Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I got a BETTER idea: remove tax exempt status from every church
BETTER yet get rid of tax exemption.
Amen
since harvard is the source of many lawyers that is a pipeline to political positions
I would be open to forcing them to disclose all of their investments and the ownership of all their board members to determine this in court..
Aren't they a for profit institution?
No.
Have you seen the portfolio of their investment and the investment of their Board?
There's a reason they attacked folks protesting the genocide, and that reason was profit.
Man, you've been popping up everywhere recently.
While Harvard does have a big endowment, they are a non-profit. You may not like everything they do, but that doesn't change how they are incorporated.
Also, attacking folks who were protesting was more a Columbia thing. Harvard has mostly dealt with their protesters more civilly, which might be why Trump and Republicans are coming after them.
They need to consider every single church that spews political nonsense while they are at it.
This just points that we are going to be targeted by them sooner than later. Save your receipts.
Start with the mormons. 265 billion? I think they can afford taxes.
And Scientology.
Fascism needs churches to keep their sheep in line. Education teaches you to ask questions.
...every single church...
May as well keep it simple for them. No tax breaks for bigot book clubs.
Every single accusation of theirs is a confession. They bitched and bitched about "lawfare" and being "cancelled", etc....when they stroke off to this kind of thing happening when it actually happens in reality.
Again, you're fucking with a premier educational institution. These people don't realize the shit they are stepping into with court battles that will get them relief quickly with injunctions, and have all kinds of ramifications for similar institutions. You can't just single out a single entity in a group, idiots.
If anything was going to happen, it should’ve happened when he fired people in the CIA, nothing is going to happen
So we still think obeying judges is something the Trump admin intends to do, even now?
Any day now these consequences are going to start showing up, amirite guys?
Not just any entity, one of the entities that generates the most lawyers and judges. But maybe that will be part of it, I bet they move to disqualify any judge assigned to the case who went to Harvard....
There is nothing to consider
Harvard might be considering a lot of law suits right about now. Maybe a dozen for every holding Trump has anywhere.
