Overview

Key difference being that today it isn’t fear of foreign left wing ideologies like it was 100 years ago nor is it a fear of an imaginary extreme. Instead, this is far right fascist ideology being implemented in very real ways in real time right here by those sworn to protect and defend our Constitution. And it is a clear and present danger to all of us, whether we admit it or not. Whether we bury our heads in the sand or not. Fighting against it is our duty and it’s a cause worth dying for.

The 21st century Red Scare.

It's interesting. One might think that a considerable number of alumni would be in the more wealthy segment and potentially Trump supporters. Perhaps they've been critical of their alma matters and support Trump? The best outcome is Harvard continuing to do what it does without the Federal money demonstrating to Trump that his threats are meaningless. The worst thing you can do is capitulate to a bully. Sometimes you have to embrace the suck and demonstrate they have no power over you. Maybe Harvard has to cut a few things here or there or they get some supportive donations, who knows. But caving to Trump only emboldens him more.

DOGE is not about efficiency. https://www.npr.org/2025/04/15/nx-s1-5355896/doge-nlrb-elon-musk-spacex-security "The new revelations about DOGE's activities at the labor agency come from a whistleblower in the IT department of the NLRB, who disclosed his concerns to Congress and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel in a detailed report that was then provided to NPR. Meanwhile, his attempts to raise concerns internally within the NLRB preceded someone "physically taping a threatening note" to his door that included sensitive personal information and overhead photos of him walking his dog that appeared to be taken with a drone, according to a cover letter attached to his disclosure filed by his attorney, Andrew Bakaj of the nonprofit Whistleblower Aid."

https://www.chronicle.com/article/tracking-trumps-higher-ed-agenda Here's a very inclusive list of all of Trumps higher ed shenanigans.

This is some Nazi level logic here. "Either you are with us, or you support terrorism" is a hell of a statement from a country that literally has free speech as the very first amendment to the Constitution.

Donald Trump has effectively declared open war on every institute of higher learning in America. Columbia already capitulated but Harvard, yes Harvard, actually stood up to what can only be describe is massive government overreach, censorship, and threats. The results are predicable, Trump's sycophants and bullyboys are attacking, they have decaled war. IRS, Homeland Security, NIH, all of them have attacked because their Emperor was told no. This is being done under the guise of "fighting antisemitism" which is in itself some antisemitic bullcrap. Criticism of Israel in not antisemitic anymore than criticism of the United States makes you anti-American. It is a fake argument that is being used in an effort to do what Trump does best, extort and control. He wants control over higher education because he needs control over higher education to make sure he controls the thoughts of people. He is lashing out because research universities produce the very types of things that show his administration is already a disaster with leaks, misused funds, and an economic policy so awful it has already wiped up trillions in value. He also knows that Universities will be publishing work that shows his tax policy will instead just be another example of Welfare for Billionaires. Most of you will ignore this. It doesn't impact you right? If the Trump administration can do this to a University, it can do this to a State. If it can do it to a State it can do it to specific States (blue ones). It can do it to specific Counties or specific Cities. Basically Trump will use the power of the presidency as a cudgel to force anyone and everyone into his way of thinking. Your freedom now at risk. The US is about majority rule and minority rights. This is the first step but maybe a quote will work better. "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." https://apnews.com/article/harvard-trump-administration-federal-cuts-037c3f5b259a7577358c5979e701c7c7 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2025/apr/17/donald-trump-harvard-stripped-funds-el-salvador-us-politics-latest-updates-news https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1egdy24v7po This isn't Freedom, this is Fear.

These two statements conflict. First, suggesting a judge should offer proof of guilt is just insane when it comes to something like this. How would a judge, who is supposed to sit in judgement of evidence, provide evidence? It literally makes no sense. Second, you counter your own original argument by saying the "administration" meaning Trump, should have concrete evidence. So which is it? The judge should provide evidence or the government doing the deportation should provide evidence. I've noticed now that all of Trump's sycophants have labeled Abrego Garcia some version of terrorist or gang member and yet, to this point, they have offered 0, zilch, nada in the way of proof of such an accusation. You accused me of supporting returning terrorists to the US which is still horseshit, but I do believe we are a nation of laws and due process should apply to everyone within the confines of the United States. If Abrego Garcia is a gang member and terrorists, provide proof of that in a court of law. It is not, will not, and should not, be up to judges to provide evidence to the contrary. It is the responsibility of prosecutors to prosecute a case and present their evidence. Once you change to the government, without any evidence, can send anyone it wants to a foreign prison at any time, we no longer have a country. We have a dictatorship. "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

The Constitutional Crisis is officially here. When Trump officials are found in contempt of court and are shielded from that ruling by Trump, we will officially have reached crisis because if Trump can ignore court orders and the courts have no recourse through contempt, then the courts themselves are no longer a co-equal branch under the law.

Wasting your time asking where they are because they are here and all too happy to allow it. It comforts them to know that their maga constituents are too ignorant of history and too bereft of truthful news outlets to give a crap themselves.

Musk and DOGE sent letters to all non profits receiving federal funding demanding access. Where are you conservatives? I thought you wanted small government? This is rapidly turning into a surveillance state.

But her emails

Really? is that because you want to believe it isn't serious? It is smack dab the opposite of what has and continues to emanate from the White House.

RFK jr, he is a lying anti-vaccine piece of human garbage that should be ignored and ostracized to the fringes of the society for the trash receptacle he is. This report will be an anti-science, biased, preconceived dumpster fire that will result in lower vaccine rates and increased illness in kids. That is right, this is an attack on children. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-health/rfk-jr-says-hhs-will-determine-cause-autism-september-rcna200768

Fascists.

Trump Says He Wants to Send ‘Homegrown Criminals’ to El Salvador Next Whoever he wants to pretend is a criminal to him will be allowed to send to El Salvador. Caught whispering "You need to build 5 more of these prisons" "This is a different kind of office..."

Gotta tell you if I worked in immunology and the professor is anti-vaccine but everyone else knows they are a quack, I don't think the University should hire another 10 anti-vaccine ***** bags. This is coded language to force University's to hire right wing nut jobs to infiltrate US Higher Education. Trump's regime cannot handle independent thought which is what a "liberal arts" education is designed to promote. This letter is some massive government overreach and abridges the first amendment rights of faculty, staff, and students in multiple ways. One last thing, it references upholding the "Declaration of Independence" which is not a legal document but a declaration of war made against the Empire of Great Britain in 1776. You know who else attacked higher education, viciously? Joseph Stalin, the communist. Bet you thought I would say Hitler but nope, let's use the Republicans #1 boogey man, "socialism". Anyways, the US is in a dark dark place and it is only getting worse. Federal Agencies that kept us safe and helped us immensely are in the processes of either being shuttered or being run by sycophants without any qualifications. Things are going to start to implode as we head into summer. Trump re-iterated again today that he is seeking to deport US citizens to El Salvador that the president of that country already said he wouldn't send anyone sent there back.

Can't give children free school lunch but we can sure give money to billionaires. Rich people get socialism, poor ppl get whatever "trickles down" from their oligarchs.

https://www.wired.com/story/department-health-human-services-possible-collapse/ One of Shadow President Musk's sycophant lackeys is in charge and current and former HHS employees all say that he is AWOL with no leadership or directive. I'll bet money when the system implodes Musk will be like "see it was so bad! But if you pay me X amount of money we will build something better and HHS can subscribe to us forever". Why do I think that? Because this is a grift, a steal, a large scale heist of American tax dollars to help the billionaires become trillionaires while us peasants die in the dirt.
