    They had a choice between filing a lawsuit and capitulating if they lose, or bowing down to king Trump.

    They chose the latter.

      At first, I wrote a reply asking what tangible good a lawsuit would do. I wrote that Trump would ignore any ruling that was in Columbia’s favor.

      I deleted it ten minutes later. No, a lawsuit may not do any tangible good, but I was missing the point. RESISTING is the point. Protecting academic freedom and freedom of speech is the point. Fighting fascism is the point.

      Fuck Columbia. I hope they carry this shame for the rest of their existence.
