President Donald Trump has a very specific talent: he makes Leftists reveal how hypocritical they truly are.
Just a few years ago, the Left insisted that privately owned businesses, like bakeries, couldn't refuse anyone's business because it was 'discriminatory' to refuse to make a gay wedding cake (even if gay marriage was against your religious beliefs). The government could swoop in and drag you to court for years, fighting frivolous lawsuits. One of those people isJack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cake Shop in Colorado. He spent almost a decade in court fighting Leftist activists.
Now, suddenly, Harvard and the Left have decided the government shouldn't have a say in how they operate.
Can we just let private institutions admit and hire the people they want to admit and hire, instead of having the government dictate to them whom they have to accept? https://t.co/sPj3KZObig

Just incredible.
"Economic nationalism" means in practice the forced subordination of private judgment and private interest to MAGA's idea of the "common good," and a general indifference to the benefits of free exchange with the rest of the world.

Because there's always a post, you'll be not-shocked to learn James has a very different view on cakes, of course.

Oh, look at that.
First of all, are you against the Civil Rights Act of 1964?

Second, this isn't about who Harvard can admit. They can grant admission to Harvard to whoever they want. It's about a public policy—who gets a visa—and I don't think we should put that solely in private institutions…
That's the argument the Left uses whenever the Right says private businesses should be able to serve whomever they please.

Throw it back in their faces.
You dingalings have been pushing state sanctions onto private entities for decades. Now, suddenly, you are not happy about it.

This is your bed, sleep in it.
But it's (D)ifferent when they do it.
Seems like you want to repeal the civil rights act, or at least prevent it from being applied the way it has been for the last 30 years.

It sure does.
No - I want the government to not force institutions to discriminate.

Too late, buddy.
Harvard can admit anyone they like who can get a visa

Harvard can spend their own money on anything they like https://t.co/vtujNEjKj5
Just not taxpayer money.

Surowiecki's argument is rendered null and void.

Whoops.
Harvard has to bake the cake.
— Jeremy Kauffman 🦔🌲🌕 (@jeremykauffman) May 24, 2025
It would be bigoted to let Harvard choose to just not bake a cake for someone. https://t.co/gT9wLUbeq1 pic.twitter.com/TOvK7srcPO
Totally bigoted.
It’s genuinely entertaining how clueless these people are https://t.co/f8xuDTrIPZ pic.twitter.com/B7DgrdIKB6

It truly is.
Weird, right? pic.twitter.com/LxKXvWLFTv

So weird.
To include the complete elimination of affirmative action, non-discrimination, and equal opportunity requirements imposed on businesses?
— Mike Kilo (@Mike___Kilo) May 24, 2025
Let’s do it. https://t.co/fwa43ocHH6
His terms are acceptable.
