Kristi Noem tells Harvard's thousands of foreign students that they "must transfer or lose their legal status"—and that newly admitted students can't enroll. This is because Harvard is "pro terrorist" because it tolerates people who talk critically about Fearless Leader. This is fascism in action.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.
We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.
Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.
