The govt is threatening to end the flow of billions to #universities across the country, many of which are facing inquiries from agencies that range from the #DOJ to #HHS.

But #Trump’s punitive approach…is playing out most acutely at #Columbia. The university, a hub of last spring’s campus #protest movement against the war in #Gaza, has spent months confronting accusations that it *condoned* *antisemitic* behavior, permitted *lawlessness* to dominate, & stifled #academic & #political #speech.

@QasimRashid And who in the Unraveling States of America thought that having a practically #duopolistic Presidential #political system represented the greatest #democracy on earth?...

@alisynthesis

The most common feedback I've received over the past year.
"I used to like reading your posts when you didn't write about #politics all the time."

My response: Me too.
I used to like it when i had no reason to make #Political posts all the time.
But they've left me no choice at this point.

I refuse to sit by do nothing & let fascism take over the world

I cant fight, but i can use my words to try to change minds attitudes & votes.

And thats real the meaning of DEMOCRACY!

Woe is M-Elon

The world's richest man is embarking on a public victimhood tour.

"When #Musk laments the left not being adequately empathetic & caring, the real question should be: why is it acceptable that his #political party [the #GOP] openly does not care about people?...

So when Musk wonders why the party of #empathy & caring doesn’t like him, it’s precisely because they are the #party of empathy & caring."

Ethics Complaint in WI Targets Elon-backed Organization
https://contrarian.substack.com/p/ethics-complaint-in-wi-targets-elon

"Yesterday, an #ethics complaint was filed with the #Wisconsin Ethics Commission against Building America’s Future, a #political organization backed by #ElonMusk. The complaint alleges that the organization failed to disclose its express advocacy spending, which is in violation of Wisconsin #law."

@rhodriplewiskc

the problem is not that a demented #plutocrat should be full of #hate and stupidity. that's almost a given

the tragedy, which we really need to get a handle on, is why his moronic #bigotry and #ignorance appeals to so many

"lol! #bigotry is new to you?"

no it's not new. but how it is goosed on #socialMedia for power so brazenly in cahoots with #plutocracy is a new and terrible wrinkle

yes, the #bigot-plutocrat #political axis is also not new

but it is supercharged now

But every element of that claim is subject to serious dispute….

The #Trump admin’s efforts to shape the factual landscape on which the #legal & #political battle over the #deportations are being fought are part of a broader pattern. It has adopted what *seem to be* misleading or deceptive positions in other litigation.
