U.S. Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) recently celebrated Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s decision to reject a deal from the Trump administration, leading to a public dispute with Stephen Miller.
Trump adviser Stephen Miller chimed in on that post, writing, “MIT is a federally funded and financed institution. The US government asked MIT, as one of America’s largest recipients of taxpayer dollars, to certify that students and professors will be hired based on objective merit and not skin color.”
“Undergrad tuition is privately funded at MIT with a few exceptions like Pell grants which apply to all colleges,” Massie wrote. “I trust MIT more than any party at the White House to know which 18 yr olds can solve differential equations. Also, Feds policing speech on campuses is Orwellian.”
That tiredness is deliberate. The administration wants us to be exhausted all the time.
I am.
me too
Same. Want to all get together and work out some solution on how to stop feeling exhausted and start feeling awake?
Some kind of gathering to make sure people “woke up”.
I’m going to try to make friends on No Kings day this coming saturday
and I’m always down to discuss things here. I feel like we’re told that we have to have an opinion about everything… that’s exhausting. I’m trying to protect myself by NOT doing that. Lots of rubbish in the news. I don’t want to get angry about new material if I can help it. What’s your strategy
I’ll be at no kings for sure. Idk beyond that. I might try to put a group of friends together to show up at city and county council meetings and try to put pressure on them to address all the bullshit going on.
