The Trump administration brushed aside decades of precedent when it ordered Columbia University to oust the leadership of an academic department, a demand seen as a direct attack on academic freedom and a warning of what’s to come for other colleges facing federal scrutiny.
Didn’t we hear about this 5 days ago or something? And Columbia capitulated? I could’ve sworn I got updates from reputable (ish) sources.
Capitulating to fascists doesn’t get you off the hook. It just shows them you’re weak and easily duped.
Fascists must be fought, not appeased.
After they capitulated to Trump, Trump cut funding anyways.
Now Trump is here stating that they need to do such and such to regain funding (that Trump cut despite Columbia University capitulating to Trump).
Trump: Do it or I’ll fire you… revoke your… sue you… investi… pull your funding! Wait, who is this again?
