Today #NIH is terminating more than $250 million in funding—including more than 400 grants—to Columbia University following directives from the Trump Administration’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism. The cancellations are due to Columbia University’s continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students.
Starting now, the right wing and some of their Democrat establishment enablers will defame Palestinian American Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil as he remains missing after a White House directed ICE deportation order. A "dangerous" negotiator co leading a non violent protest. A permanent resident with a wife who is 8 months pregnant. Without any trial. If we don't all work to reverse this and end this, you're eventually next. No matter who you are.
NEW: Columbia has begun notifying faculty of cancelled grants. From an internal source there: “Grant cancellation notices flowing in now. Labs shutting down. Layoffs imminent. Faculty apoplectic at Katrina Armstrong for letting it get to this point. She has to fix this fast.”
As a Jew I personally will feel a lot safer walking across the Columbia campus knowing that there are fewer graduate students toiling away in labs to cure cancer and drug addiction.
NEWS: Last night, DHS detained a Palestinian who helped lead Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.zeteo.com/p/breaking-dhs…
