Columbia University announced Wednesday it has reached a deal with the Trump administration to pay more than $220 million to the federal government to restore federal research money that was canceled in the name of combating antisemitism on campus.
Under the agreement, the Ivy League school will pay a $200 million settlement over three years, the university said. It will also pay $21 million to resolve alleged civil rights violations against Jewish employees that occurred following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, the White House said.
Columbia has agreed to a series of demands laid out by the Republican administration, including overhauling the university’s student disciplinary process and applying a contentious, federally endorsed definition of antisemitism not only to teaching but to a disciplinary committee that has been investigating students critical of Israel.
The No Kings protest was the 3rd largest American protest in history:

It was close to 12 million people (3.5% of the population) across 2100 cities. (12 million is a conservative average of 5000 people showing up in each city, with obvious larger crowds at most)
What the fuck are YOU doing to fight fascism exactly? Watching it on TV and being disappointed Americans aren’t doing it better?
Why are you NOT in America fighting the fascism there yourself?
MAYBE you are just UNINFORMED on what Americans are doing, and staying that way so you can bitch on the internet we aren’t stopping fascism fast enough for you to not be scared by it.
Fascism made sure we’re too busy being jailed, becoming homeless, and dying from a lack of health insurance to fight it harder, but we still fight, certainly harder than your comfortable ass is.
Come fight fascism here yourself if you don’t think we’re doing it good enough for you. You’re not a coward right?
I didn’t vote for any of this, you did. Americans did. You let this happen for decades already, this is just the inevitable outcome.
I’d come if Americans were actually willing to do something and so far they’ve done nothing and ran all out of ideas. kings protest? Wow… cute… it’s nothing, it’s worthless. Had those protests not happened, NOTHING would be different today.
You want to protest and burn the country down into a revolution to get rid of this tyranny? Then fucking do so. You want to go all Gandhi and do peaceful protests all day every day, paralizing the country until tyranny is gone? Fine, do so
But do fucking something! A single protest doesn’t do shit. One could think you would have learned that since long ago but you obviously haven’t.
You want me to come and do your dirty work? Fuck off. Your movies are all day every day nothing else but heroic Americans making the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good but in reality most Americans are too fucking lazy and coward to come off their asses to do something as basic as joining in a protest.
Other countries know how to protest, other countries have heroic people willing to jump the barricades at risk of their own lives to better their country
Americans are lazy cowards
Nope. I didn’t. And most of America didn’t either. We have a fucked up and outdated 2 party election system that was compromised by a conman, capitalism, and the most wealthy person on the planet to win an election by minority vote.
If you want to blame a large group (all Americans) for the actions a few of them take (MAGA cultists), by all mean become the MAGA bigot you already sound like.
We are. I even sent you links. Just because you don’t want to look at what we’re doing doesn’t mean we aren’t doing it.
More importantly why in the fuck would you not want to help otherwise? You’re certainly acting like it’s your problem too, so why no action on your part aside from complaining?
If this was WW2 would you likewise not want to help the Jews stop fascism? You know, because you FEEL like they aren’t doing it hard enough?
JFC, I thought Democrats were cowards, but you easily take that torch.
Pull your head out of your ass where you’re hiding it in fear, and maybe you’ll be able to see what we’re doing. We just had the 3rd largest protest in our history. I sent you that link. And we’ve got another planned for August.
If that’s not enough, kindly go fuck yourself in the comfort of a country not controlled by Trump.
I have to live here. I see how we’re fighting. I see how we’re working together. You absolutley fucking don’t.
If this last 6 months has been too much for your pants to soak up, know we’ve already been dealing with this shit for years. Yet our pants are much cleaner than yours.
Because we ARE actually doing shit to slow this down. Not just bitch about it on the internet from the safety of another country like you. Our media is completely corporate controlled, so you’re only seeing half the picture. Most outside the US don’t know how big our protests are getting because of it. But at least they’re willing to look.
Fuck no. You clearly suck. You can’t take Trumps dick for 6 months even though you are 1000’s of miles away. Meanwhile we’ve been getting fucked by it for years.
I told you to come here because you said you weren’t a coward. Clearly, you very much are.
Because you want to blame Americans for not beating Fascism fast enough. If you want it beaten faster come here and do it. Otherwise stop complaining.
All you need to know:
We won’t hesitate to get violent. We just aren’t the angry pansies turning over cars to retire early you’re used to talking with. We’re too busy plotting and assassinaing CEO’s after they go too far.
Now 2 of them. And the second one was just by fucking LUCK.
This is unquestionably, just the start of more.
So sit the fuck down. And shut the fuck up. We’re the ones doing the dirty work for you. You’re the one complaining it’s not fast enough. I’m sorry hearing about the Orange Man is hurting you more than me living through it. Calm down, and grow up.
