The Trump administration brushed aside decades of precedent when it ordered Columbia University to oust the leadership of an academic department, a demand seen as a direct attack on academic freedom and a warning of what’s to come for other colleges facing federal scrutiny.
How are you guys not marching on Washington yet?
Easier said than done when the possibility of a bullet is on the other end of that protest.
It’s 1200 miles away…
Even if I could afford it it’s not exactly a day trip.
There’s been hundreds of protests. The national media isn’t covering them but there have been protests in every state capital and major city. Republicans have stopped doing town halls. France is the size of Texas and Paris is a few hours (by train) from Marseille. Los Angeles is like a 6 hour flight from DC. It’s a lot harder to have one big protest here than in geographically smaller countries.
Bro I can’t even physically get to my state’s capital. It’d be like a four hour train ride, and a few hundred dollars. Maybe if there was funding for busses there could be higher turnout, but the only people who want to resist are the ones who are already poor and desperate. Things are still fine for the people who’ve always been comfortable.
First they came for Columbia, but it wasn’t my football team.
They already begun expelling 22 students
I demand Trump be punished for all his crimes
Didn’t we hear about this 5 days ago or something? And Columbia capitulated? I could’ve sworn I got updates from reputable (ish) sources.
After they capitulated to Trump, Trump cut funding anyways.
Now Trump is here stating that they need to do such and such to regain funding (that Trump cut despite Columbia University capitulating to Trump).
