Can someone tell me more about this? Better yet has anyone systematically truth checked and deconstructed any of its entries that I can use? Sent by a maga friend of the family who knows I hold a doctorate but want’s to “prove” I am wrong. Thanks in advance!

It is inevitable. Shows you have hit a nerve

Protest in Barcelona

Europe is campaigning to attract top talent who might otherwise have gone to ( or already are at) top US research institutions. Terrible for USA, a win-win for Europe👍

Georgia’s heartbeat law. Worthy of the Handmaid’s Tale. The Braindead Handmaids on life support because their fetus had a heart beat when they developed complications. Dim light indistinct mumers in the background and the ceaseless sound of respirator. Womb and fœtus, priceless. Compassion, pricey.

Best thing to do is walk away from the confrontation. Put your energy where is is needed. There are people who have doubts on more than one policy or set of actions. Engage them. Believe me I understand. I have MAGA family who brush off anything I say as an opinion. I guess 2+2 can equal 5.

Foreign Student have gotten the message and applications are way down. Also Canada and other countries have created programs to cherry pick the best faculty and students, seeing this as an incredible opportunity

The point is they need to be doing more than posting on Facebook about their screaming from the rooftops. I am very disappointed with them.

As a profesor I can attest we have historically gotten the best and brightest from abroad. And many of our foreign students have been a source of revenue for that only benefited US students. Alas Europe and Canada already are enticing these students who no longer want to be in the USA.

Graditude to all who are out there today!
You are the true patriots.

There has been great damage done and he is still there for now. Come out Saturday, with signs, make noise. Demand that due process be respected, fight for SSA and Veteran Services, Medical research. Government’s around the word are issuing advisories about visits to USA. YOUR presence counts.

Texas. You need to turn out Saturday. Defend the indioendece and power of law and due process, against cuts to vital services (SSA, Veterans’s Aministration. Make signs, make noise!

Saturday April 5. It will only have an impact if you are out there.

Thank you for doing this. Next one take a Trump style picture that makes the turnout huge. We need millions on Saturday!!!!!!

Thanks for being there. There needed to be even more people ( and a photo Trump style) that makes the crowds look huge). There needs to be millions on Friday. Off to drive people to protests.

We have been fortunate that we have had an a sense of wars on our soil since the Civil War and, despite MaCarthy, Nixon… we did not experience the total destruction of 2 world wars. I feel especially bad for the young. I think they can stop this. Give them our support and empathy. And be here.

I hope there will be a huge protest turnout on April 5th in Texas and not just in Dallas, Houston, and other large cities. It has to be tangible to his supporters.

What will be enough to shake up those who supported him?

He is dependent on Putin’s goodwill, after all.

Israel’s new offensive brings the Gaza Trump resort a step closer and the kidnapped further away. But what a a few people’s lives when there is so much money involved?(irony) This is peace-making?

I realize that the alternatives are both flawed. But as AOC suggests, where is your red line? Veterans benefits? Funding for Snap and Medicaid? How far will you go to hang with conservatives in PA? I don’t mean to lecture but your “ just can’t support a shutdown” seems hollow.

It is very treacherous . For now if Democrats don’t cave they can defeat the vote. But can they pass a temporary budget? That would be better than a shutdown that will be seized by conservative media. What can be done to make some Republicans on the fringe more afraid of constituents the Trump?

Yelling is not enough. They are not listened to by Trump supporters. Flooding represetatives with mail and visits, votor polls are more effective. I have not seen a real discussion of what exactly the suggested budget. Is Trmp already asking to lift the debt ceiling?
