We need to remember, and when we take back control every capitulation needs to be punished.
These traitors should receive 0 federal dollars under a democratic administration. Permanently.
Colloborators will not be forgiven.
What do you mean, “when we take back control?”
Fascist collaborators are not protected the way Trump is. Personal consequences can be applied now, without waiting.
I mean… I’m doing my part when it comes to boycotting businesses, but how the hell do I apply consequences to a university I will never attend.
I didn’t say consequences could be applied to the university. I said that consequences could be applied to the people running the university.
Unless you’re suggesting violence, which would be wrong, again… what the fuck consequences could any random person actually put those folks?
Wrong or not, between Jan 6, the widespread intimidation of judges and politicians to act in MAGAs favor, and Green Mario, we’ve been shown what gets results. Our choices are to learn that lesson or lose.
Violence against fascists is never wrong.
Not how any of this works. They had a choice between bowing down or closing down. Many other universities will soon get, and make, the same choice.
There will be no return to pre-2025. Ever. The damage to all institutions and the entrenchment of the victorious billionaire class are too severe. I wish people would finally understand that. Be prepared to fight a literal civil war, you will not vote your way out of this.
They had a choice between filing a lawsuit and capitulating if they lose, or bowing down to king Trump.
They chose the latter.
At first, I wrote a reply asking what tangible good a lawsuit would do. I wrote that Trump would ignore any ruling that was in Columbia’s favor.
I deleted it ten minutes later. No, a lawsuit may not do any tangible good, but I was missing the point. RESISTING is the point. Protecting academic freedom and freedom of speech is the point. Fighting fascism is the point.
Fuck Columbia. I hope they carry this shame for the rest of their existence.

If missing $400 million would have them shut down, what’s that $14 billion endowment for? Show? It accrued 11.5% last year. That’s three times what Trump was threatening to not give them
