Spotted at Harvard today. Not great at all at how this nazi is being mainstreamed and normalized. This shit is absolutely not welcomed here. Used water from my water bottle to erase part of it.

Contributor: Unlike at Columbia, Trump's attack on UCLA is aimed at taxpayer money
The UC system is a public gem, and punishing it harms all Californians. This salvo in the war on higher education crosses a line: It's different to pressure a public institution.

My dear friend’s niece, who in October developed sepsis when a Georgia hospital refused her a D&C after a miscarriage, will be taken off life support tomorrow.
