Harvard is fighting against Trump: The institutional resistance is finally rising – and sets a new model
The news was fixed, frustrated, from the recent collusion tales. Every day, it appears that another prominent law company, Ivy League or the main media outlet bend the knee to Donald Trump, and trades compliance with the fascist business schedule in the hope of obtaining the madness of the king on his back. ABC News surrendered early, as it will settle Trump by settling to use the word “rape” to describe his attack on E. Jean Carroll, although the judge in the civil trial had stipulated that “Mr. Trump” was raped by “a lot of people understood the word” rape “. Pillar and truck from some large companies of companies is so compassionate that it sometimes becomes comedy.
NYMAG: Warner Bros. Representative. “Recently, with Trump’s orbit, who is looking for advice on how the company interacted useful with the White House … the message was reported … may be admired without Junior, a hunting and hunting offer on the discovery channel ..” nymag.com nymag.com/inteigence …

However, it may be the most worrying thing to be the recovery policy for university departments-especially in Colombia, where officials have agreed to a series of anti-study policies after Trump threatening $ 400 million in federal financing. Using a prestigious deceptive pretext from “anti -Semitism”, the school moved to Trump’s demands to silence the protests on the campus with the threats of student discipline and even arrest. Trump’s choice of the safety of their students sparked general anger, but he felt that he was unable, as if this cheese would be the standard for all elite schools in the second period of Trump.
On Monday, the Earth turned when Harvard University went in another direction.
“The university will not give in its independence or abandon its constitutional rights,” the President of Harvard University, Alan Garper, announced in a public letter. Garbar skillfully mocked the idea that “the reforms” that Trump requests have to do with Jack with the word “anti -Semitism”, which shows that Trump’s threats that revolve around the gradual thought of thought, forcing the school to employ Maga Hakz as a professor and make life very infernal for students, will work to distort the school brand permanently. Garper also indicated that the White House wants to “review” the views of our student body “and ban students who have political opinions that Trump does not like.

Harvard gift is great enough to overcome federal financing. However, this is an important step that can help tighten the backbone in other schools. actually, Leadership at Stanford University has started In support, with a similar pledge to tell Trump to raise his authoritarian demand. In Yale, 876 faculty members signed a letter that supports Harvard’s actions. Several universities of other Ivy League joined a group of public schools to present A lawsuit against Trump’s financing discounts on Monday. After Harvard’s public position, even the interim president of Colombia He issued a statement The school’s saying no longer agrees to some “excessive mandatory” demands of the Trump administration.
In response, former President Barack Obama said: “Harvard University has provided an example of other higher institutions,” said former President Barack Obama in response. “Let’s hope that other institutions will follow.”
There is no need to worry about satirical readers that I am asking them to distribute medals for the courage of university directors. It is more likely that the Harvard University leadership has realized what Colombia should have known all the time: collusion will not save you. like Rose Horwitch wrote in the Atlantic Monday“Colombia still did not get $ 400 million. On the contrary, the Trump administration appears to have taken surrender as permission to provide more demands.” Colombia officials believed that they were buying peace. Instead, and The White House is paid to create federal censorship From Colombia so that Maga loyalists can have a granular salad on the daily operations of the school.
Colombia officials believed that they were buying peace. Instead, the White House is pushing to create a federal supervision of Colombia so Maga loyalists can obtain a granular salad on school daily operations.
This should have been clear to anyone who dealt with the school fatwa. If you give you your lunch money the first time, guess what? It will wait now every day. The only way to break the course is to reject cooperation; The better. Trump is less sophisticated than the fatwa in the sixth style. As Grifter for life, he can only continue to return to a successful capture site, and will drain a dry victim, as long as they continue to comply.
Harvard seems to understand that no Trump did not “cost” two billion dollars. Since Colombia learns in the difficult way, he always found an excuse to block money. You may not give up your dignity with her. Compliance, however, was an approval of What Professor Stanford Adrian Dawoub calls “Demolished controlled, with every request to hit another column of academic freedom.” He notes that the demands were so strange that the presentation of “it was useful in a destructive and completely practical way.” In the end, they may save money, along with their reputation.
I think there is a major reason that many companies, schools and other institutions that play with Trump are that their leaders persuaded themselves the time in power. Legally, he cannot run for the office again. Physically, 78 years old. His cognitive function, which has always been terrible, clearly decreases. Hope is that every Trump talk about the “third period” is not specified and that he does not have energy, legal strategy, or the Republican Party’s support for installing other attempts.
However, the past two weeks should spoil anyone in the hope that they can wait for aging or law to stop Trump. On Monday, Trump and his employees abundantly explained that they intend to reject the Supreme Court ruling that they could not imprison the innocent illegally in the detention camp in El Salvador. Trump has even begun to float the idea of assembling American citizens as well. This is frightening on his face, but it should also be understood that Trump puts the basis for staying in the office illegally. Whatever the strategy he chooses in 2028-running illegally, stealing elections or simply declaring himself the main life-his goal is to make the Supreme Court completely impotent before that.
Betting on the fluctuations of life is also unknown. Trump was always painfully stupid-remember that he suggested that bleaching injection could treat Covid-19? – But he did not harm him a little in the half of the country, which still believes that white miles are more important than intelligence. Even the dramatic cognitive decrease is unlikely to change. We already see this in the reaction to the Trump tariff. Trump does not understand how the customs tariff works, and it does not have a coherent idea of why it was imposed on it outside the pickled hostility towards other countries, and changes his opinion about it by minute. None of this madness has hesitated that his employees or right -wing media hesitated for a moment to maintain spinning, claiming that the glowing tactics Trump is a secret genius plan to make everyone rich. Even if Trump is running his saliva on his shirt, he wanders in diapers and screams at the reporters about how he was intimidated by fictional chicken, the official Maga line will remain as it is: “Only people who suffer from” Trump’s syndrome “believes that there is something wrong in the perfect brain for the president.”
No, as much as it may be, the only reasonable option is to fight. Trump and his allies will take something fascist as possible, as quickly as possible. Surrender means only to be the first nutrition in meat mill. Resistance may not guarantee victory or safety, but at least gives the country a chance of fighting. In addition, the more institutions, companies, and even ordinary citizens, the more Trump slows down. Each obstacle was placed in front of it that makes it likely to run out or finally exhaust its support. It will take longer than any of us hopes, but better than lying down and allowing the worst occurrence.
