@maximillianalvarez.bsky.socialReposted by @maximillianalvarez.bsky.socialI've interviewed Columbia grad students after ICE abducted Mahmoud Khalil, grad students in Michigan after the FBI raided activists' homes, grad students at Harvard striking while Trump holds its federal funding hostage. These people don't give one single fuck about US students @therealnews.com
@maximillianalvarez.bsky.socialYeah, gonna go out on a limb here and say that the people waging an all-out war on US higher ed and the people who live, learn, and work there don't give a shit about "protecting" US students/grad students... definitely gonna do an episode about this
