Imagine calling an actual Jew antisemitic because they criticized the Zionist Israeli regime.

Your country is so hard fucked and I feel fortunate only that I am watching from a distance.

War is peace, freedom is slavery, Judaism is antisemitism.

“It is a time to resist injustice that now threatens to be normalized by those who capitulate, sometimes in advance, to bullying tactics of extortion at the expense of basic standards that govern shared governance, institutional autonomy, due process, and fair review,” they continued. “To allow universities to be bossed by political operatives in this way undermines the basic ideals of the university as well as [its] important links to the future of critical thought, dissent, and democracy.”

hear, hear Judith

No one should be working with that administration, read down every regulation to the minimal required for each request.

Offer nothing beyond absolute requirement at the latest possible time, be as bureaucratically burdensome as possible, do it with a smile and a respectful 'yes sir/madam'.

Send back reports, requests and any other communications for the most minor of spelling or grammatical errors.

Make their Doge'd arses grind along the pavement as the administrative hurdles bury their 'efficient' government.

He has no self-awareness that he isn't a genius with money.

The US Department of Education did not immediately respond to inquiries.

Didn't Trump shut it down?
