#authoritarian playbooks
April 15, #Harvard...refused to comply with the unlawful demands...included getting rid of all #DEI policies and subjecting all curriculum, students, and staff to ‘oversight’ 🥶
Wasn't it the #TrumpAdministration that SCREAMED that the States should have the power of the education system, #StatesRightsEducation ⁉️
So, why is #MAGA demanding, by withholding grants, to have the power of #federalgovernment rights?
⭕Answer, they want to divide the country

"In his latest book,"Hayek’s Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the #Capitalism of the #FarRight", #QuinnSlobodian writes that the rise of the contemporary right — both in its #technolibertarian and more #authoritarian strains — cannot be understood without considering neoliberal thinkers’ turn to nature and science as a buttress against demands for #socialjustice and #affirmativeaction in the 1990s.
"The book was intended as a corrective to the narrative in which the far right was understood as a response to the excesses of #neoliberalglobalization.
The idea is to understand how people who prioritize #economicfreedom above all else would find helpful allies in people who believe in natural forms of hierarchy such as race, gender, and intelligence.
Things like the present project of destroying the #worldtrade system are not explainable by simple structural incentives. It has a very strange intellectual coherence, but one that you can map out.
There’s a concerted effort right now in the United States to make the practice of scholarship as we’ve understood it impossible. It’s really an effort to defund #highereducation."

"If the underlying disclosure wasn't concerning enough, the targeted, physical intimidation & surveillance of my client is. If this is happening to Mr. Berulis, it is likely happening to others & brings our nation more in line w/ #authoritarian regimes than w/open & free democracies," wrote Bakaj, his atty, in a stmnt to NPR. "It is time for everyone–& #Congress in particular–to acknowledge the facts & stop our #democracy, freedom, & liberties from slipping away…."
#Harvard professors sue #Trump administration over funding cut threats
by Katie Cole, April 14, 2025, #WBUR
"The Harvard chapter of the American Association of University Professors sued the Trump administration Friday over what they call an 'unlawful and unprecedented' attempt to use federal funding cuts to restrict #FreeSpeech.
"The #DepartmentOfEducation announced in late March that it would review $8.7 billion in federal grants and contacts given to Harvard, alleging that the school failed to prevent #antisemitic discrimination on campus.
"The Trump administration then unveiled a broad set of demands on April 4 the university must agree to in order to keep getting federal funding, including cutting all diversity, equity and inclusion programming, and modifying any programming and departments that 'fuel antisemitic harassment.' The administration gave Columbia University a similar set of demands in March, which the school agreed to.
"The lawsuit by the professors' group, filed in #Massachusetts federal court, alleges that the administration's federal funding review violates the #TitleVI of the #CivilRightsAct, which prohibits discrimination in programs that receive federal funds. The court filing says the law requires specific procedures to cut federal funds and that the Trump administration has not taken any of those steps.
"The group said in a press release that the administration's actions are in effort to create a chilling effect among universities and faculty to stop speech that the president does not like.
" 'Eliminating discrimination and protecting all students is important,' said Nikolas Bowie, a Harvard law professor and the secretary-treasurer of the school's #AAUP chapter, in a statement. 'But Trump is defying the Civil Rights Act, terrifying students, and illegally holding hostage grants for hospitals and scientific research so he can accomplish his real goal of punishing academics for our politics.'
"The lawsuit says that the actions by the administration have 'already caused severe and irreparable harm by halting #academic #research and #inquiry at Harvard.'
"This is the second suit that the Harvard AAUP chapter has filed against the Trump administration this year. The first was a joint suit with other chapters, including one from Columbia, over federal efforts to deport #MahmoudKhalil and students that engaged in #ProPalestinian #activism."

#NayibBukele (known by his mom as Nobby #Bukake) is #OrangeShitler's latest #Authoritarian boyfriend. Today #NobbyBukake and #KingShitzInPants had a little "tough bro" giggle about sending #Murrican #Citizens - who have upset #tRump - to Nobby's little naked #gulag in #elSalvador WITHOUT #DueProcess. Do they circle-jerk over #incarcerated men stripped to the waist?
Are you great yet #Murrica?
