The articles in this issue didn't just use Nazi imagery, they actively called for mass execution of people they view as immoral, abortion and gender affirming care providers, sex workers, LGBTQ people etc. It's blatantly fascist propaganda that has no place at Harvard.

That’s why conservatives are pouring millions intro trad-wife bullshit and birth control disinformation. They need young women to believe the erosion of their rights is a good thing, actually!
It’s not enough to oppress women—they want us ^grateful* for it. (We’re so much prettier when we smile.)

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE.

Available to download Friday, some Epstein files no longer there Saturday afternoon
An NPR analysis of the Epstein files shows some documents, originally available on Friday, are no longer on the Department of Justice's "Epstein Library" website as the DOJ releases more files.

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

“The most transparent administration in history” only released 10% of the Epstein files yesterday.
The DOJ must be confusing transparency with cover-up.

The only thing that the DOJ proved yesterday by releasing their heavily redacted Trump/Epstein documents is that the POS is definitely a pedo.

All the pretense is gone. Trump is out right running on an ethnic cleansing platform.
Even European extreme-right parties haven’t gone this far.
The most desperate he gets, the darker he gets. This is going to get extremely scary and extremely ugly.

If you are a DOJ official involved in reviewing or withholding the Epstein files and you are acting contrary to the law President Trump himself signed, you are breaking the law.
If you have firsthand knowledge of DOJ officials violating that law, you should come forward immediately as a whistleblow
