#Drumpf shakedown of #UCLA over alleged "Anti-Semitism" on campus sees #USGov freeze over $500 million in federal funding for imperiled research programs and #DOJ demands school pay a #Billion dollars baksheesh as "#reparations".

#Federal officials demand a third party oversight official installed to insure #compliance that #SouthernCalifornia school will no longer viollate #TitleVII of the #CivilRightsAct, prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

Last month Attorney General #PamBondi announced she would "force UCLA to pay a heavy price for putting Jewish Americans at risk"

#California #GovNewsom.and #UCregents apparently not amused and will continue negotiating against paying a $1 billion #edu settlement to #DrumpfAdmin

Je vous recommande vivement cette excellente présentation de #BunkerD, au #REC2022, au sujet de la #nonviolence de #MartinLutherKingJr et de ses positions sur les #quotas (#affirmativeaction), les #réparations pour les descendants d' #esclaves et victimes de l' #apartheid . Ça démonte pas mal de mythes agités par ceux qui prétendent que l' #antiracisme actuel dessert sa cause par un trop grande #radicalisme dans ses modes de #militantisme .

Does MAGA realize they're allowing #trump to set a precedent that'll bite those who hate "minorities", trans ppl, gays and women in the future? 🫤 Imagine a Dem or Independent president slashing funding to certain colleges to push his agenda. What's to stop them for doing exactly this? 🤷🏿‍♀️ What happens when a Dem president says they'll cut off ALL funding until they pay cash #reparations to local Black American descendants of slαv∈ry whose ancestors built and funded their universities?🤷🏿‍♀️ #politics

Historic ruling finds climate change ‘imperils all forms of life’ and puts laggard nations on notice

"Climate change “imperils all forms of life” and countries must tackle the problem or face consequences under international law, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has found."

"It will set a new baseline in terms what countries need to do to address climate change and opens up new avenues of recourse against high-emitting states not doing enough on climate change."
