DOGE should cut Trump’s golf trips. In six weeks he has spent $18.2 million. This is an outrageous expense that benefits no one but Trump. Time to tighten the belt! #ProudBlue www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Trump regime just cancelled $400M in grants & contracts to Columbia University over antisemitism allegations—not because Columbia allowed alt right Nazis to speak on campus—but because Columbia didn't strongly enough condemn & expel pro Palestine speakers on campus. White supremacy in 2025 America.

This isn’t a novel concept, it’s highly popularized. And the fact that we’re seeing this attitude resonate so deeply within the so-called opposition party should alarm the shit out of overton-window watchers.

The public really needs to understand this. Every university system in the world rests on public funding, there has never been an alternative model at any time in history. We have universities for literally the same reason that we have roads and armies.

👇🎯 The public isn't going to understand this, unless the presidents of R1 universities around the country <loudly> & <collectively> get out into the public square & start explaining this & calling out the existential threat to the entire 🇺🇸 university system. The silence is deafening right now.

I'm just a small-town professor. I'll never be a provost or chancellor. But here's some free advice: we're about to hold the most watched college sports event in 🇺🇸. Every college president should be all over TV, at every game, explaining why the March Madness of federal budget cuts is a huge crisis.

What has DOGE done? - Fired the people tasked with keeping Americans safe from the bird flu. - Gutted the IRS workforce during filing season. - Fired the FAA workers who make sure it’s safe for us to fly in planes. Does that sound like efficiency to you?

Elon Musk is losing his mind over protests at Tesla dealerships. Why? His fortune is collapsing. Nearly all of it is Tesla stock. You know what to do, America. If you want to save our government from a coup, apparently the rebels’ weak spot is protesting and boycotting Tesla.

People are losing their jobs. Prices keep climbing. Measles continues to spread. Bird flu is raging. Veterans are getting fired. The stock market is a roller coaster. Our alliances are being shattered. Ukrainian civilians are getting bombed by Russia. Donald Trump is golfing.

The media is now obsessed with remorseful Trump voters, white voters, who are now losing their jobs or upset about inflation. I don’t want to hear from them. I want to hear from the Black voters who stood in line for hours, only to be turned away because their name was purged from the rolls.

This really tells you all you need to know. They claim to support vets, and they know how to play the game with messaging and symbolism to exploit their patriotism, but every once in a while the mask slips and you see that they really think we’re just suckers and losers. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I was a US/UK Fulbright Scholar in cybersecurity in 2021, and I cannot imagine breaking this promise to 20,000 of the most idealistic and driven people in the world. Every one of the US Fulbright Scholars abroad is having to explain this shameful act to their host institutions and foreign partners.

It’s already hard enough to live on a Fulbright stipend in many places, I can’t imagine what current Fulbright scholars are going to do suddenly finding themselves in a foreign country with no income and no way home.

As a former Fulbright Scholar (in Chile), I personally understand how terrifying this is. U.S. citizens around the world & foreign nationals in the U.S. — all Fulbright Scholars — have now had their incomes eliminated & are stranded. DOGE is an illegal, criminal operation that must be shut down.
