I cannot believe the extortion the DOJ is committing towards our top colleges and universities all in the name of "stopping" antisemitism, while allowing white nationalists to keep their jobs.

“Silence is not always neutrality…silence can often be complicity” - great stuff from @stephaniemasta.bsky.social. Universities do not serve the public by being silent and neutral, refusing to apply knowledge to the world
