A group of the nation’s leading research universities has requested that a federal judge allow them to file a legal brief supporting Harvard University’s lawsuit against the Trump administration over more than $2 billion in frozen federal grant money.
The 18 institutions requesting permission to file an amicus curiae (or “friend of the court”) brief are: Boston University; Brown University; California Institute of Technology; Colorado State University; Dartmouth College; Johns Hopkins University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Michigan State University; Oregon State University; Princeton University; Rice University; Rutgers University; Tufts University; University of Maryland, College Park; University of Oregon; University of Pennsylvania; University of Pittsburgh; and Yale University. |
+1 Those who bend the knee rationalize their actions as simply a prudent survival strategy. But that’s delusory, for the historical record shows that anticipatory compliance paves the road to autocracy. Bullies like Trump always demand more from their supplicants – more money, more abandoning principles, more loyalty-oath behavior. Anticipatory compliance feeds the beast, showing authoritarians how much they can get away with. |

| I clicked on the link in the OP and got a virus. I had clicked on it when it was first posted and did not. Please click with caution. |
| I now live out of the DC and am proud to say I work at one of the amici universities. This support is absolutely vital. We have to push back on all fronts against this administration’s misuse of power. |
You should relocate to your real country. |
I would also advise those sympathetic to MAGA movement to not engage in "debate" with those that continue to believe that the US is a "democracy". Yes we know - you love your "democracy", but only when the "majority" is composed of those on the left, because no one else can be trusted with power... |
The country was far from perfect but doing pretty well. Then MAGA had to ruin it. I wish you all would have just left. Move to Texas and secede and start your own country. You are all full of such hate. Biden had plenty of flaws but tried really hard to unify this country. Which was impossible given what he was dealing with. Trump sees it as us against them. Within our own country. That is truly sick. Fat pathetic impotent loser. |
It's not really anti-Semitism. It's simply a new front in the persistent neo_marxist "oppressor vs oppressed" ideology. No one in their right mind supports a brutal terrorist regime like Hamas - an organization that uses innocents as human shields or that steals humanitarian aid for their own people to enrich themselves. This latest front is merely a pivot away from the most recent failures - like gender theory. It's all packaged the same, just with different targets. We've had the 99 percenters, the climate terrorists, the anti-capitalists, BLM and Critical Race Theory, gender wars...now we are back to the Zionists...it never ends with these people. In all cases, the target of leftist rage is an "oppressor", and the "oppressor" du jour is Israel in Gaza. Good luck engaging is serious dialogue with people that have no interest in solving any problems outside of their warped "oppressor- oppressed" framework. |
+1. Disappointed alumn |
I'm full of hate? lol |

I don't hear Democratic politicians calling other people by childish, rude names? And you all support this. And then spew the miserable, ignorant lies you hear on Fox News. Democrats are living by the values that truly did make America great. MAGA (you are not Republicans - you have bastardized the party) is pissing it all away. |
