Move the setting from D.C. to Leopoldstadt, replace "migrants and refugees" with Jews and communists, and EVERYTHING about this reads like a cribbed passage from Mein Kampf.

History will not look kindly on either the current Democratic leadership or university administrators. The word is "appeasement." Just say it.

Lesson learned. The mild suggestion that Trump's anti-DEI edicts are an excuse for liberal arts colleges and universities to hire more mediocre white men DOES NOT go down well with the mediocre white men on X!!! 😀

The Pinsker Centre is HORRIFIED that a small group of students occupied a building - and were quickly removed - while 100% of universities in Gaza have been destroyed by bombs that Oxford supports with its investments. Save your outrage for Oxford and the IDF and GET SOME MORAL PERSPECTIVE!!!

Late to blue sky and finding I just don’t have the energy for this any more. Could someone just export my completely useless 6,000 followers from X for me? I’m too old and not entrepreneurial enough to be a proper intellectual in 2025…..!!!
