How about before the admin worries about "antisemites" in universities they root out the Neo-Nazis in their own government!

Billionaires and bigots, it's not like we haven't seen them ally before in history but what makes this so horrific is have they ever done so without causing brutal violence and terrible corruption? Has there ever been a peaceful alliance of the rich and racists?

I'm sorry David, I couldn't figure how to upgrade even though I followed all the instructions! I'm a technological dunce.

"Even if Columbia submits to this extortion letter, it doesn’t get federal funding restored. It merely sets itself up for a later round of bullying, exorbitant demands, and more extortion."

Just like everyone else. And, just like everyone else, in no uncertain terms, Trump should be told to go fuck his Nazi self.

Are grants to universities for, presumably, research part of Congressional appropriations? Is this impoundment? Why isn't someone SUING?

College student newspapers speak out forcefully against tRump bullying...college administrators dive deep into their offices, head down, and fax out "compliances" to tRump bullying...see the difference?
