Columbia University gave over 94% of faculty political donations to Democrats during the 2026 midterm election cycle.

According to a Campus Reform analysis of Federal Election Commission data, the New York-based Ivy League school’s faculty gave a total of $575,885.72. On the other hand, donations to the right amounted to $36,404.78.

ActBlue was the top recipient of donor dollars, pulling in $336,364.89 across 10,233 contributions from 937 donors.

Are we to conclude Columbia is a communist indoctrination center?

[DefiantMassRINO]

The remaining 6% will be purged.

I forwarded this compelling, factual rebuke by @rangerrebew  to 174 Columbia University journalism professors after I sent all of them messages about their extreme left-wing bias while citing quotes.

Subject: Your Socialist Monopoly
 
“Public education is a socialist monopoly, a real one.” — Milton Friedman
To every journalism professor and the President of Columbia University, and to the editors and executives of The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, PBS, MSNBC, ABC, and NBC:  [In small groups to avoid spam filters]
For years, you have broadcast a portrait of America so relentlessly bleak, distorted, and self‑loathing that millions around the world would scarcely recognize the country they actually encounter when they visit. And here is the irony you never acknowledge:
International visitors, here in America to watch the World Cup matches, have been stunned – not by America’s supposed “decline”, but by how profoundly your reporting has misrepresented this country. They describe America as friendly, open, energetic, generous, safe, and astonishingly diverse. They praise our food, our culture, our optimism, our humor, and our everyday decency. They marvel at how Americans treat strangers. They leave with affection — not disgust.
Yet you continue to sell a narrative of rot, decline, hatred, and national shame.
Why?
Because for too long, the institutions represented in this letter have been captured by the same ideological monoculture Friedman warned about — a state‑protected, self‑reinforcing, unaccountable monopoly that punishes dissent and rewards only one worldview.
And nowhere is this clearer than in the universities that train the next generation of journalists.
Columbia University — your own faculty has provided the world with unforgettable examples of moral collapse. It was a Columbia professor, Nicholas De Genova, who publicly declared:
“I wish there could be a million Mogadishus.”
A wish for mass death — directed at American soldiers.
At the University of Colorado, Professor Ward Churchill went even further. He did not merely insult the victims of the Twin Towers — he rationalized their murder. In his own words:
“If there was a better, more effective, or in fact any other way of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the little Eichmanns inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of the twin towers, I’d really be interested in hearing about it.”
 
And instead of repudiating this worldview, you have absorbed it. You have normalized it. You have built newsrooms on top of it.

It has been that for nearly 100 years.
