Only fascists have a problem with activism. Hopefully Harvard not only has resources to stay afloat without the Government, but they also have the resources to fight back. Education is the greatest enemy of fascism, that's why they're so desperate to control it.

Education standards cannot change according to whomever is in power every four years. Harvard and other universities were here before Trump and will be here long after him.
I am so delighted you don't expend your energy fighting pointless insignificant minions here who's sole aim is to consume ones time with their irrelevancy.

It gives you the energy to notice the more important battles and fight them instead, and gives me hope these maga times will pass and fail.

I just wish others would learn from you and focus on what's important instead of losing time to maga.

Yes it is. Since the 1800s.

We are tired of typing RIP. Are the Northerners not tired of killing themselves?
I am getting tired of the ignorant that lump all people in the North into one single tribe or group of people. Thankfully, they are a few, since most know there is a war between Hausas and Fulanis, and between farmers and cattle herders.

For perspective. The people in Ifon and Ilobu in Osun State are killing each other over territory. They are the same Yoruba tribe, and depending who's history one accepts, blood relatives. The equivalent in Lagos State would be indigenes of Maryland fighting those in Ojota.

“If you’re a company that can donate money to Donald Trump, if you’re a company that can afford the big lobbyists, you don’t have tariffs applied to you,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) said. “More evidence that the tariffs have nothing to do with rebuilding American jobs.”

Apple CEO Tim Cook and his predecessor, Steve Jobs, have said for at least 14 years that the United States lacks the know-how, employment skills and component supply chain robustness needed to manufacture the more than 200 million iPhones sold each year worldwide.

“There is a better chance of me playing in the Masters this weekend [than] Apple making iPhones in the U.S. the next few years; the math and complexity makes it impossible,” said Dan Ives, a technology stock analyst with Wedbush Securities.

Guess who truly cares
Not in UK we wouldn't. We may care for chickens, but we definitely care for people a lot more. And that's why you wouldn't die of starvation here.

But if you don't believe me, come over and see for yourself instead of making false claims you have no evidence whatsoever for.

They have many organisations funded by the government and fully backed by the Queen now King and set up to prevent cruelty to animals including :-

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA)

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB)

If your ever vigilant neighbours see you dey abuse your pets, they will shop you to the police and you may end up in prison.

For UK some years ago, e get one football fan wey dey watch his team lose and in anger he pulled off the head of his pet bird. Na hin own Mama report am to police and he ended up in prison.

No be for Naija wey some people dey eat cats and because cats no dey quick die, the method of killing them is inhumane to say the least.
Actually, those organisations are funded by the citizens of the country who donate to them.

But if I set up a similar organisation to save the children in Nigeria, I bet most would ask if na me born dem.

14 years of Tory rule, and nothing done about grooming gangs.

Sir Keir said Labour was addressing child sexual abuse after Conservative inaction "for 14 long years".

"We have seen this playbook many times - whipping up of intimidation and of threats of violence, hoping that the media will amplify it," Sir Keir said.

"Those who are spreading lies and misinformation as far and as wide as possible are not interested in victims, they're interested in themselves," he added.

I don't know why you are capping for them. That's the wokest police department in the country.
I am not capping for anyone, I'm just pointing out your uninformed hypocrisy.

Police in UK is known to be racist, and that's why ethnic minorities don't join the police, and that's why the police are now doing what they can to address it, though what you are claiming is not it because that would be illegal.

We want our police to be woke. The alternative is they be KKK, which we definitely do not want.

Historically in policing, we have not fully represented the communities that we serve. We have only had around one-third of the number of BAME officers we would need to be representative of our communities. Colleagues have said to me, ‘Well why don’t they just join then?’, which ignores the disadvantages that many BAME candidates endure throughout their life – for example, socioeconomic issues, such as poverty and racism – as well as unconscious bias and a lack of role models in policing.

Most officers might not know that, compared with their White British counterparts, BAME candidates often have a lower chance of passing the National Police SEARCH Recruit Assessment Centre (College of Policing, 2019). There are lots of reasons for this disproportionality, and the College and police forces are working hard to overcome this.

Brits react:

After backpacker Rebecca Burke was arrested and locked up for nearly three weeks by US immigration ­officials, she started urging people not to travel to America.

Britons seem to have listened: the number of UK residents visiting the US was down 14.3% in March compared with the same month in 2024, official figures show.

IMF gave them the loan because what they are doing is working.
