These two things are not the same, @nytimes.com.
1. Obama never pulled federal funding;
2. Obama was looking at schools that *actually* violated the law, not allowed free speech, after multi-year investigations into claims;
3. Obama admin worked with schools, not against them.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

If Mamdani had checked just Asian or say, Asian and white (bear with me) NYT would never have run that story.
The only reason they ran that story is because of the cultural belief that being Black gives you leg up in society despite research that says that isn't true.

The US allows children — especially Black children — to grow up in poverty. With demographic data, we can see more clearly how many of those kids grow up to fill state prisons.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
