Trump targets hundreds of University of California faculty over opposition to Gaza genocide

In a chilling development, the Trump administration has unleashed a full-scale witch hunt targeting nearly 900 faculty members within the University of California system. Their “crime” is signing open letters on the Israeli assault on Gaza and calling for the protection of Jewish and Palestinian students alike.

No ML to call him genocide Trump? Guess they don’t care at all. Must have been all talk to get Trump elected.
- I for one find “Genocide Don” quite catchy. The problem with this label is that the man himself and most of his supporters will likely just shrug it off as if it weren't worth denying; it would be like calling a paid assassin a “murderer”.

Israel is more important than your constitutional rights.

In clear violation of the 1st amendment.
- Well uhm uh er ackyshually the first specifies that CONGRESS can't make any laws against free speech, but trump is not congress, so uh uh chechkmate libtard!!!!11!
- When have Republicans ever let the constitution stop them?
