NEW YORK (AP) — "The Trump administration brushed aside decades of precedent when it ordered Columbia University to oust the leadership of an academic department, a demand seen as a direct attack on academic freedom and a warning of what’s to come for other colleges facing federal scrutiny.
"Federal officials told the university it must immediately place its #MiddleEasternStudies, #SouthAsianStudies, and #AfricanStudies Department under 'academic receivership for a minimum of five years.' The demand was among several described as conditions for receiving federal funding, including $400 million already pulled over allegations of #antisemitism.
"Across #academia, it was seen as a stunning intrusion.
"'It’s an escalation of a kind that is unheard of,' said Joan Scott, a historian and member of the academic freedom committee of the American Association of University Professors [#AAUP]. 'Even during the #McCarthy period in the United States, this was not done.'"

The #McCarthy - #Era will be a "Walk in the Park" against these #brainwashed #Trump-#Zombies, cleaning the #Authorities from #Adversaries. This weakens by the Way the Security in every thinkable Form and strengthens the Will for #Whistleblowers
and #Sabotage from within. You can't find so many Trump loyal People, to control such big #Entities like #FBI, #NSA and #CIA. They rip them apart, but this will cause a lot of #Trouble. Does anyone respect #PamBondi ? It's a #Joke.

MA congressperson Jim McGovern condemns the execution of Ethel Rosenberg at the height of the #McCarthy era on the floor of Congress. "Let me repeat that: this government, the United States Government, knew way back then that she was innocent and executed her anyway". https://www.rfc.org/blog/2025-02/rep-jim-mcgovern-issues-ethel-rosenberg-apology-house-floor

If only it were so simple.
In any country, especially those with #authoritarian leaders, having your personal thoughts & beliefs, perhaps sympathy #Palestinian children caught up in a war they were simply born into, might damage ones ability to even work or move around freely. I don't believe that is the case in the #USA today but it was in the 1950's during the #McCarthy era. McCarthy mentored #RoyCohn, Cohn mentored #Trump. People should be concerned everywhere.
The greatest legacy of the #BlackPanther Party is free #school lunches.
If you grew up poor and got free #lunch at school, you can thank the #BlackPanthers for that.

Agreed but we still cannot go quietly into the night.
#McCarthy was almost never successfully opposed until the "...have you no decency?!?!" retort. The records of all of the hearing now serve as educational cautionary tales for those who take the time to study and the documented #resistance is part of that #history .
Why bring up McCarthy? He mentored #RoyCohn who mentored #Trump.
Nothing new under the sun.

I miss #McCarthy. I wish more current indiepop bands ripped off their politics and not just their jangle.
