The Trump administration pressured career civil rights attorneys to investigate allegations of antisemitism at the university campuses of Harvard, Columbia, and Brown even though there was no factual or legal basis to do so, according to a former Justice Department attorney. Veteran civil rights lawyer Haley Van Erem made this allegation as part of a whistleblower complaint made public on Tuesday by Maryland Representative Jamie Raskin.

Dear English speaking people.

The country in South America is called Colombia, not Columbia.

Both names come from the same guy and the same genocide era, but the spelling is different.

Thanks.

Oh, so the USA has $1 billion to reward a right-wing ally in #Columbia but no $$ for Medicaid, SNAP and scientific research? “US offers $1bn to Colombia on new right-wing president's first day of office” Tells you all you need to know about #TrumpRegime priorities. $100 billion for an unwanted war. Countless billions to Israel in aid; billions to cancel #WindEnergy projects, but none for suffering US taxpayers. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy9wy3y0e5wo
