UC Berkeley shares 160 names with Trump administration in ‘McCarthy era’ move Prominent professor Judith Butler among students and faculty investigated for ‘alleged antisemitic incidents’

I'm absolutely horrified. My father and grandfather were both professors at UC Berkeley. I have a multi-generational connection to this school, which just turned 160 names over to Trump’s regime for thought crimes.

The stain on its hands will not be washed out.

You’d think after their cult leader tried to hang his own VP for not helping him steal an election, they’d be familiar with the notion of right on right crime.

Yet it befuddles them to this day.

Don’t lie to yourself, like, 'I’m, going, I’m studying sociology.' No, you're not. We know why you're here. And that’s okay, actually.

I believe there is growing evidence, that the White House is covering up the fact that Donald Trump has been dealing with TIA strokes.
AND that he likely had a more significant ischemic stroke this week.

Yesterday they destroyed food. Now it’s contraceptives. There is no end to the waste and cruelty.
