The Trump administration is seeking a $1 billion settlement from UCLA, the university said Friday, as the two sides negotiate over allegations that the school tolerated antisemitism and employed diversity practices the White House objects to.

Given the excessive spending by @gavinnewsom.bsky.social in CA, this is a drop in the bucket.

Obviously, UCLA has to pay the "institution located in California" penalty. Turns out it's a doozy.

Extortion, and how much goes into Trump's pockets? Have Americans gone mad?

In normal times, yes. But here in trump 2.0, congress never talks back and scotus lets the administration proceed with whatever it wants until they actually consider the case in full five years later when it no longer matters.

The correct legal term for this sort of settlement is "shakedown."

If UCLA caves to such a ridiculous demand,it doesn't deserve its students. They should go to a school that fights for the freedoms it supposedly teaches.
