Can we just be explicit about what universities are doing that is irritating the M@g@ followers so much:
We are “blatantly indoctrinating students” in the use of scientific findings to support their rationale and shape their thought process.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Remember when Mufasa was ruling the pridelands and everything was amazing and happy and then Scar took over and immediately turned it into a wasteland where everyone was poor and starving?

I can’t help thinking that if the president were a woman, the judiciary wouldn’t be quite so fond of deference to the executive.

"This represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against America's LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so."

Judge Young ruled narrowly today since he did not have time to justify broader rulings. But I don't think he has any uncertainty about where the law and justice fall on these cases.

This is incredible! But what does it mean for us that had NIH grants terminated? What about red states?
Judge Young was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1984. Here he excoriates the Trump Administration's termination of grants at NIH. This is just the start of a process. But it is ground-breaking and good news for today.

In short, if you had to choose between saving lives and improving human life or locking people up because they don’t look like you, the administration has chosen the torture and degrade option.
Funny, that's almost exactly the entire NIH budget 🤔
ICE is seeking $45 billion to expand immigrant detention. If approved, it could amount to a sixfold increase in spending for migrant detention.
