Ahuka (he/him)

I would call your attention to a significant sequence of events.

1. Trump attacks Harvard.
2. Harvard refuses to fold.
3. Universities around the country start to form a mutual defense pact against Trump.
4. Trump now says that letter to Harvard was never supposed to be sent.

What it does show is that Trump, like bullies everywhere, folds when he faces firm opposition. So we need to put firm opposition in his face at every opportunity.

@Ahuka Maybe, but Trump actually hasn't backed off from the demands in the letter and still threatens Harvard's funding.

@BruceMirken @Ahuka someone else mentioned columbia, who did respond to the requests, didn't get the money.
The money is gone. It's in trump pocket.

@BruceMirken @Ahuka Until they’re destroyed, in the most humiliating way possible, you have to keep fighting. As soon as you stop, they don’t.

@Ahuka I heard that Harvard refused to let Baron in, him being a chip off of the old block-head, and that's why he was targeting them...

@Ahuka

I agree, if you give into a bully, they just keep going as far as you let them. And it get easier to give in a little more each time.

Now, more than ever, we need the wisdom of our intellects, the patriotism of our citizens, and the passion and talents of those who still believe in the American experiment. I am deeply grateful to Timothy Snyder for his 20 Lessons On Tyranny and for talents of the brilliant John Lithgow for bringing them to life.

@Ahuka

When you see a bully punch him really hard in the nose, so his visuals of blood are extra embarrassing to his shattered ego.

Sure, he's a pathetic subhuman loser who needs decades of therapy which he may never seek, but in the meantime protect the vulnerable by punching up, while they punch down.

At no point in the history of the world has giving in to bullies ever resulted in getting bullied less.

@Ahuka excellent datapoint and observation, really. "wasn't going to do that," "glad we didn't have to", "we never said/did/screamed that".

he's even setting the stage for "his peace agreement" to fail and be blamed on Ukraine. there's no way Zalinski can take putin/trump's deal to his people.

concede crimea?
give up mineral rights?
give the US their power plants??
like, _NOTHING_ to penalize or discourage the aggressor. NOTHING good for ukraine. it's all a loser Z will have to reject. christ.

@Ahuka but sometimes a bully wants to prove his strength and that's when things get ugly... One still have to stand up, but it's not that simple.

@Ahuka it also shows how unusual very powerful Harvard was in taking a stand.

Many academicians and their administrators are fucking cowards, just like the rest of us.
