Harvard rejected policy changes demanded by Trump — becoming the first university to refuse to comply with the regime’s demands.

Now it's suing the regime.

Other institutions, firms, and individuals should take note.

Surrendering to Trump’s tyranny only invites more of it.

Remember when the economy was booming, stocks were soaring, we weren’t in a trade war with China, we didn’t have a day drunk for a Sec Def, a couch fucking Cabbage Patch doll for a VP or an evil, incurious idiot for a president & we still funded cancer research?
Yeah, that was like three months ago.

Gov. DeWine just signed SB1, a law ending “DEI” in Ohio public higher ed.

Now that it’s law, U of Toledo just killed the following BA programs:

• Africana Studies
• Asian Studies
• Disability Studies
• Middle East Studies
• Philosophy
• Religious Studies
• Women's/Gender Studies

And…

• Spanish

This is Yale Professor Timothy Snyder, who studies authoritarians and tyranny, with a warning.

He and another Yale professor, Jason Stanley, who studies similar topics at Yale, are moving to Canadian universities, a result of the political and academic climate here.

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime.

Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government.

At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

One day someone you know stops showing up to work, school, church, etc… nobody knows where they went, maybe they moved? Who knows, you forget about it, move on. Years later you find out there are mass graves created by the regime found on the outskirts of town, and that’s where they were all along.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Why does the world's richest man want to gut the CFPB?

Because it would shield him from having to follow financial laws to keep customers' money safe — and give him access to confidential records about his competitors.

Follow the money.

The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.

Trump is giving corporations free rein to bribe foreign officials. It's no mystery why the rest of the world looks at us with disgust. Corruption is just another one of our biggest exports.
