It sure is ethnic cleansing. En masse

None of us want to go near your crumbling empire. Time for pitchforks.

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍👍👍

Damn near a hundred years of soft power right down the shitter and my career is toast at age 45. 10/10⭐

They’re all going to go elsewhere

I wouldn’t

Every single competitive advantage the US built over the last 150 years is being systematically dismantled. Every. Single. One.

As someone who works in American academia, I really don’t want this to be true. But I think you’re right. This is generational work at this point.

Voters memories are too short unfortunately. I actually think the next President's term will be a poison chalice. AI bubble popping, markets reacting to the fear that they will be regulated again, government unable to function and stop disasters due to the loss of talent....

One year. Maybe. If everything isn't fixed by the end of the first year of a trifecta the voters will put the fascists back in power.

A number of countries in Europe have created programs since spring 2025 to attract scientists & researchers in wake of Trump’s attacks on immigrants, science & education. 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 🇳🇴 🇩🇪 🇳🇱 to name a few. However, none have anywhere near the size/scale/$€ to come close to making up for loss in US.

Okay, that's the entire planet fucked, then. 🤭 On a serious note, I believe many American academics are looking primarily at the EU, and the UK given the language. Probably also Australian, New Zealand and Canada. Maybe Japan, I don't know. Certainly many of these have set out welcome mats for...

I can only speak for the cancer Bubble and Germany. The doctors I talked about it so far already see US scientists come to Germany, also the first Germans are coming back to from the US. And while Germany might be a bureaucratic nightmare, other EU countries are not. We are different COUNTRIES! 😑

Haven't a lot of European countries been gradually pulling back research funding the past few years?

Things just … get worse, seems to be the most probable outcome, but hard for people to accept.

BTW, what exactly do you mean by “bureaucratic cowards”? 🤔

Chinese parents send their kids to Australia for high school education, and then hopefully continue into tertiary studies. Our universities have many international students studying, many from India, Thailand, Malaysia but….

I am one of those people stuck or rather hung. Neither here nor there. It’s difficult to like go anywhere as people literally spend years searching and planning and it’s just too depressing.

TERF island? What are you talking about?

we have no choice but to try

No President can fix this failed society. America cannot be salvaged. It must be dismantled.

Who knew the movie Idiocracy would become a documentary? 🤚

I can’t blame you or anyone for looking for a different way to earn your degrees. It’s a sickening shame what you have to go through. Hopefully when Trump administration is gone we can reinstate the things we’ve lost

Post WW II the people who betrayed their country and humanity did not fair well. And most justice did not come through the court system.

The phrase “cutting off your nose to spite your face” comes to mind! Yes, I am that old! I never thought I would see the demise of science, mathematics & medicine in this country. What a tragedy!

@alexip718.com ICE is still kidnapping students from their homes.

I voted against all of it. I married an immigrant. This sucks.

Agree. But I'd go a step further. I can't even tell people to come here for medical treatment that's available elsewhere. If there are hospitals in Europe that offer the same treatment, go to Europe.

What you are saying has been obvious to some of us for quite a few months now.

Oh please - Education in the Red states have sucked since forever, please your revelation here is just meant to continue the pile on. American education in Blue states are contrary to conclusion posted, but guess it's easier to lazily Troll then honestly engage, when your Aim is more Followers.

My undergrad degree required completion of co-op jobs. What the actual?

There's a lot of things going on in education (and elsewhere) that in a sane country would destroy the administration and most of them are an afterthought to most people, seems like. This is definitely one of them. The amount of long-term damage being done is unfathomable.

One of my students family in China got sick. He went to see them. Stuck for three months now waiting for authorization to reenter. Can’t do work because of the crackdown on data sharing. Int’l ed gives the US enormous cultural reach + ~$43B/yr into the economy. We’re ruled by morons.

@alexip718.com I can't recommend that anyone come here, period. For any reason.
