University of Virginia President Resigns Under Pressure From Trump Administration
Another red line crossed today, this time at UVA
From an alum: “It would be a symbolic surrender of the university’s autonomy & commitment to free inquiry that, if allowed to stand...would send a chilling message: that public universities in Virginia serve political agendas, not the commonwealth.”

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

Costco, b&j og elf eru þau bandarísku fyrirtæki sem starfa hér á landi og hafa lýst yfir að þau hafi ekki bara verið í samfélagsábyrgðarþvotti undanfarin àr heldur meini það að fjölbreytileiki skipti màli. Ég mun versla við þau.
