I’ve always been a little eh about Harvard, but anyone taking on Tangerine Palpatine is worth locking arms with.

Guess we both forgot the rich still produce educated graduates. They're not all flunkies with gift diplomas.
Right! We need to battle these monsters across the board, and pressure every single chink and crack in their clumsy, ham-handed takeover!
Ok. Good. And what happens with those institutions educating less privileged people and thus doing an extremely important work and that don’t have wealthy donors?
Call the Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121) every day and ask: Why isn’t my Senator/Representative calling to impeach? You swore to defend the Constitution. We got a dictator problem. The concentration camps are here. Shout “Impeach!” All together. Every day. (Please repost.)
I know that it will eventually make strange bedfellows but the fight against fascism relies on us supporting any ally we can get.

Temporarily
Preparation H for treating painful nether bits.
Harvard's endowment could finally be put to good use in this fight.
There are a lot of local charities that support the targeted as well. Please find them in your area and support them. Money, time, online support.
In our town, the local food bank and library.
and people power to damage the powers behind the throne who wrote the orange morons mandate, or at the least do them so much financial damage they never recover. coors, koch, uline, tripp lite, variety wholesalers ( roses, maxway, super10) they all threw money at the manifesto.
Now’s a great time to use the donor match your employer offers.
Now is the time to negotiate
I sent um $50!
My coloring pages double as both art therapy and reaction memes:
This is a virtuous cycle - donor support will increase Harvard's ability to withstand the bullying from #Trump which in turn will generate more donor support. And if you were going to apply to a university, would you pick one which folded quickly to a bully or which put up a strong defense?
You mean places like Columbia that folded like a cheap suit? 🤨
George Conway pledged $100,000, and you?
We did the same with PBS and NPR. Increased our donations.
Harvard didn't prevent Elise Stefanik or Tom Cotton from becoming their very best MAGA selves. Guess Harvard's just not all that good at the woke/antisemitic/DEI indoctrination that seems to rile up Trump & Fox State News so much.
I’m an alum and I’ve never considered donating. Still probably won’t - my donation wouldn’t be felt and I prefer to donate to mission-driven orgs fighting transphobia and racism - but I’m not unhappy they are doing this.
It wouldn't be the first time that educational institutions have made a stand against a tyrant. Now the public need to get behind them.
Vote with your feet! What’s that mean?🤪
Power to the people, cos there's more people than there are of drumpf's cabal...
Of all universities, the dumb fucks had to poke Harvard. The Alumni only needs to receive an email and I bet Harvard would raise $1 billion overnight
I'm glad about that. I was wondering if Harvard grads tend to be rich and therefore likely on the Republican side.
Educated people tend to lean towards progressivism to varying degrees, yet I'm sure whether it factors in or not depends whether they assimilated the knowledge or if they were just passed along the classes like a hot potato.
The Ivy’s tend to be outliers given the intergenerational wealth aspect. Yes the merit based scholars are more progressive but there’s a lot of old money in those halls.
Old money can't buy brains, but it can buy diplomas. That's exactly how we got a moron running a shadow presidency in broad daylight.
Exactly!

Appropriation of “antisemitism” not primarily to protect Jewish students or ensure civil rights compliance, but to discipline liberal institutions under the guise of civil rights enforcement — and, arguably, to enforce a political agenda rooted in cultural grievance and white Christian nationalism
Yep. I haven’t given in years, but I just did today.
Yup... this is how you do it. You DON'T cower in fear from fascist and bullies... you stand together and unite instead.
I support anyone and any institution that stands up to Felon Don, the Con!!!!
Harvard should open a campus in Canada

bsky.app/profile/moll... Mr. Takei. This is a Bluesky post. You are on Bluesky. You can just repost this instead of taking a screenshot.
Exactly, let's show Orange face Mcdumba$$ that we don't need his dirty money.
You were a hero as Mr Sulu on Star Trek but you’re an even greater hero now! Thanks for standing up for the good guys!
Correction… support any institution or nonprofit that comes under attack by the White House AND DOES *NOT* CAPITULATE TO THEM.
But also make sure they know they're supported so they have the courage to stand up!
Good point. Yes.
Imagine if leon pours a slice of his wealth into institutions that save mankind, I might sell a kidney to afford his car just to patronize him.
Harvard has enough money to defend itself.
Have had a few conversations with some local area college teachers about this.
💯💯💯💯💯🩷
It was obvious this would happen, and equally obvious Columbia’s alumni will close their wallets.
Predicting they'll help themselves to government vouchers (and still most students won't want them).
Now, if we could only get people to donate like this to causes like homelessness and hunger. The only reason I won’t send Harvard money is because I don’t support or donate to torture of animals under any circumstance. Someone mentioned PBS which I totally support 110%. Have for half a century.
I suspect the shortfall in donations to humanitarian causes is that you have predatory bastards parading poster children with cancer for marketing, then running off with the money. Like capitalist healthcare not being interested in actually ending cancer, fox charities not interested in ending need.
Breaking news: maga/gop vow to collect taxes from the wealthy 😀
Outside of the US many of us are left with no choice to find non US based alternatives for digital services etc, for security reasons, but where we can we will support US businesses, institutions and non profits under attack by the White House. The outside world can see what you are dealing with.
Which digital service are you using? I want to see if it's available here as well. Thanks
I just looked up a full list of European internet companies. Your point about security is valid and hopefully we can rectify that. Any ideas from marketing experts or advertising specialists who have knowledge of selling online to other countries, are appreciated.
I will support Harvard how little I have. Also I got a subscription to PBS. Everyone should.
PBS is great. I fully support them. I won’t give money to Harvard, but I wouldn’t have any anyway because I don’t support torturing animals.
I support everyone who puts country and constitution first. Fine print don’t matter anymore. We are in a constitutional crisis. I’m not even sure we recover.
Just for the record though Harvard has a gazillion dollars. Please donate instead to the UNCF (United Negro College Fund) or AICF (American Indian College Fund) because they're getting their funds from US government pulled because, not white.
Even though it "only" tens of billions, I get your point and support the listed suggestions. I understand if someone attended college to support them; but the smaller colleges don't have a chance if federal dollars are withheld. There are also law firms like Elias Law group that need $
Marc Elias has been called out by the don because he's been fighting for democracy and filing suits to uphold the Constitution. Democracydocket.com has cases listed by State.
He and his folks do a lot of good. Of course they're under attack 😥
If a president takes time to demonize you by name on TV, then obviously you're doing something to upset him. Could it be the multiple lawsuits every time a law is broken or the constitution ignored? Marc said that he felt proud to be mentioned. 😏
When COVID.gov turned into this Administration's breitbart channel, it is clear to the whole world that once again, among other FAFO evidences, that America cannot be trusted.
Big 10 is taking the initiative. This must be so difficult for many institutions, but very apparent that this administration means to hamper the elevation of education for those of modest means. Time, again, for #GoodTrouble #TurnBlue
