War bonds!

Princeton University is considering issuing taxable bonds. This would help cover any immediate shortfall while it fights the illegal impoundments and assault by the federal government.

Princeton considers issuing bonds same day as federal government pauses grants
The University announced its consideration to sell approximately $320 million of taxable bonds on Tuesday, following a notification from government agencies about the suspension of research grants.

I am Jewish.

I have spent literally my entire life on university campuses.

I was the child of two Jewish professors.

Since kindergarten I have spent exactly one year as neither a student nor a professor.

I have, on occasion, experienced antisemitism. But never on a university campus.

Right now @booker.senate.gov is filibustering on the senate floor “for as long as [he is] physically able.”

Grateful to see Dems with some fight in them! This part about John Lewis is particularly meaningful.

Check it out and then go find Senator Booker live on every platform!!

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

For those supporting this obscene violation of due process and expansion of governmental overreach to detain and deport legal residents without due process, please research authoritarian regimes.

Today they'll use it against a group you don't like, but it will be turned on you tomorrow.

I am not naive. I know that at any anti-Israel protest there could/have been people who are antisemitic. But these actions only serve to increase antisemitism, and when you look at how many antisemites are currently leading our government, I feel you have to ask whether this is actually the design.
It’s honestly worse than Columbia doing nothing because they invited ICE into one of their own residential buildings to detain a legal green card holder whose American citizen wife is eight-months pregnant. I would not feel comfortable attending or sending a kid to Columbia rn.
