Trump Finally Drops the Anti-Semitism Pretext | The latest letter to Harvard makes clear that the administration’s goal is to punish liberal institutions for the crime of being liberal.
Trump Finally Drops the Anti-Semitism Pretext
Haven’t we always known that fascists consider any failure to lick their boots “hate speech”?
I'm really excited to know I'll finally be going to Harvard Med.
I'm in the anatomical gift program... I'll be dying to get in.
They want to destroy what they call the Cathedral.

Where do many of these students come from, who are they, how do they get into Harvard, or even our country - and why is there so much HATE?
The Harvard Corporation is run by strongly left-leaning Obama political appointee Penny Pritzker, a Democrat Operative, who is catastrophic
What a completely normal and professional letter
lol are they saying Harvard is in financial ruin? Harvard? Land owner Harvard? With an endowment in the billions Harvard?
It's the precedent that matters, not whether the target needs the money.
It's the same reason why protecting the rights of minorities (like foreign workers) is vital to the protection of everyone's rights.
Which kind of seems like it would be a mistake to go after (what is likely) the wealthiest university in the US... They have all the resources in the world to fight it
A large part of what they do is research. Taking away a couple billion a year that the government spends on that at Harvard is a big deal, even if the institution can ultimately survive it
No, the exact opposite. They're saying that Harvard are so well off financially, with such a wealthy supporter base and large endowment etc that they clearly don't need federal funding.
It was never about antisemitism and always about control. The Trump administration wants to control all the "W's" and how at all levels of education.
She accuses it of admitting students who are contemptuous of America,
OK. So what?
Let's logic out that statement:
I wonder what would produce "contempt for America"? Maybe deporting people without due process? Or not recognizing human rights?
Maybe we should agree, then: Harvard shouldn't accept students that hate the Bill of Rights. Reject conservative ideology that suggests that due process shouldn't be followed. Reject conservative ideology that actively seeks to undermine the US Constitution.
Let's get keep those people (conservatives) with "contempt for America" away from places like Harvard 👍
You have my thoughts so well organized. Thanks. If only that was the point and could be refuted so easily instead of being pointless doublespeak used to justify garbage decisions.
Anti semitism? Na fuck Israel and Zionist. They divided America!!
America divided America. Israel just benefitted from it.
I feel like the thing GOP and conservatives fail to really understand is that those liberals of us don’t hate this country when we protest. We want this country to get better. We see unfairness and we want to fix it. We see corruption and want to eliminate it. We as a country get better if we look at all angles to problems and hear all voices.
GOP just wants to hear only the voice of their Orange God.
I think they understand but do not agree. Their vision of making the country better is just different, so much so that liberals are unable understand it IS actually what someone could want. They do want to live in a nationalistic distopia.
That kind of thinking sees no progress as a society. I get it. There are people who don’t want anything to change…. But that’s a horribly limited vision.
The 1950s were not better in every way. In fact, the only thing I see that was better was income inequality, and that’s the only thing the GOP is actively trying to not fix.
MAGA hates the country unless they’re in power.
Conservatives see unfairness as part of the hierarchy. It's a feature, not a bug. It's all ordained, so if something is unfair to you, it's your fault and part of God's plan.
Yeah. We saw the letter. Harvard saw it.. and trolled them. So many mistakes.
Yeah, no fucking shit.
Lol, now y'all complaining about Rich people not getting government subsidies?
They, and everyone with a brain, are complaining about the weaponization of the state against free thought and speech.
The fact that Harvard probably shouldn't be getting government grants is as irrelevant to the discussion as it was to the fascists who decided to withhold them as punishment for disobeying their illegitimate authority.
I'll wait until it gets worse to defend them
Defend who? How much worse? What is your imagined scenario, O wise Melvin Ferd?
That's.......not at all what the letter says. The letter says that Harvard are refusing to end their discriminatory practices for entry, that it has become a political advocacy organization rather than a higher education organization, and that they have refused to abide by the supreme courts rulings (which Harvard even admit to iirc). As such they will no longer get any federal funding. If they were to comply with the laws, they would get their funding.
This seems pretty fair by any measure. To get federal funding you obviously should be following federal laws.
TLDR: Lol, no.
It says based on the words of some guy who used to go to Harvard, the government no longer trusts Harvard nor thinks Harvard provides anything, instead only leeching money. It never gave any proof of it not currently trying to comply with laws and court decisions, as that would require the judicial branch or third party input/audits.
This is not the definition of fair. This is using a single customer review to force political teachings they want by withholding unrelated funds.

It says no such thing. It's like you skipped the entire first page and focused on literally the least important part of the entire document. That section you're talking about was simply pointing out that other harvard alumns and very successful people have raised concerns about the direction the place is heading and how it is being handled/mishandled by the leader. That persons "review" wasn't what made this decision. It played no part in it. Harvards actions caused this decision.

The letter never gave any proof? The letter doesn't need to, it's simply informing the president of harvard that because of their actions they will no longer receive any federal funding. This letter isn't a court case. Harvard have openly said that they're not going to comply with the laws: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2025/04/harvard-wont-comply-with-demands-from-trump-administration/
The only ones to blame for Harvard losing their federal funding are Harvard themselves. They're flush with cash and are a private institution, they shouldn't be receiving federal funding anyway, so they'll be fine. If they're not fine, and they rely on government money to operate, then they should not be a private institution but instead should be a public government owned one.
lol, as if Harvard were liberal
they're infamously, thuggishly conservative
By Nazi standards, conservatives are too far left.
From an extreme right viewpoint, everything is left.
Yep.

But no matter how "tough" they were to appease Biden's admin and their own donors, it's not enough for the rightwing.
It's the base reason you can't meet fascists halfway.
They fought against free speech and watched their students be abused, and now they're getting shit for not going further.
It's literally the plot to First They Came For
Its the students themselves who are criminally conservative, in addition to the schools administrative hierarchy promoting far-right neo-feudalism and calling it capitalism.
Rape, assault, and battery are the accepted norm among the Harvard student body.
For example:

American conservatives are supposed to be liberals, as in people that believe in ideological liberalism.
If someone tells you they hate liberals and socialists, believe them, and recognize what that means they are.
