"The real crisis is not that public health — which is fundamentally about policies dictating the distribution of
resources required to protect human life — has been politicized. It is that it has not been politicized nearly enough."— @ericreinhart.bsky.social

This "immediate cancellation" violates the law. If the Admin thinks Columbia has violated Title VI by being deliberately indifferent to antisemitic harassment, it has to give Columbia a chance for a hearing first, make findings on the record, & wait 30 days.

“There are times when it is better to stand alone than not stand at all.

This President is disrupting the healthcare system. He is all but defying court orders.

At some point, we’re all going to have to stand up.”

**Call** your representatives today about an issue that matters to you. For example, talk about the dangers of today’s tariffs against China, Mexico, and Canada. They need to hear from their constituents. The people will be represented! ✊🏼

This is an attempt to criminalize free speech and suppress dissent. If we don’t take a strong stand against this, it’s the end of our democracy, and not just higher education. Universities are the trial balloon, but it doesn’t end here. Next, it will be employers, cities and towns, and individuals.

This is not law. It couldn’t withstand legal scrutiny.

Don’t comply in advance university presidents. General counsel, don’t panic. Do law, not vibes.
Real question. What is an “illegal protest”? Real question. He was convicted of a crime. Why hasn’t he been expelled?

This is not about cleaning up after last year’s protests; this is about getting out ahead of what is coming.
