Indicative of the real welfare queens and terrorists you need to worry about, not someone from another country, they're right in your backyard, running multi-billion dollar corporations, and holding office.
Your oppression is their profession

The elected Dems should gather up the 21 DOGE staffers that resigned, get the media and start asking ?’s. If the GOP blocks it in the Senate, then rent a venue somewhere. I think if they could start dropping some bombshells about whats really going on then maybe we could get the tide to turn.

The ridiculousness continues. Keep your nation sick and in poverty to make them easier to control. #FuckTrump #FuckGOP

RFK said he would pause research for 7 or 8 years. That is decimating to US life sciences and pharmaceutical research. And it is a death sentence for many vulnerable Americans. He is a ghoul.

Time to face the truth in the US: Our own government is trying to kill US.

They are certainly proving they don’t care about anyone in the US or the rest of the world. This is going to affect us all 😡😡 and not in a good way. Hopefully we don’t have another pandemic

Leaving research unfinished seem like a big waste of money to me. At the end of the day, it has nothing to do with saving people money, but everything to do with dismantling America.

purplepolitics1.bsky.social•13 minutes ago

The only purpose of this is to create such a vacuum of research that a new private industry rises out of the ashes. How much do you want to bet it is owned by Elon?

The dirtbags who are doing this can't understand the science, can't see how to profit from it or the science conflicts with their loony religion. The people of the world will suffer due to greed and ignorance.

How can anyone still believe that the 2024 elections were free and fair?

This will also have an impact on international collaborations, how can the rest of us put our trust and money into collaborations with US scientist at the moment, since we don't know what the mad man in the WH will decide next...

God I’m piping hot mad. F these guys!! Just spoke with someone today who was secretly fired without anyone knowing. They found out when they checked the payroll system. Fucking cowards.

I showed up at work one day and the doors were locked, the office was emptied, and no one got a final check. Life is hard. Put your crash helmet on.

How is this identified as fraud and waste? Does Musk have job descriptions for all of these people, as well as their projects and accomplishments? Who determines whether something is wasteful or not? Does musk have medical& research credentials which would qualify him to make such determinations?

These scientists will find positions outside the US. The only losses will be ours as our position in the world is reduced to rubble by the ignorant and incompetent trump administration.

marcpabst.bsky.social•33 minutes ago

Some of them will. Some will struggle. Some will leave for industry jobs. In any case, this is a hughe net loss for research funding worldwide.

chicago21222.bsky.social•24 minutes ago

What about the unis who are the beneficiaries of this research? Look at Boston, NY, Chicago, LA. The Boston mayor is suing the fat f.

metabodave.bsky.social•11 minutes ago

Most of them won't find jobs in science. This is a very niche market and the NIH is the powerhouse that drives research in the US. Take that away, it all starts to crumble.

rlowery.bsky.social•1 hour ago

Maybe they should learn to code. Isn't that the advice we give non-STEM workers when they get laid off?

oraclestwin.bsky.social•27 minutes ago

This will also devastate generations of science - kids won’t want to go into science if there aren’t jobs. It’s horrific - we are being dragged back to the 1700s - exactly what Project 2025 wants. The want an uneducated, controllable electorate.

oraclestwin.bsky.social•29 minutes ago

This would be a great time for a benevolent billionaire (if one exists) to create a science consortium and employ all these scientists and do some good for the world.

I am curious, how many of these people voted for Trump in the last election? How many people currently at risk of losing their jobs, their research funding, their benefits, around the country voted for Trump? This was an election decided by a relatively small number of voters in a few swing states.

A lot of red states look like dog shit for a reason.

When MLK organized Sit ins people were worried that the protesters would be lynched & the protests would be ineffective. But the protests hit the wallets of the business owners and there was strength in numbers. Join me; #CallIn to the Trump hotel, Lunch every Friday 1(855)878-6700 #resist

It's time for the Melinda Gateses of the world to start financing the hiring of all these scientists and researchers (who take their work out the door when they leave, if possible) and set them all up in California under Newsome's jurisdiction, or better yet, bring them all to Canada. Just a thought

Publish everything. EVERYTHING. Ask EMBO where you can stash stuff. They want to get in early on the on the next blockbusters. So put your early research in public asap.
