#HarvardUniversity knew they could afford to make a stand. I hope they stick to their guns! #Capitulation by any university WILL be considered weakness (yeah, I'm looking at you, #ColumbiaUniversity, who still haven't received their funding, despite caving)...
#Trump adds new threat after #Harvard rejects demands
Story by Matthew Atungwu, April 16, 2025
"US President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to strip Harvard of its tax-exempt status, demanding an apology from the university, a day after it rejected what it called unlawful demands to overhaul academic programs or lose federal grants."
The face of pure evil. Stephen Miller—a white nationalist ideologue and the architect of Trump’s most inhumane policies: family separation, the Muslim ban, asylum bans. He’s not behind the scenes. He is the scene. Joseph Goebbels energy. This is how fascism returns. Never forget. #NeverAgain #Resist
@workingclasshistory Is this the future of ‘#Florida Boy’ in a dystopian ‘#MAGA Land’?
#Resist - while you still can!
@TexasObserver The CEO of #UnitedHealthcare that was shot by #Luigi Mangione will be remembered as Brian Thompson.
But the first #ICE member to die during an illegal #rendition will simply be remembered as an #American #Gestapo.

“...members of the DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system and then appeared to try to cover their tracks behind them, turning off monitoring tools and manually deleting records of their access..."

Boom!
Harvard re-does their front page online to spotlight the research being cancelled petulantly, by trump.
Boom Harvard resists.
Facism is here when people can be disappeared without any due process.
Let us protect at all costs: a national treasure,
the future of America — AOC walking on stage in Montana. Huge crowd. Unbelievable energy.
We thank God we have her. America’s hardest-working Congresswoman.

“This is such a strawman. You represent the executive branch. If you don't think you have enough resources to put people through immigration court, ASK CONGRESS for funding!
That's your role under the Constitution! Not to say "Oh, due process is hard, let's ignore it."

Vance is racist & lawless as Trump

"This is one of China’s economic nuclear weapons, and it has already chosen to use it.
If an immediate de-escalation is not reached, and companies run out of existing inventory, a significant portion of the U.S. economy will effectively be shut down."

Republicans' sycophancy is mind-blowing. They're taking down the entire global economy.
Give your number to the vulnerable people and businesses in your community. When trouble shows up, so do we. Phone trees are grass roots organizing tools that do not rely on billionaire owned social media.
This community did their Rapid Response Network training:

"HUGE PROTESTS are the most impt thing we can do right now. As MLK said: “there's no noise as powerful as the sound of marching feet of a determined people.”
I’m talkingnumbers so large they shock ppl -friend & foe & media alike.
I know it can feel overwhelming.
The lawlessness & extremism & corruption—the cruelty—all feeling like they’re accelerating week after week.
Simple: Join a protest. This weekend."

A joke about #ElonMusk told by #Canadian comic Seth Rogan at the ‘Breakthrough Prize’ ceremony on #YouTube (?) was ‘cut’ because it made fun of #broligarchs , such as #SergeiBrin and #MarkZuckerberg who are the event and prize sponsors.
Here’s the punch line: “It’s amazing how much good #science you can destroy with $320 million and #RFK Jr., very fast.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/seth-rogen-trump-billionaires-joke-cut-breakthrough-prize-ceremony_n_67ff2c03e4b051f6e26e459d
