? Even if you may lose a vote on a bill or resolution, show us you are trying. It is all slipping as way.

Why isn't any leader, millionaire talking head, or "content" creator giving us tools!?!??

For the past 20 years both education and science has become about how much profit it can rake in and less about actually helping people. That shift in focus helped fascism take root in America.

nahnopenada.bsky.social•18 days ago

Trump is building a wall of illegal activity like a staircase. Up, up,up. Always just a few steps ahead of us. We are always resisting from the downhill position. When we get to the top of his wall we will all be shoved right over and guess what?
The other side has no staircase. No way to get back.

That's the point. He loves the poorly educated, like he's said multiple times. Also, if the rule of law applies to everyone? How come he hasn't been made to comply with the SC and their orders?

Cutting research for cancer or heart disease does not help anyone. Harvard is right to reject the Trump administration’s demands. I support their efforts to fight back, and I hope more institutions step up to protect academic freedom.

melodyleelacy.smokefleet.net•18 days ago

All Republicans in Congress have to do to return democracy to the United States is not filibuster a vote to remove Trump under the 14A§3. They don't have to vote with us, we have enough votes, all they have to do is not filibuster one vote.

zferrell.bsky.social•18 days ago

Colombia and almost all these high end private universities have more money than they know what to do with it. The ones who fold under pressure should just shut down. Whatever they're doing isn't higher education.

Someone like Warren should answer Trump WH actions with what a Democratic WH would do instead and how it would be better for Americans. In most cases it's easy to find how.

mjhuk.bsky.social•18 days ago

Republicans don’t care about things until it effects them! E.g. when one found out his daughter was gay. Perhaps if our so called president gets cancer or has a heart attack he might suddenly care?

It’s easy to turn down 2.2 billion dollars when your endowment is 80 billion dollars.

It does help in choosing where is a safe place to go to school. Will cowering university's lose enrollment? as well as gaining a massive debt?

jcsmith55.bsky.social•18 days ago

The institutions that bowed to Trump's demands didn't save themselves from Trump withholding funding. Given this, in addition to all the other reasons, there's no reason to comply with Trump's demands; if you're going to be a target regardless, you might as well fight.

Must take power away from the President to appoint any law enforcement or General’s. Pivot the power to the Senate. With 6 year tenure. And if any member of Congress gives up their right to legislate. They cannot hold office for life.

For those catching up.
