Dump Term 2, Part 2: "A third term would be a big shattering."

Underreported trade news of the day is that Trump announced that the 15% tariffs on the EU would include pharmaceuticals that have thus far been exempt from tariffs If tariffs on pharma go up 15% this week it'd be a *massive* escalation of the trade war—the US imports $175B/yr of them from the EU

It should be noted Trump says pharma is exempt but the EU says otherwise.

I read somewhere that generic drugs were exempt, but brand names were not.
 
NYTimes is reporting Harvard is going to capitulate for a cool half a billion.

If they fold with their essentially unlimited funds, there's no one left to fight. No wonder the Dems constantly lose with liberal institutions like that.

Never thought I'd see the return of McCarthyism in my lifetime, but here we are. And given the GOP has no shame, that line isn't going to stop it this time.

My screed on eLynah responding to a Very Serious Person advocating we "have no choice" but follow Harvard's example. Day Hall is the administration building at Cornell:

Thank you, New York Times, but no.

They do have a choice. They are actively electing not to exercise it. It is policy, not a natural law.

A lot of people lost a lot of money opposing slavery. A lot of people lost a lot of money opposing segregation. The sensible argument by the comfortable center is always OH NOES! Don't directly oppose it; live to fight another day. So they trade other's rights for their comfort. That is how highly evil outcomes are always insulated within a democratic system. People themselves have the power of their convictions -- they go through hell to fight these thugs. But when you fold their will into institutions, those institutions' prime directive is self-preservation. Cornell wants to preserve Cornell. The world can burn if Day Hall survives.

If you don't stand for the marginalized, always, everywhere, then nobody is safe, ever, anywhere. 1860, 1940, 2020... apparently we have to relearn the lesson every 80 years that there is no compromising with these sociopathic fucks.

You either fight them now in the courts or later in your attic.

Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here. Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre? Trump: I think so. He stole her.

Why did they think this was a good idea?

Answering the question? No one knows.

He should be rotting in a jailcell but our country is too weak to hold anyone accountable except the poor and defenseless.

Nothing would please me more than for Cornell to end up the only ivy with dignity

As a college hockey fan, it ought to have been Ken Dryden.

I would love to believe Cornell upholds its tradition as The People's Ivy, but the rot has set in and the board are all finance scum. They'll fold. They are caught between Dump on one side and their own alumni demography on the other. Well-heeled alums from Great Neck and New Rochelle are not calling up the Provost demanding we respect Palestinian lives.

The only Ivies with a shred of dignity are Cornell, Columbia, and Penn. It's going to come down to West Philadelphia.
