Academic freedom is not for sale. It’s a sacred value that transcends political cycles and economic pressures. Universities that defend it are not just protecting their own integrity; they’re safeguarding the future of knowledge itself. Let’s rise to support them.

Karoline Leavitt is a liar, propagandist & accomplice to a criminal regime. “There is never going to be a world in which [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] is going to live a peaceful life in MD because he is a foreign terrorist & MS-13 gang member,” she said w/o evidence about a man who's committed no crime.
