#Trump demands unprecedented control at #ColumbiaUniversity, alarming scholars and speech groups
By COLLIN BINKLEY and JAKE OFFENHARTZ

NEW YORK (AP) — "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.
"Federal officials told the university it must immediately place its #MiddleEasternStudies, #SouthAsianStudies, and #AfricanStudies Department under 'academic receivership for a minimum of five years.' The demand was among several described as conditions for receiving federal funding, including $400 million already pulled over allegations of #antisemitism.
"Across #academia, it was seen as a stunning intrusion.
"'It’s an escalation of a kind that is unheard of,' said Joan Scott, a historian and member of the academic freedom committee of the American Association of University Professors [#AAUP]. 'Even during the #McCarthy period in the United States, this was not done.'"

They're casting out anyone who is not white & born American.. In 1930s/40s Germany that was done under the guise "For the Glory of the Reich", today in America it's "For the Glory of the Rich", an 'e' missing doesn't matter, fascism is fascism.. People seem to not realise that all it would take is the removal of DT and Musk to stop ALL OF THIS in an instant. Get to it!

'International classical pianist Jayson Gillham is one of the brave people who broke the unofficial prohibition on speaking out for Palestinians during a Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) hosted solo recital.
Not only did the MSO then drop him from a future concert, but it is now trying to have the discrimination case he brought against it dismissed.' https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/orchestra-attempts-silence-pianist-jayson-gillham-palestine-second-time #IsraelFascism #auspol #Fascism #ZionismIsWhiteSupremacism #StopIsrael

The #tesla market cap had been over us$1t for so long, now they can barely keep it at us$800b.
Yesterday it was us$774b
#marketcap = stock price x number of shares

#amazon and the other #broligarchs are so vile
I don't actually believe this report because I suspect all the smart speakers have been smart mic's all along, constantly recording people despite whatever agreements the company asserted.
Like, #tesla's surveillance tech has meant the company has been doing its own constant societal surveillance for years. Data says with the car, sure, but duhhhh I suspect corporate takes it too.
Trump's statement is absolutely fascist.
Trump wants to end the Freedom of the Press enshrined in the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
And the Republican party will let him.
Trump & the GOP are trying to turn the USA into an authoritarian state instead of a democratic republic.
Unless #WeThePeople stand up and #Resist, they will succeed.
Fun fact: Musk was only hailed as a "genius" in the US because of unearned adulation in the media. In South Africa they never took him seriously.
And South Africa's ambassador to the US just correctly observed that Elon Musk's promotion of the far right in Europe is based in racist ideas.
Which caused Marco Rubio to throw him out of the country, Putin style, for excessive accuracy. God this is humiliating.

I'm saving a ton of money over the last year. Here's my secret:
-Cancelled NYT subscription
-Cancelled WaPo subscription
-Cancelled Amazon Prime
-Cancelled Spotify
Turns out I'm saving money and also giving my more directly to smaller businesses, true journalists, and artists.
Really not that hard, people.
Of course, Trump's head of the newly-invented, Orwellian "Federal Task Force to Combat Antisemitism" is antisemitic. His name is Leo Terrell and his qualification is having worked at Fox.

Coast to coast US #protests against the dangerous cuts to our #veterans' services, and not a word in the cowardly corporate media!
When the American people march in protest, it is big news. Normally this would dominate all other headlines. I certainly can't remember a time when we had nationwide protests and there was just... no mention of them.
And I'm old enough to remember laughing at Baghdad Bob.
Timothy Snyder: "The federal government is undertaking to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate, on the grounds that as a student he led protests against the Israeli assault on Gaza. There is no accusation that Khalil committed a crime. He is being singled out, in what amounts to a test case for American authoritarianism as a whole, for the expression of his views.'

"Even Rand Paul — Rand Paul! — is voting against this CR. Think about that for a second."
"This is a moment for courage. For backbone. For clarity. But instead of rising to meet it, Chuck Schumer chose to fall in line. Perhaps most frustrating is that he reversed course just one day after bragging that Republicans don’t have the votes."

@APBBlue But not a surprise. We now get to see how corrupt Federal law enforcement is. And the courts.
Not optimistic. They already arrest that Palestinian with a green card and are trying to deport him.

And it's official. Too many crossovers, Schumer got his way.
If you wanted a focused list of people to primary for the Senate, now you have one:
Chuck Schumer
John Fetterman
Kirsten Gillibrand
Maggie Hassan
Catherine Cortez Masto
Jean Shaheen
Brian Schatz
Dick Durbin
Particularly disappointed in Cortez Masto, but really only so much.
Also voting yes were Gary Peters (retiring, no primary needed) and Angus King (who is NOT A DEMOCRAT, tho' he causes with them. He's an Independent, no primary possible)
