They are systematically destroying America for what? Russell Vought got everything he ever dreamed of and now he’s strangling the golden goose in the guise of budgeting. Christian Nationalism will kill this country.
It's not rocket science, pilgrims.
It's called Fascist Christianity Insanity in the USA.
To be fair... I don't hate all Christians, just the Evil Personified Fascist Conservative shameless lying hypocrites calling themselves MAGA.
The only way out if this utterly embarrassing mess is to VOTE BLUE every chance we get from now until the destructive and ignorant MAGA GOP know-nothings are gone from our government!
🗳️ 🗳️ 🗳️ 💙🇺🇸💙
I say @TheDemocrats are not a political party. They have not supported their own platform in 30+ years. They have no strategies to thwart the fascist neocon anti-American agenda.
Think: USPS, endless war, #PosseComitatus, multiple trillion $ corpirate bailouts, loss of 2000 & 2016 elections via #ElectionFraud, Roe, Supreme Court approvals e.g. Kavaugh…
#VoterSuppression #GlobalWarming #PoliceState, highest incarceration rate in the world, increasing homelessness & poverty, loss of state legislatures, a minimum wage unchanged for 20 yrs, almost daily gun massacres since 2012 #SandyHook.
How his 'mind' works (I know, I know):
remember in his first time around, he said that if he needed more doctors, he'd simply 'hire' them? Like they're stocked on the doctor shelf, waiting for him.
I know a few personally whose studies cannot be paused without losing significant data. Some have had to use personal funds to keep them going until an Angel Donor is found.
Certainly Bill Gates or other non-MAGA billionaires could send a few bucks their way.
One of the things I see happening is that, years from now, parents who need special medical treatment for their kids will be looking to overseas sources for advanced medical treatment, not to the United States. That's the Felon In Chief's goal.
Trump is turning America into a third world country while the GOP just stands around and looks the other way. Everything generations have fought for…poof.
In fairness, most Dems are just looking on, too. Until and unless we start hearing the truth about the intent behind GOP/MAGA actions from elected Dems, we can assume they’re complicit. Because with rare exception, it sure looks like they are
Republicans are idiots! They don’t see the value in science because they’re too stupid to understand the cause-and-effect of education and investment in the future. We are being ruled and governed by complete morons!
Brain drain helped to bring down the USSR, the Trump Administration's anti-science actions are a clear and present danger to the sovereignty and the very existence of the US.
We’re going to need a doubling, tripling, or even more of all these budgets in 4 years time if we ever hope to try to undo the damage that’s be wrought
Meanwhile Europe and China are quickly moving to cash in on the inevitable brain drain, ensuring that a generation from now the US will be the technical backwater of the developed world
People in this country have no idea the devastation that is happening to science in the United States right now. We will never get back to what we were worldwide.
Please tell the good doctor that we are not going to lose a generation of scientists because there are many, many brave men & women ready to fight to restore this great nation to its rightful place as a bastion of education, science, & sanity. Be it by protest or arms. .....preferably protest.
Just Stop! Yes we have an idiot for a president! But if we were ruled by Nazi-fascist, we wouldn’t have access to social media! We are able to get off our butts and do something!
Maybe because I have an indirect knowledge of Nazi cruelty! My great aunt and uncle had Nazis break in to their farm house in northern Italy, were they gang raped her making her husband watch. And then setting him on fire! So yes it bothers me to see us compared to Nazi!
Make them listen! It time citizens of this country let trump know he works for US! The last century, people would make sure their voices would be heard!
I'm sure 1930's Germany said the same exact thing about newspapers and radio. Until Hitler took over the radio and newspapers. He started with the theater (Kennedy Center remind you of anything?) and the military academies (Naval Academy). Trump will be gone, but others follow.
I’m volunteering all the time knocking doors, talked to a neighbor a third time since Trump took office. Keeps saying he wants to get involved, (and I’ve given him several concrete ways to help), yet hadn’t “gotten around to it”. How bad does it have to get before he will?????
WWI wasn't enough. They lost a lot and their current life was bleak. Like us, a brutal fraction latched on to a moron who preached hatred and anti-semitism, anti-homosexuality, and pure race. Germany First.
Sure you can!
Hydroxychloroquine ring a bell?
Ivermectin??
Quack medicine is the best!
Cures everything. EVERYTHING!
Who needs science with these two miracle cures available!!
Some of them will and already have. But Canada has 10% the population of the USA, so obviously, all of those jobs can't be recuperated by a single country that's much smaller than the USA.
We need to save the science, that is why the EU too because the science needs to continue. I am from a backwater province who hates science so it is hard to watch what is happening in america knowing that Daniel Smith wants the same thing for Canada. The only reason I am alive is science & medicine.
Advances in Science turned Voo Doo into Voo Don't, but now we're descending into Voo Poo thanks to RFK and the people who won't stand downwind of him.
"Science asks questions that may never be answered.
Religion has answers that may never be questioned" - The Late Bill Peach, Franklin TN author.
The agenda is to erode education and create more pliable minds to put little screws into iPhones, along with degrading government services to the point that same pliable minds beg for Musk to take over.
At Ripon College, the birthplace of the GOP, for commencement. The theme was women and STEM. The flag bearers were the ROTC, all women. Speakers were all women scientists. It was great to see pockets out there still fighting the good fight.
That's deliberate. Their intention is to consign Americans to screwing bits of iPhones together, and import all necessary scientists and engineers from other countries on temporary contracts under H-1B visas.
