If you don’t like what you are seeing in the US, unfortunately, my fear has been for a long time that the leaders of UK institutions, and that includes universities, will fold more quickly when the pressure rises. This confirms those expectations. Let’s don’t let them.

Also. Next time someone tells you Ru is invading Ukraine preemptively to stop it from joining NATO, show them this and laugh in their face. Blaming these genocidal politics on Ru feeling insecure is peak ignorance or gaslighting.

Next time any piece of shit politician tells you that "these are russian territories", "everyone speaks russian there" and so on - show them this. That is the "how" and the "why". It is called ethnocide and has been done numerous times by russia over the past centuries, to erase us.

Any other president, when threatening to acquire/conquer the territory of our NATO allies & legitimizing territorial conquest in continental Europe by <checks notes> 🇷🇺, would have been immediately removed from office. But alas, Trump is One Special Boy & we don't have a functioning Congress anymore.
Again, this is a presidency-ending scandal for any POTUS from Truman to Obama. It's wildly irresponsible while 🇷🇺 is occupying 1/5 of 🇺🇦 & trying to take the rest, & 🇨🇳 is eyeing 🇹🇼 & others' territorial waters. It is a direct violation of our NATO & UN commitments. Why does nothing matter to the media?
i think it is great that the press is treating this like it’s just another proposal
