You had a chance to fix your garbage institution. You didn’t take it. Now we’re going to fix it for you and it’s going to hurt. https://t.co/qUgDV0pLt8

The above tweet only scratches the surface. Watch these:
All the usual bullshit about Trump being an authoritarian for threatening to boot out a third of Harvard's student population—all foreigners—for illegally inciting riots on American soil while they're here on mere student visas. Sure, this is the equivalent of rounding Jews up on trains and sending them to camps! But if there are any similarities to Nazis here, it's on the level of pro-Hamas antisemitism from these stupid kids. How does it feel to be a Jew on campus, constantly under threat, unable to walk across campus without being harassed, and getting no support from the campus's higher-ups? This is Harvard? Now, if I were an intemperate god-emperor, these keffiyeh-wearing, moronically self-identifying demonstrators would all be rounded up, wrapped with metal cables, gently and publicly electrocuted for several hours, then given the flamethrower treatment to end their misery. Hey, they think we're Nazis, so let's prove them right! Good thing I'm not god-emperor.
ADDENDUM, 5/24: a judge issues an injunction again the Trump administration. Of course.
A federal judge on Friday issued an injunction to block a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) directive that revoked Harvard University’s ability to enroll foreign students.
“With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard’s student body, international students who contribute significantly to the University and its mission,” lawyers for Harvard said in the lawsuit.
On Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ordered Harvard to be removed from the Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification, noting that this means that a number of foreign-born Harvard students must transfer to another U.S. college.
Harvard enrolls almost 6,800 foreign students at its campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Most are graduate students, and they come from more than 100 countries.
Harvard’s international enrollment stems from an April 16 request from Noem, who said that Harvard must provide information about foreign students that might implicate them in violence or protests that could lead to their deportation.
Noem said Harvard can regain its ability to host foreign students if it produces a trove of records on foreign students within 72 hours. Her updated request demands all records, including audio or video footage, of foreign students participating in protests or dangerous activity on campus.
Harvard’s lawsuit is asking a federal judge to immediately block the order by Noem targeting its enrollment practices. It names U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Noem, the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Department of State, and others as defendants.
“It is the latest act by the government in clear retaliation for Harvard exercising its First Amendment rights to reject the government’s demands to control Harvard’s governance, curriculum, and the ‘ideology’ of its faculty and students,” Harvard’s lawyers stated.
It's unconstitutional to fight our antisemitism!
I wonder how things have progressed since May 24.
