Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges. Good luck! 🫡 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

#Trump coming for #Harvard makes utter sense:

1) It is almost exactly how the #Nazis took over all branches of the #WeimarRepublic in the 1930's

2) All revolutionaries come for the university students, because they usually constitute the leaders for future opposition (e. g. #Mao, #Stalin,...)

Controlling #Education is indispensable:

...cow, you always go for the jugular of the biggest bully there. After subduing him, all others will fall into line.

It is the same strategy the #OrangePeril is pursuing with #NGO's: if he manages to bankrupt #Greenpeace, which other NGO will oppose him afterwards?
