Harvard, Columbia and other higher education institutes are facing funding cuts over their policies, but reform may not be the administration’s goalIn 2018, a teaching hospital at Harvard took down 30 portraits of distinguished doctors and researchers affiliated with the hospital. The portraits reinforced a perception that “white men are in charge”, a professor of medicine told the Boston Globe, and were relegated to less prominent areas of the hospital.

The president is escalating the situation to justify greater force and repression. Now he’s talking about sending ‘troops everywhere’Donald Trump was on his way to Camp David for a meeting with military leaders on Sunday when he was asked by reporters about possibly invoking the Insurrection Act, allowing direct military involvement in civilian law enforcement.
