#TrumpTariffs - What’s going to cost more now? This BBC chart, sourced from US Data, helps visualize the likely impact. Bottom line… American consumers are ultimately going to pay, which will drive #inflation up in the short term. The #TrumpAdministration appears convinced that we will benefit long-term, but personally… I have my doubts. Many doubts. #Trump has managed to alienate our neighbors, as well as former allies. He’s done irreparable harm to the US global reputation. Who can trust this man and his #Republican enablers? #Economy #TradeWar #trade #EU #consumers #USPol

I'm sorry, but it's not "I'm sorry, but I have to cancel this years tour to the U.S.. I would have done it despite everything but they wouldn't let me.", it's "Under the current circumstances, I refuse to travel to the U.S., to bring myself in unnecessary danger, set a bad example, and support that inhumane regime." That and only that.

Sorry but I just can't take these people seriously that have been told time and again to NOT travel to the U.S. right now and what they will encounter on arrival, and then they are completely flabbergasted.Like for real: What the hell did you expect? That you are better than everyone else? More important? Immune?

„Vor zwei Wochen wurde nach einer Recherche des US-Magazins »The Atlantic« bekannt, dass die Regierung von Donald Trump veranlasst habe, eingelagerte Lebensmittel zu verbrennen, statt sie an Bedürftige im Ausland zu schicken. Betroffen seien demnach 500 Tonnen Notnahrung, genug, um etwa 1,5 Millionen Kinder eine Woche lang zu ernähren.“

Unfassbar unmeschlich 🤬.

Columbia deal with Trump administration may set stage for other schools – The Washington Post

Education lawyers and advocates said Columbia’s deal with the White House was a potentially dangerous government intrusion into higher education.

The Trump administration hailed its deal with Columbia University as a victory and a template for agreements with other institutions on Thursday, even as concerns mounted that the settlement represents an unprecedented intervention by the government in the inner workings of higher education.

Under the terms of the deal, announced late Wednesday, Columbia will pay more than $200 million to settle claims over antisemitism and discriminatory hiring. In return, the government will unfreeze more than $1 billion in federal grants and funding to the university.

The settlement represents a dramatic new stage of President Donald Trump’s aggressive effort to exert control over some of the nation’s most prestigious college campuses, cracking down on anti-Jewish bias as well as diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and demanding a shift away from a liberal worldview.

In agreeing to the deal, the elite Ivy League institution in New York City is entering uncharted territory: It is making an enormous payment to the federal government despite not admitting any wrongdoing while relinquishing a certain measure of oversight to an independent monitor.

Columbia’s deal follows one between the University of Pennsylvania and the Trump administration this month. The administration had announced this spring that it was freezing $175 million to Penn over its policies on transgender athletes – which were in alignment with the NCAA’s rules at the time. Penn agreed to no longer allow transgender women to compete on its female teams and said it would send apology letters to swimmers who were affected by its policy.