You cannot have science without scientists, & without science & technology, country loses power. The only reason USA is a superpower is because of science and technology. But an interesting thing is that in the US, over the years, on average half of PhD students are from abroad. Hm, good luck Murica
The trump administration and the GOP are happily making America a 3rd world country! They are so pleased with themselves in destroying America that they can barely hold back smiles & laughter in doing so. They make me sick 🤢!
There was an age when the western world was mired in plague, pestilence, and putrefaction while the learning, science, culture was developed in the eastern world.
How history repeats itself.
Why is there little to no commentary addressing why the GOP/Republican’s appear to be ready to surrender American hegemony in medicine and science? Put bluntly, why is no one asking why the GOP is backing many Americans dying from lack of medical treatment and scientific know how?
And no, I don’t believe the majority of the GOP politicians are ignorant and don’t understand science. Are they willing to lie and appear that they don’t believe in science, sure. I’m asking why so many GOP are lined up for massive death of American citizens over the next 10 to 20 years.
This is a direct result of generations of ignorant GOP politicians and voters undermining our Public School Systems causing more ignorant students AND their private school vouchers creating more ignorant GOP politicians and voters ad infinitum to land us here with their Idiot in Chief Trump.
Stand back Stand by ..Trumps uncle was a scientist, so that makes him a scientist by blood .. Don't fear.. He will science better than anyone in history!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Young people are training in blue collar positions to make higher wages and avoid student loans. College has become too expensive for many, strapped to a life time of debt.
They destroy these organizations using a fraction that is
permanent 4/5 to make it easy to steal biggest chunk always but leave the crumbs.
What the f*** is 1/5 of STEM ? They render them on LIFE SUPPORT!
I can only imagine that the MAGAt mindset is a tiny box with blank walls. Anything that would disturb the perfect stillness, change the color or texture or shape, must be excluded.
Science is a way to see the colors, the shapes, the fractures in our understanding, and it is beautiful.
Considering well over two million Canadians have a license to own firearms, including about a million handguns, I think we like guns just fine in Canada!
One of our academic friends in UK mentioned that research programs at his institution have seen a more than a doubling in the number of US scientists applying, from 150 to 400.
All right, I agree with you. Remember Fahrenheit 451. The people couldn’t write the book down or print it off a computer or any of that bullshit, had to fucking memorize it.
The desire to learn, and the inspiration to preserve and protect knowledge will never go away, no matter who’s in charge.
I have 4 kids, all scientists
Thing 1 is a working bench chemist
Thing 2 just graduated with Biology and Anthropology degrees
Thing 3 is a Technologist in a masters program
Thing 4 has the heart of an engineer but still time to decide
As a scientist, I can speak with authority on the matter. Losing scientists will regress American technologies, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, etc., while the world explodes past us. The economic impact alone will cost Americans TRILLIONS of dollars in lost revenue and destroy most of the industry.
All that's left in the US are (Illogical, Deluded, Paranoid, Conspiracy-drunk Lunatics that watched too many Sci-fi [Science-based Fiction] Movies, then fear-rants obscene horseshit conspiracies based on them. You'll notice hints of references from those entertaining but Illogical, Fiction Movies)
"You can't have science without scientists" is what Mike Johnson and RFK tell themselves in the mirror every morning before they leave their house to wreck America.
They don’t want science. It requires and encourages critical thinking. They want undereducated, functionally literate drones who will keep their heads down and do what they’re told.
Not just science. All work is a series of problems to be solved; without adequate problem-solving skills, no occupation survives. We already suffer from lack of problem solving and reasoning because the best way to learn to solve problems is by solving problems presented authentically by teachers
who ask the right questions and know to ask questions rather than give the “right” answers- especially when problems that appear to be the same have nuances that require different answers.
Germany was leading in all sciences before 1933. After Hitler's dictatorship Germany never recovered from the brain drain. This should be a cautionary tale for the US
Also, DHS informed Harvard, today, that they can no longer enroll foreign students. Historically, many such students remain here post-graduation. Courts likely will overturn the DHS edict, but it is a further indicator of this regime's approach toward institutions and peoples who are not favored.
We have an election going on in Virginia right now for the Democratic primary. My house district has the 3rd lowest turnout in the state. Yes, it’s mostly rural, but there are democrats here. I went out yesterday knocking on doors of strong Dems reminding them to vote, how, where and what times.
I’m an experienced canvasser and a member of my local Dem committee. Canvassing is rewarding and really not scary, and best way to get people out to vote. I took training on the votebuilder database through my committee, and learned to cut my own turfs (houses you are knocking).
The radical right lunatics cannot abide an educated population. They loathe intelligent people.
The sociopaths in the gOp are actively destroying the very foundation of a strong 21st century nation:
*public education
*world-renowned universities
*an esteemed scientific community
*solid rule of law
They don't want progression, they want regression. Their greed knows no bounds. They don't care if it extincts their entire race. Incredibly selfish and small-minded people, who we have rewarded by giving them enormous amounts of money and power.

