This compact would take away academic freedom & freedom of speech.

Professors would have to censor facts & students would, too.

It's un-American!
It's undemocratic!
It's fascist!
& It's evil!

Trump’s ‘compact’ with universities holds a hidden danger

OPINION: By imposing institutional neutrality, the Trump administration is giving itself the power to determine our universities’ missions, UC Davis law professor Brian Soucek writes.

"Law school deans could no longer come together, as they did in 2021, to condemn the Jan. 6 riots as a threat to the rule of law."

Trump, Rufo and the rest are trying to full scale tilt us into authoritarianism.

Universities need to say no to this cancerous compact.

What is conservativism?
Is it freedom or tyranny?

Let's take Trump's "Compact" that he's pressed Universities to accept or face investigation — it
requires all employees to abstain in their official capacity from actions or speech related to politics.

Sounds like fascism to me!
It's not freedom.

Trump wants to rig the house in his favor next November.

Temporary redistricting in California can offset his actions in Texas.

Unlike Texas, where Trump toadies forced redistricting, voters decide in California.

When Cosplay Kristi “more plastic than brains” Noem tried to turn America’s airports into propaganda screens, public servants refused to bow. From JFK to Portland, they chose law over lies & democracy over fear.

If you would have described the traits of hard core MAGAs and Trump ten years ago…. Those very same people would have called those people SNOWFLAKES.

Constantly whining, always the victim, always angry at everyone else.

Where? Republicans are MIA

Why? Republicans seek no

Congressman Eugene Vindman @repvindman.bsky.social · 5d

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about this government shutdown.

Who? What? When? Where? Why?

Every answer points to the same thing — Republicans’ inability to do their jobs.

I’m still in D.C., working to pass a budget that puts hardworking Virginians first.

Shortly after Sinaloa Drug Cartel heads entered plea deals in July/August, forfeited $80M, had family placed in protective custody…Trump bombs 1st of several boats in Caribbean. No confirmation who was killed, if drugs were onboard. Is Trump’s “intel” coming from convicted Sinaloa Cartel members?
