Contributor: Capitulation to Trump spells inordinate danger

Columbia University has agreed to terms set by the Trump administration in order to retain its federal funding. This includes a mask ban, and it’s unclear whether and how health exceptions would be implemented for people who, for example, are immunocompromised.
Caving to Trump's demands, Columbia University says it will ban mask-wearing

More than 1 in 3 people were first arrested before their 16th birthday – does this look like a society that cares about uplifting youth, or imprisoning them?

I'll say it again purging the highest ranks of the military and replacing them with retired loyalists is what you do directly before you deeploy the military against the domestic population and our allies abroad.

these bastards have gone completely mask off at this point. they're just openly taunting us now with nazi salutes.
I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing.
This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it.
No more looking away. Face up to what it is.
