“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber hrvd.me/GarberRespond347t

Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts, yet millions still defend him without question.
Why?
When someone uses cult tactics, legal consequences don’t damage their image; they can be twisted to reinforce it.
He casts himself as a victim, a martyr.
The system’s out to get him.
His followers? He is being attacked "because of them"
This is how cult leaders protect power.
And it’s why facts alone won’t bring people back.

It needs to be codified into law as a crime to stop the denialism of the pain & suffering of my late parents & many others in the Indian residential school system. Absolutely disgusting behaviour by Rebel News & True North.

NEW: When Harvard said no to the White House, donors said yes — with their wallets.
Within 24 hours of Garber’s Monday message, Harvard pulled in over $1 million from 3,800+ online donations, per a source.

My adult daughter Rachel, works everyday, pays taxes, has friends, loves going to the movies, and listens to lousy (IMO) music. She has a meaningful and thoughtful life.

If the Debates Commission can pull the Greens from the debate at the last second, they can certainly revoke press access for propaganda outfits like Rebel News and True North using the platform to spread residential school denialism, hate, and misinformation.

A 90 year old Holocaust survivor confronted Trump's ICE director. What a legend.

USA accounts for 15% of international trade. The rest of the world holds 85% leverage over the US so Trump using this as a bargaining chip has a huge backlash risk and reality for the US economy.
BREAKING: John Bolton just gave the best explanation of how ignorant Trump’s Tariffs are, that I have heard yet.
“Instead of taking on the country that has stole our intellectual property for decades, by gathering our allies together, all of whom also suffer from China’s intellectual property theft, and engaging in concerted action, we are at war with our largest trading partners and are about to goto war with China as well… This is illiteracy.”
