Show PostJesus Christ, this. Platner was given the benefit of the doubt despite having a fucking Totenkopf tattoo on his own skin, while many of the same people are demanding El-Sayed answer for any random comment from anyone who supports him.
Show PostThe value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.
Show PostThe schools that stood up to Trump thug demands—first Wesleyan and Princeton, then Harvard, then many others who were emboldened—have won in court and earned honor in history and support from alums. Columbia showed that appeasement always loses. It's never enough. Don't do it, Yale.
Show PostSo this has nothing to do with the law. No one thinks Yale is in violation of it. Right now there is no legal settlement though McInnis uses the notion as a shield for her lack of transparency and candor with her own institution. 7/ president.yale.edu/posts/2026-0...