What the hell are we doing?
Disciplines of seeking and presenting rigorously researched findings and updates for examination and scrutiny?
A dumbed-down population will go along with any old nonsense shoved in front of them

Run for office, local, city, county, state, federal and nonprofits.
Neocons are professional politicians, from the ground up. Why aren’t progressives?
Power to prove this hypothesis is true.
remember in his first time around, he said that if he needed more doctors, he'd simply 'hire' them? Like they're stocked on the doctor shelf, waiting for him.
Certainly Bill Gates or other non-MAGA billionaires could send a few bucks their way.
They simply run around like neanderthals making 💩 up and manically giggling like loons.
Then they spread that 💩 and the other neanderthals just nod, go along, then shout down anyone who disagrees and points out their lies.
We can’t live well without Science
Putin must be laughing his ass off
“They blind us without science”
🎶
The whole reason we have a space program & guided missiles, was because we convinced von Braun to work for the U.S. in the face of Nazi collapse
Other countries are now trying to lure our scientists & doctors to their countries.
By 1934, it wasn't.
If you don't read history, it's going to repeat on you.

My state doesn't realize it's actively bleeding to death from chronic brain drain in its rural areas.
I barely make more than people that are quite literally illiterate at work lol
I'm a hardy river rat, my brain is just broken, people are going to die for no reason other than Trump's hubris

Just ignorance, misery and death.
It replied
"I can assist with science."
So, yes, you can't have science without scientists.
FFS, we are screwed.
It'll just be done outside the USA...

This is the dawn of a dark age for the US.
"TRUMP IS A TOTALLY CORRUPT RACIST IDIOT PIG"
And for all those offended by my language, I really do not give a shit.
We've had it with Trump. We've really had it!!!
