If they persist attacks on #universities will destroy a cornerstone of #American life.
Every year in #US, almost 20 million go to college, representing every race, ethnicity, and social class. This is college in #America—or has been for a long time.
#HigherEducation is in chaos, and #professors and administrators are sounding alarm. Few administrators talk about the risk in public, but they take a different tone in private.

The End of College Life
If they persist, Donald Trump’s attacks on universities will destroy a cornerstone of American life.Ian Bogost (The Atlantic)
President #Trump’s expansive use of #executivepower faced at least 328 #lawsuits as of May 1 — with judges halting his policies far more often than they allowed them.
Courts entered more than 200 orders stopping the administration’s actions in 128 cases. The court battles are testing the balance of power at the heart of #American democracy. Trump supporters have attacked judges as biased, and his administration has been accused of failing to fully comply with orders

I wonder, given #RobertPrevost’s many years spent in #SouthAmerica, if the choice was related at all to the current cruelty of Trump’s #immigration policies & #deportations of #LatinAmericans. [he is also a Peruvian citizen]
Notable that after #Pope #LeoXIV gave his remarks in Italian he spoke in #Spanish, but the Chicago born #American did not speak in English.
[my aunt just texted me that Pope Leo’s dad was the principal at her grade school in Chicago Heights. She’s Italian & very excited]
Prevost served as a bishop in Chiclayo, in northwestern #Peru, 2015–2023.
#PopeFrancis brought him to Rome that year to head the Vatican office in charge of choosing which priests should serve as #Catholic bishops across the globe.
Prevost said during a 2023 Vatican press conference: "Our work is to enlarge the tent & to let everyone know they are welcome inside the Church."

'#Peace be with you all', #Pope #LeoXIV says in his first public words.
Cardinal #RobertPrevost, 69, is an #American who has spent much of his career as a #missionary in #Peru, is relatively unknown.
Made a cardinal by #PopeFrancis in 2023, he has given few media interviews & rarely speaks in public.
Originally from #Chicago, he has attracted interest from his peers because of his quiet style & support for Francis' 12yr papacy, especially his commitment to #SocialJustice issues.
Europe’s not just watching—they’re walking.
#BoycottTrump is exploding. Shelves with #American products sit full, while the world downloads apps to avoid buying anything tied to this clown’s empire of greed.
Tesla, Coke, Mickey D’s—rotting like his brain.
The world’s done with fascism.
