@ABC: House Speaker Mike Johnson is calling on Columbia University president, Minouche Shafik, to resign unless she can improve what he called her failure to handle the anti-Israel protests on campus.

If she'd had the cops shoot a hundred of the protesters and beat another hundred to death, Mike Johnson would still say it wasn't enough and had to be handled more brutally. Give those fascists an angstrom and they'll take a continent.
If you don’t support Israel as an American the government is gonna criminalize you. Take your job. Your speech, maybe even your life.
That’s the message?
Cuz that sounds like the message from congress.
Columbia & UT Austin should be a wakeup call for all left universities thinking of supporting bans on Palestine support. They are opening their wrists up to GOP and right wing cuts, because they are dividing the left.
Develop solid policies around peace and UN law. Stand firm and refuse fascism.
Any opening for the GOP to attack the underbelly of liberal and progressive institutions is going to be taken. It matters not if it supports their stated "moral code" because they have no morals.
Blanket support for Israel is an open wound to be exploited as it's antithetical to leftism: a catch-22.
