Their pressure seems to have helped Harvard President Alan Garber stand up to Trump
No: what helps Harvard stand up to Trump is that Harvard is loaded. The University of Bumfuck Nowhere will immediately cave in to Trump’s authoritarian nonsense to maintain their federal funding and their tax-exempt status. Harvard can afford to do without them.
In other words, I’m glad Harvard is resisting. But this is yet another example of rich-man-can-do.
It’s like AI was trained on videos of Trump cabinet meetings.
Well they’re right: it really feels like 1934 Germany right now.
Here’s another thing that went through my mind: they’re refusing because the guy is already dead.
That’s one helluva team of mercenaries you’re gonna need to storm that ultra-militarized Salvadorian concentration camp and sift through 40,000 innmates all dressed in white with shaved heads to find the poor dude whose life Trump ruined.
The 3rd Reich lasted 12 years and Trump’s regime is mirroring the Nazis pretty closely. I expect it will last a few years too until it’s overthrown, sadly.
Trump and his goons flatly ignore the courts now. That’s just another example.
I agree with you that you can’t change the past and you can only change the present - and that’s it’s not terribly constructive to say coulda-shoulda.
But honestly… It takes a particularly dim-witted individual to vote for Trump the first time, and a complete and utter moron to do it again the second time. It’s not like nobody could see any of this shit coming, and anybody with an IQ above room temperature knew this was gonna happen. That’s what’s so damning!
The time to rise against Trump was before the election. Because frankly, unless you’re willing to risk being shipped off to a concentration camp without due process or worse, whatchagondo about it now…?
Don’t create evidence for the GestapoICE to come get you and send you to a Salvadorian concentration camp some day. It’s not smart to post what you think on the internet these days.
I think we are now over the edge
Indeed. I fully believe Apr 14, 2025 will be the date chosen by history and whatever equivalent of the Nuremberg trial of Trump and his henchmen a few years from now for the official beginning of the US dictatorship.
Just because people like being abused doesn’t mean it’s not abuse.
Developers get shafted pretty hard by Apple, if nobody else.
What the hell rock have you been living under? Apple has been an abusive walled garden for many years.
Well, a human being talking random shit won the last presidential election. So why not an AI at this point?
Which instance of constitutional violation is this about? I lost count…
I wonder if you can eat cellphones or inject computer chips instead of insulin…
What good is cheap(er) tech when you can’t afford drugs and groceries?
Ah yes, I forgot… His tech bro backers are probably behind this.

I agree. It’s just that resistance should be uplifting, and seeing that, once again, only the rich have the means to resist is depressing AF.
