How politically motivated can this attack on #UCLA be really? Why is the former vice chair of the #California #Republican Party, and the former National Committeewoman of the Republican National Committee for California doing this? www.justice.gov/crt/media/14...

Are American Jewish groups speaking out about this? I'm sure there are those who support anything Trump does, but I can't imagine it's the majority. Why aren't they saying what Trump's doing is not really about combating antisemitism?

Consider the source of shakedown/blackmail that is going on which is politically motivated now at the DOJ who sent the letter to UCLA. Just ask the Republican operative who once wrote a scathing takedown of a Jewish President at Dartmouth what her true motives are? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmeet...

Oh, I know about her. A former coworker went to high school with her and said she was a 💩 even back then.

So true. And he has a Republican operative embedded at the DOJ threatening/shaking down UCLA with this bogus lawsuit.

Goal of Christian Right: use antisemitism as inroad to overtake liberal-enlightenment tradition of critical thought, rationalism, and science. Huge Fraud. Trump/Bondi/DOJ are hijacking antisemitism. Actual values: Hegseth/Pentagon leader--pay attention to his views! apnews.com/article/wome...

That is so twisted and disingenuous. And, going after higher education and destroying academic freedom under the guise of this twisted rhetoric and regime is so suspect.

I hope not. They’ve already gone after so many now.Trump also wants the private Ivy League/private university endowments and had his minions levy a huge tax in the BIG Ugly bill because the private hedge fund guys were mad because they couldn’t get their mitts on endowments at Harvard or Stanford.

I hope not too, but it’s the University of Michigan, which is one of the more prolific public universities
