Has Trump met his match? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/china-harvard-and-the-supreme-court
Republican Senators are afraid of Trump retribution.
So far, only one, Lisa Murkowski, said the quiet part out loud

Harvard rejected policy changes demanded by Trump — becoming the first university to directly refuse to comply with the regime’s demands.
Other universities should take note.
Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s tyranny invites more of it.
Dem’s project 2029 part 7 and last!
Liz Cheney a republican had to come up with our
Project 2029 but it’s so good I can get behind it! Cause fighting this fascist president has aged me considerably!
Dear Senator Murkowski,
You have power as a United States Senator whose party is in the majority. We each have power, but you do especially. Find your bravery and others will follow. I promise you. Our democracy depends on it.
Sincerely,
Becca
BREAKING: An American citizen has been kidnapped by ICE and is being illegally held in Florida.
This is terrifying.
We've had (at least) one virtual Town Hall with Bernie, Becca Balint and Peter Welch. He represents us perfectly fine.
Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy
Thank you for speaking out @balint.house.gov, proud to have you as my Representative!
If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next?
This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.
In the dead of night, the Senate advanced Trump’s budget.
A great night for billionaires — a bad night for everyone else.
No criminal charges were filed against Mohsen Mahdawi
And apparently the Trump administration has asserted no legal basis to deport him-other than Marco Rubio’s say so
If this doesn’t scare you
Remember-they’re trying to revoke birthright citizenship
So they can deport ANYONE they wish
The Trump administration’s coercive tactics to defund Harvard unless it adopts ideologically driven reforms reveal a broader strategy: transforming education into a tool of state propaganda, at the expense of academic freedom and institutional autonomy.
Fun fact, Target does not let you delete your Target dot com account. You may only deactivate it via a phone support request. And If you want them to delete your information... You have to fill out a web form .. giving them ALL of your information.
@booker.senate.gov: "For a guy who spends the weekend on his golf course and brags to the media about him winning a tournament while the struggling-- this is the kind of gross arrogance of a Marie Antoinette saying, "let them eat cake" ... Screw him for telling people to accept pain."
I recognize that it was naive of me, but I truly thought that writing this very story in this very way would help somehow. That maybe we could avert our future calamity. But here we are in the jaws of an insatiable dragon, and I am so sorry that I failed. Maybe we need more than stories to save us.
Your story has helped to put our current situation into perspective for some very young minds and that is a beautiful thing.
Update; I noticed the publish date for this is 2022, so it's not exactly prescience as much as a well written allegory for our current era. Still great.
I asked my local bookstore to order a copy 🎉
Amen!
Thank you, @corybooker.com, for YOUR leadership and FIGHT on behalf of the Democratic Party!

So you can give my chickens autism, no thanks! /s

Can't tell if this is an April Fools joke or not...
