I literally don't get it. The administration admitted he was deported in error and jow they're calling him an illegal alien and part of a gang without any proof, no criminal record or due process? This is only one case, there are and will be plenty more.

Honestly I must watch about half a dozen videos from the Meidas touch YouTube channel each day, I honestly can't understand how there are people that support this orange baboon and I mean like ordinary people and people with low paying jobs, it's like Trump could spit on their faces, kill their family and burn their homes and still they'd follow him to the end, sick fucking world we live in.

Farmers giving away eggs in Murica then lmao? Fucking orange idiot.
These retards think tariffs, weak dollar policy, and meager tax cuts for the upper middle class and more for the rich are going to somehow cut inflation, all the while undermining the Fed by demanding they lower rates. Every single fucking thing about their program is inflationary. This was never rocket science.

That Harvard story is completely legit.

The U.S. administration also sent a prying and politically demanding 36-question questionnaire to multiple universities in Portugal who have (or rather: make that "had") academic partnerships with the U.S.:

https://portugaldecoded.substack.com/p/universities-slam-us-ideological

The questionnaire, issued under the Trump administration, included questions on climate agendas, affiliations with communist or socialist parties, and ties to countries like China, Iran, and Russia.

Rogério Colaço, the President of Lisbon’s Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), one of Portugal leading technology and engineering schools, said the questionnaire was “entirely inappropriate.”

IST refused to answer the questionnaire, citing its status as a public institution under EU law.

The University of Lisbon's Faculty of Arts (FLUL) also confirmed receiving the same questionnaire and likewise declined to respond, calling the questions intrusive and politically motivated.
Here are the 36 questions in detail:

Here are the questions that the U.S. Government sent to Portuguese universities:
  1. Does your organization currently have a risk management structure or policy?
  2. Can you confirm that your agency has not collaborated with, faced any accusations, or been investigated for collaboration with entities on terrorism lists, cartels, drug/human traffickers, or organizations/groups promoting mass migration in the last 10 years?
  3. Does your organization conduct regular anti-terrorism checks on its employees and beneficiaries?
  4. Does the project encourage partners to adopt policies and take actions that respect your national sovereignty and culture, strengthen patriotic values, and reduce dependence on external institutions?
  5. Does the organization encourage freedom of expression, open debate, and information sharing?
  6. Does the organization have a clear policy prohibiting any collaboration, funding, or support for entities that advocate or implement policies contrary to U.S. government interests, national security, and sovereignty?
  7. Is your organization compliant with the latest Mexico City Policy?
  8. Does your organization have an approach for transitioning projects without foreign assistance?
  9. Does this project clearly demonstrate cost-effectiveness and actively take measures to mitigate waste, fraud, or abuse?
9.5. What are the project’s indirect costs (overhead costs associated with project management and operations) as an approximate percentage? (Enter a number)

  1. Does your organization have an anti-trafficking policy?
  2. Can you confirm that your organization does not work with entities associated with communist, socialist, or totalitarian parties, or any party that expresses anti-American beliefs?
  3. Does this project strengthen U.S. sovereignty by limiting dependence on international organizations or global governance structures (e.g., UN, WHO)?
  4. Can you confirm that your organization has received NO funding from the PRC [People’s Republic of China] (including Confucius Institutes and/or partnerships with Chinese state or non-state actors), Russia, Cuba, or Iran?
13A: If you answered ‘yes’ to question 13, describe. If ‘no,’ how does the organization investigate the parent company of potential funding sources to ensure no funding comes from these entities?

  1. Does this project directly contribute to limiting illegal immigration or strengthening U.S. border security?
14A: If you answered affirmatively to question 14, describe.

  1. Can you confirm that this is not a DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion] project and/or whether there are DEI elements in the project?
  2. Can you confirm that this is not a climate or "environmental justice" project or that it includes such elements?
  3. Does this project support U.S. energy independence or reduce global dependence on hostile countries for energy resources?
  4. Does this project support life-saving assistance?
  5. Does this project take appropriate measures to protect women and defend against gender ideology, as defined in the Executive Order below?
  6. Does this project take adequate measures to protect children?
  7. Does this project include cost-sharing, private investment, or co-financing?
  8. Does this project generate measurable benefits for U.S. industries, workforce, or domestic economic sectors?
22A: If you answered ‘yes’ to question 22, briefly explain.

  1. Does this project have a sustainability plan for fully transitioning away from foreign assistance within the next five years?
23A: If you answered ‘yes’ to question 23, briefly explain.

  1. Does this project fulfill a national security need that cannot be addressed without this entity?
24A: If you answered affirmatively, briefly explain. (Responses may be provided to the higher-level RMO point of contact if necessary.)

  1. To what extent does this project have a direct impact on efforts to counter harmful influences, including from China?
  2. What impact does this project have on preventing illegal immigration to the U.S.?
  3. What impact does this project have on limiting the flow of fentanyl, synthetic drugs, and precursor chemicals into the U.S.?
  4. To what extent does this project directly impact U.S. health security regarding biothreats, pandemics, and foreign dependence on medical supplies?
  5. To what extent does this project strengthen partner and ally contributions to U.S. security by helping secure U.S. borders, protect American sovereignty, and defend national security?
  6. Does this project have a direct impact on transnational organized crime, cybercrime, and drug/human trafficking to protect American lives and national security?
  7. What impact does this project have on protecting religious minorities, promoting religious freedom, and combating the persecution of Christians?
  8. What impact does this project have on increasing American influence, trust, and reputation among foreign governments?
  9. What impact does this project have on increasing American influence, trust, and reputation among foreign publics?
  10. What is the specific financial return of this project, including measurable dividends, cost-benefit analysis, and economic impact?
  11. How much does this project generate through cost-sharing/burden-sharing?
  12. Does this project have a direct impact on efforts to strengthen U.S. supply chains or secure rare earth minerals?
I'm sure Harvard got something similar.

This is what a modern day Nazi looks like.

Just making it clear for everyone in case they didn’t see it.
Not sure if that photo is authentic, but he apparently was literally a Nazi (@U Picciriddu do I have permission?)

Also strange that despite he used her stepmom’s service gun, she was only received an administrative leave. I rarely say this, but imagine if she was black.

They sent the questionnaire to all European universities it seems, Belgian ones too.

On another note: some European professors and academics who work for American universities are now starting to decide to no longer go to the US.

I work for a medical journal and a Harvard group and at the last minute they revised their authorship to remove all who could lose their visas. They were so frightened about their article and wanted to retract it, but we convinced them to keep it out there. Its a short article about the negative effects of Trump on US health care. I'm a scientist and it was so sad to see this from a world-class university, the main author says she'll not bring foreign students in because having to send them back abruptly would be terrible. She also considers moving out of academia, which is a great loss for the scientific community.

I think it will affect the rankings of US universities gradually.

Here’s the thing: student status does not end with revoking visa. Those students won’t be able to work, and if they leave US they need to apply for visa again, but ICE cannot expel them or terminate their study. Those schools which got ahead of ICE completely fell into the fascist trap.
