Enjoy the lawsuits!

debrown44.bsky.social•23 days ago

Brilliant move. These are research grants. Great opportunity for China and/or some other foreign governments to step-in, fill the void and reap the benefits of all current and future findings.

They want to force you to believe that American taxpayer funded genocide is a good thing.
Oppression is a profession.

I agree with Trump. My daughter who is half Jewish left
there. It was bad and she is a tough kid

Russian mouthpiece

If you agree with tRump you are a douche, don't let the Palestinians who are living through genocide get in the way of your daughter's feelings.

Maybe the Gazan people should take control away from Hamas.

vanala.bsky.social•18 days ago

Thats a hard to do thing when you don't have weapons or food.

What about for the last 30
Years? Come on.

vanala.bsky.social•18 days ago

They have been ruled by the terrorist at least for the last 30 years, the Israelites have done some awful stuff to them for at least 30 years. They keep pushing them out of their own land the settlements in the west bank are just land grabs by Israel. If they fight back its called antisemitism.

Is this because so many #GOP Ivy League frauds, Kushner, Cruz, DeSantis, Vance, etc. didn't go to Columbia?

co-jayjay.bsky.social•23 days ago

I personally found Columbia’s refusal to stop the antisemitic hate their students have been spewing for over a year, the masked haters harassing Jewish students without repercussions, the defense of actual antisemitic terrorist groups like JVP in the U.S., was an actual step backward - 90 years back

dlp2pgh.bsky.social•23 days ago

You should ask your Proud Boy buddies to stop posing as students, that's my suggestion

co-jayjay.bsky.social•23 days ago

That’s the echo chamber lie of the day? Useful idiots remain idiots. Proud boys are antisemites just like the pro-Pali morons on campus are. Yall the same white haterbros.

dlp2pgh.bsky.social•23 days ago

thanks for weighing in, Umbrella Man

So meme-y and edgy. You seem smart too.

Yeah, burn it all down
You stupid clown
Wanting to make
Everyone frown
Screw academics
They’re too smart
And have been exposing
Your lies from the start

It’s because Columbia has gone TUITION FREE for low income students. Trump, Musk et al don’t want poor people to have access to elite universities. Columbia has more Jewish students than any other Ivy League university.

Everything conservatives do is wrong.

I wonder how the “ Catholics” on the Supreme Court must feel.

lisabee63.bsky.social•23 days ago

So you think harassing Jewish students with misinformation is acceptable?

rrkennison.bsky.social•23 days ago

You do know most of the Jewish students at Columbia being harassed are experiencing that from other Jewish students at Columbia because that first group of students don't think Israel should be flattening Gaza and grabbing land in the West Bank and have had the audacity to say so. Right?

egosiccogito.bsky.social•23 days ago

What is the misinformation they are harassed with?

barbiesayswhat.bsky.social•23 days ago

“Brilliant” move & Jewish people will get blamed for these reprehensible cuts. Hey donOLD, why don’t you start cleaning out your administration of all the antisemites & pro Nazis ? You, Elon, the DOD spokeswoman & your paramilitary pals? This will do nothing to protect Jewish students on campus.

commastop.bsky.social•23 days ago

Trump and his gang are crazy and lawless

stellawoj.bsky.social•23 days ago

So today is just like any other day since the shitshow opened?

makani-noho.bsky.social•23 days ago

Iʻm sure there are no Jewish grad students working on some of these grants. Performative BS as always from the Trump admin.

janners3.bsky.social•21 days ago

How is this legal?

ms-lj.bsky.social•23 days ago

There is no persistent harassment of Jewish Students. There is persistent voices wanting to end Genocide on Palestine and West Bank!!

politicsjd.bsky.social•23 days ago

Because the Trump administration isn’t full of anti semites and nazis.

kate23-ca.bsky.social•23 days ago

Another lawsuit in making!

Yeah that really helps.

Great move. Keep up the good work. These cowards that cover their faces for a cause they probably are getting paid for by the Soros and democrats group.

a.k.a. violate the First Amendment on command or lose your funding

arty-san.bsky.social•23 days ago

Supporting Palestine's right to democratic rule is NOT being antisemitic.

Our Constitution and Bill of Rights protect the right to protest, the right of peaceful assembly.

Jared and Trump want to build luxury resorts in Gaza. They don't care what happens to the Palestinians.

At this point, he's just shutting shit down because of his OWN PROJECTION.

Guess I'll just cancel my federal withholding due to lack of Traitor DonOld Adm. to adhere to constitution and failure to censure Russia.
