Wow all that revenue from international students just gone... Surprised colleges aren't complaining...

benjaminzac1.bsky.social•1 day ago

International students should divest from America and American institutions that capitulate to Trumps Zionist agenda.

theglobalvc.bsky.social•2 days ago

💔 Not the America we thought we had

omkensey.bsky.social•2 days ago

Or for no reason at all. Just being a foreigner is enough for Trump to hate you.

bobgeo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Really dumb for balance of payments. Education brings in billions to the US economy.

helenus3.bsky.social•1 day ago

No longer the land of the free.

nvlife.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hell, it’s not even safe for Americans in America anymore.

bento-bongos.bsky.social•2 days ago

Planes are falling out of the sky. This is intentional, as greedy, corrupt officials are trying to make an open-air prison.

maguerrete.bsky.social•1 day ago

Get out while you can! Try to do a deal with another institution to credit your courses. Don't put up with the fear and loathsome shit of being in Merica!

dangerblond.bsky.social•2 days ago

Or if someone with the same name as you has offended the regime.

khazad-dum.bsky.social•2 days ago

EVERY international student has just been put on notice that the US can deport them for ANY reason or NO reason, all because their "views" might not comport with the official US view.

Yeah: THAT IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF FASCISM!

aercolini.bsky.social•1 day ago

Fuck, I hate that this is correct.

J1 Stay home. The Balkans are safer than the USA right now.

nancygerlach.bsky.social•2 days ago

100% correct. Time to find a friendly country to study in. Like YESTERDAY

nancygerlach.bsky.social•1 day ago

They are now revoking VISA for all the foreign students at CSU. (Cleveland State) I wouldn't come here from a foreign country to study now if THEY PAID ME

catnipnation.bsky.social•1 day ago

Going to be a real loss to US reputation as well as billions for universities.

cuuixsilver.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think the financial loss to university is a feature of this plan, not a bug.

catnipnation.bsky.social•1 day ago

I agree.

bobyost.bsky.social•1 day ago

There will also inevitably be numerous "patriotic" student informants to overhear casual lunchtime remarks foreign students happen to make.

michelletyler.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wonder how fast US universities would collapse without the money from international students?

crow202.com•2 days ago

In functional countries, criticizing elected officials is not something you have to hide, it's a @#$%ing *spectator sport*. I'm sorry the USA has been hijacked by morans; don't know what to do except show up at next week's protests.

cinnamongirl52.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is straight up fascism.

ba55fr33k.bsky.social•2 days ago

america is not safe for anyone who opposes israel murdering children for not being Jewish

welkinatdusk.bsky.social•2 days ago

Netanyahu is a war criminal full stop!

ba55fr33k.bsky.social•2 days ago

Netanyahu is a Symptom of a sick society, not the Cause

cinnamongirl52.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well, that "symptom" is responsible for the slaughter of innocent civilians. He needs to swing at The Hague.

ba55fr33k.bsky.social•2 days ago

Agreed, but there are a dozen to replace him in power

israel must be dismantled

welkinatdusk.bsky.social•2 days ago

There’s a reason he likes Trump so much. Birds of a feather!

ba55fr33k.bsky.social•2 days ago

trump idolizes netanyahu

pooroldjohnnyray.bsky.social•2 days ago

THIS IS A LIE
ABSOLUTE FAKE NEWS
ZIONISTS ARE EXEMPT

osbournemom.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sad.

profterrig.bsky.social•2 days ago

Or not…many students losing their visas have not been involved in protests.

I reckon the felon-in-chief is gonna spend eternity in hell; well deserved

bento-bongos.bsky.social•2 days ago

He will join McConnel in the Afterlife's trash bin. Not Hell, or even Super Hell. Just the Afterlife's trash bin.

atkat.bsky.social•2 days ago

In less than 100 days, this god forsaken Administration has ruined everything great about America and turned us from United States to a mass of cluster fuck. It's probably best that no one comes here because by next year we will be overrun with plight and pestilence

bento-bongos.bsky.social•2 days ago

And a third GamerGate would have started on social media because there's not enough T&A in gaming, how the plight would begin.

I am telling Foreigners to not visit the U.S.

mspragmatist.bsky.social•2 days ago

I would say for any reason at all. If I was an international student, even a white one but certainly one of color, I wouldn't come to the US anymore. Our universities are becoming collaborators w the regime anyway, so why should they? Go to a European university - you will get an honest education.

maguerrete.bsky.social•1 day ago

Germany doesn't seem too safe. You'd want to be picky choosy. Even Australia is dodgy, all those top flight institutions taking on the bullshit definition of 'anti-semitism' and a government which is pro-zionist - meaning academic freedom is also fucked there. UK - depends where.

stlcatfishmike.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not only what they may actually do or say but also
Anything the right kind of person may denounce them for.

The US is now a cowboy state..
It will be a long journey back to join the civilized world.

digitaldiva55.bsky.social•1 day ago

US is no longer safe for anyone.

"future thoughts" can get you deported now.

Aka fascism.

This is not an opinion, it is a fact.

losadazt.bsky.social•2 days ago

So sad. And entire industry that has benefited the entire world has been destroyed in two months .

janusdaniels.bsky.social•2 days ago

People "in America today must accept that they may be abducted, detained and deported" if our Republican Party wants.
Republicans can label anyone a terrorist and make it stick.

lucydemo.bsky.social•2 days ago

True!

oldmanjim77.bsky.social•2 days ago

Nobody in the US is safe from Trump's new gestapo: Not visitors, refugees, temporary residents or citizens .
For my whole life, the Statue of Liberty & Emma Lazarus's poem filled me with pride in my country.
Now I fear trump will melt her down & erect a statue of his hideous self.
He's that sick.

bento-bongos.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why France wants her back. It was a gift.

And now, America has destroyed that trust. Best reclaim her before a tyrant does something like that.

suffraga.bsky.social•2 days ago

THAT is how empires fall.

bbmjcandy.bsky.social•2 days ago

There are much better places to go to get an education than the US! I hate that but want students to be feel safe and be safe.

true-me.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, the fascist regime is trying to scare everyone who protests against Israel’s genocide. It WON’T work!!!! 🇵🇸 🍉 💪 ⚖️ ❤️

sobhyawar9.bsky.social•1 day ago

Every day is like a silent struggle. We cling to hope with weary hands, dreaming of comfort. If you feel like praying for us, you'll find a link to our life story in my bio. Your kindness makes me so happy🤍
