A president openly declaring war to his political opponents 🚨‼️
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 10mo agoTrump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

They are “protecting students” by not allowing them to enroll… Very stupid policy, to say the least…
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.Noem on Harvard: "27 percent of their students are foreign students and they will have to find some other university to go to."
🚨This is a HUGE escalation and a deliberate effort to use the government against Trump's enemies. Weaponizing the Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification against Harvard to punish them for pushing back is a new low — and needlessly punishes thousands of innocent students.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · last yr.Trump just revoked the ability for foreign students to enroll at Harvard.
