It is heartbreaking to see Columbia capitulating to the Trump Administration's attacks on higher education and democracy. Not only does this legitimize the offensive against civil society and pressure other universities to fold, but it feels like madness to trust the Administration to keep a deal.

For over 200 years we had a constitution. Thanks to the fucking supreme fucking court, the constitution no longer applies to the sitting president. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on, Roberts.

Yeah ... a day late, right? But let's see how the bully replies ... or let's see how long Roberts lasts. 🤔

Has there ever been more of a "Calgon, take me away" moment in all of history? Maybe you have a three minute [coping mechanism] audio story in you, about departing, arriving, emigrating, immigrating, packing, unpacking, Acapulco... and/or any other idea inspired by this handsome set. #lockstitched

What Cobb should have done is say: You still have free-speech rights as far as we are concerned. If you get targeted for protected speech, we will do our best to support you. We will put up a fight. We will protest. And if you get deported, you can Zoom into your classes and still get your degree.
