Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

I saw Harvard is now free if your family makes under 200k a year.

Sadly, they don’t admit anyone who fits that.

Under 200k you don’t pay tuition. But are on the hook for your dorm💁🏾
You need to be under 120k or something to have Harvard cover r&b too

Think that’s what mookie was reading🤔

Ahhh, so the only thing Donnie's doing is grabbing media attention.

Other than that, no worries, everything's fine.

Like I said, head in sand. See no evil, hear no evil. Counting on luck and his position in life to escape the consequences of a lawless regime.

You can't make a man seek a fight when he's comfortable. The only thing you can do is hope something happens that suddenly makes him very uncomfortable.

My take on the last two months? I'd say it's been pretty much like everyone anticipated. Every morning Donald Trump gets out of bed with one purpose and one purpose only -- to make himself the primary focus of all media and social media in this country, if not the world. It's a variation on the old saw that there is no such thing as bad publicity.

I'm not going to judge the hysteria level of posters here in Cafe. I think everyone knows my opinion that the public, including people who post here, tend to overreact to things, so we'll leave it at that.

I will tell you this. In February I went on a two week vacation and had virtually no social media contact at all, including here. When I got back, I started scrolling through Cafe and my reaction was basically, "Woof!!" I think when you are around something all the time, you sort of lose perspective on what it is like. But take two weeks away, and I realized how dark it really is here. It's like going to a social gathering and discovering that they are playing Alone and Forsaken on a perpetual loop on the stereo.

I get it. People are anxious. They are afraid. They are confused. But social media is not helping you. It is exacerbating your anxiety and fear and confusion.

Get out in the real world. Friends, neighbors and family are helping one another. People are getting up and going to work and keeping the world on track.

2016-2020 passed. This, too, shall pass.

Typical. Accuse everyone here of being hysterical shut-ins, and again didn't have an ounce of courage to address any of the policy changes made by Trump including those that have been far more harmful than not.

Oh and I just had a 3-week vacation and hardly interacted here at all. It didn't change the perception you're a gutless weasel.

At the risk of being contrarian, my coworker’s oldest daughter is going to Harvard. He came here as a Somali refugee and is a citizen now. He worked manual labor jobs while getting his BS from Metro State.

In short, he and his family are the very type of people that President ^ wants to denaturalize.

Jesus, I know there are some, but I also know they cater to legacies and donors.

I guess I have to spell the word sarcasm out in capital letters here

I want so much going after what you said, it was more an opening or vehicle, to take yet another shot at the absurdity of the current regime.
 
We're defying Court orders and Israel is bombing Gaza again.

This time please just ethnic cleanse them off the face of the Earth. Maybe then the Earth will LEARN.

I mean, I’ll be honest Hovey, I really thought you were smart enough to recognize the difference between 2016-2020 and now. I really did. Maybe not a mea culpa, because god forbid you have to admit you’re wrong, but even within using your condescending style that would make my mother blush, I figured you would be capable of saying “This is worse than I expected.” The fact you don’t even think it’s worse…

First, and as you surely know, I have admitted to being wrong before. Five years ago, almost to the day, someone asked me to hazard a guess as to how many people might die from Covid in this country, and I guessed a number that turned out to be absurdly low. I have admitted, on multiple occasions, that I was wrong about that.

Second, you seem offended that I won't say "this is worse than I expected." That's because it isn't worse than I expected. I had very, very low expectations for this administration, and it hasn't disappointed in that regard. I expected it to be bad.

Again, let's recall. Donald Trump ran for election on three different occasions, and not once did I vote for him. I suffered from no illusions as to what a Trump presidency would look like again.
 
You're being awful coy. Did you vote for Harris?

Because if you didn't, then you absolutely did not expect it to be this bad. We are *this* close to a total breakdown in the constituent order and rule of law. We're deporting legal residents of this country with no due process and the admin is ignoring court order after court order. Not creatively, not with precedent, but outright ignoring court orders and judges orders.

Because if you did indeed think that a total destruction of every agency would happen, that Trump would install Russian assets in intelligence leaderships, and the judiciary would be ignored, you'd have voted for Harris.
 
A doctor and professor at Brown University’s medical school has been deported from the U.S., even though she had a valid visa and a court order temporarily blocking her expulsion, according to her lawyer and court papers. She was detained after visiting relatives in Lebanon, her home country.

“She is one of three transplant nephrologists in the entire state of Rhode Island, which, you know, also serves the parts of Massachusetts and Connecticut,” said Dr. Susie Hu. “Her absence is really detrimental to our program.”
Dr. Douglas Shemin, who said he hired Alawieh at Brown Medicine, called her an “outstanding” clinician, physician and teacher who eagerly put in long hours without complaining.
Brown Medicine has roughly 300 to 400 patients awaiting kidney transplants, according to Shemin. Each needs regular evaluations.

Homeland Security says Brown University professor deported to Lebanon with US visa supported Hezbollah leader

BOSTON — Homeland Security officials on Monday said that a doctor from Lebanon who was deported over the weekend despite having a U.S. visa “openly admitted” to supporting a Hezbollah

The department's statement, posted on social media, provides a possible explanation for Dr. Rasha Alawieh's deportation, which has sparked widespread alarm, especially after a federal judge ordered that she not be removed until a hearing could be held. Government lawyers have said customs officials did not get word until after Alawieh was sent back to Lebanon.
“A visa is a privilege not a right — glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be denied. This is commonsense security,” Homeland Security said in its statement.

Freedom of speech is dead. Watch what you say and who you say it to. Especially if you're not a white man like I am.
 
The Department of Health and Human Services has purged thousands of scientists and public health leaders since the beginning of the second Trump administration. It has also slashed research grants across the country, and industry experts warn these moves could hollow out research institutes that rely on these funds for maintenance and daily operations.


If the United States doesn’t intend to restore these positions and funds, France, Glucksmann said, would gladly absorb the United States’ research sector.

I voted for Harris. I think I posted that on here on multiple occasions.
