One point that really has to be considered with all of this ridiculous talk about Nobel Peace Prizes is that millions of people remain under a violent and dehumanizing military occupation, even with this newfound "peace".

Also, given recent events, it is ludicrous to propose that anti-Trump or pro-Palestinian speech is somehow protected on campuses in a manner that conservative speech is not.

As I've stated many times, I'm actually sympathetic to this position, but making this argument now has moved from tired to downright foolish, given the government's authoritarian attack on speech and higher education. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/o...

My best guess at the reason why is that Trump has transformed the executive branch (and increasingly the military) into a personalistic regime with the sole purpose of serving his authoritarian aims...so they like, brazenly so.

This is a lie. This "compact" punishes the criticism of conservative ideas and imposes ideological tests on faculty and students. If you can't defend your proposals on an honest basis, then your proposals are bad.

Q: Are you going to work with your administration to designate antifa a foreign terror organization?

TRUMP: You mean anti-terror?

Q: Antifa

TRUMP: Antifa?

Q: A foreign terror organization

TRUMP: Would you like to see it done? I'd be glad to do it. Does everybody agree? It sounds good to me

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.
