Leavitt: "Federal funding will be withheld until these universities comply with the administration's demands to keep Jewish American students on their college campuses safe, and to eradicate antisemitism and hate speech from their campuses."

I’m haunted tonight by the children & families who are waiting for lifesaving AID we sent & will not be delivered bc of Musk & Trump. It is unforgivable. Any person who deigns to call themselves religious or moral needs to speak out. This is children-in-cages-level-evil #USAID

We need to keep our focus in multiple places at once. We need to protest the horrific atrocities unfolding, AND we need to remember that they want our attention away from (as someone in my mentions aptly put it) the thieves in the treasury. We can hold both. 1/x
