Why give in now, Northwestern?
Marjorie Taylor Greene of all people recognized that Trump isn't the future, but Northwestern's leaders apparently think it's the time to get on board.
Either they think this is forever, or they have no principles and concluded there's no downside to collaborating now.

This is what Vovchansk looks like on the 565th day of non-stop shelling.
It is completely destroyed. For 565 days russians have been pounding it with fire. The factory lies in ruins, the schools are gone, the church no longer exists, and no homes are left standing.
