There are few voices out there standing up to Trump, who is hellbent on being king of the world. He believes everything he does is the best. I hate to break it to him, but he doesn’t have a bone of empathy in his body or a sense of style and his decisions are going to create havoc on our economy. Everything he touches has turned to shit, so why are so many universities, lawyers and business people caving to him?
Columbia University should be ashamed of itself. The lawyers who understand the law seem happy to continue to line their pockets and agree with whatever Trump does, and stopping DEI at countless companies is the key to success, so why are they caving too? Are we all just sheep?
There are a few voices out there, and I applaud every one of them when they speak up. Kristy Edmunds, the Director of MASS MoCa, pointed out the grants that were given to MoCa were awarded in November 2024, prior to Trump becoming President (ugh). The letter sent to them is absolutely authoritarian. The letter emphasizes that funding “is no longer consistent with agency priorities and no longer serves the interest of the United States”. Think about that. Art and community no longer serves the interest of the US?
Where is all this money now going? To the military? Towards taking immigrants out of this country who have come here for a better life, and that means paying taxes and raising a next generation of Americans, what exactly is happening in our country? Are we all going to have to wait for the midterms when the Republicans might (might is the important word here) to realize that they are going to lose their seats? At what point do we go from being sheep into becoming independent thinkers who fight back for our country?
At what point is there backlash? The Democrats who kept Biden in power are no better. Do we wait for the midterm elections and hope? Hope is never an answer, but it appears that is all we got.
