They are pushing us into the dark ages!!! Can’t imagine how many potential discoveries will be lost! 😡

Ok so what we are now saying is send all our highly educated, trained skilled students overseas to pursue further education and research opportunities so guess what they will be employed outside the US in droves and bringing all that knowledge out of the country. Way to make America dumber again.

tallstef.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ok are you fucking kidding me! My kid graduated UCSD and planned a gap year before reapplying for grad school. All that on hold now. This corrupt administration is crippling our nation. Did anyone vote to take away higher education from our kids? Way past time to step up and protest in the streets!

Fascists and authoritarians always go after the academics and intellectuals first.

This will affect the future of scientific research.

They are carrying out Putin's wet dream of destroying America's status as a global superpower.

They're cutting higher education in the UK as well. The courses are being cut and costs so much to go it is once again becoming the preserve of privilege.

Grad students teach undergrad classes for low pay. If a school doesn't have grad students, they will offer fewer sections, with larger class sizes. Welcome back to the big lecture hall, I guess.

Move to Europe where a great education is free.

At what point is it enough for these asshats? Are they only okay if they burn down the entire government and the country along w it?

dawil-01.bsky.social•4 days ago

They desperately want to keep everyone ignorant, so they don't know any better. Sad beyond words. 😢

Gutting HHS, pulling back & cutting funding for medical / scientific research, eliminating Dep't of Education, cutting funding to public ed & universities / colleges, stifling free speech amongst researchers, & the list goes on. Fascists don't like smart people who can think critically.

Social structures and groups have advanced the human race to this point.

Complacency will lead to the end of DEMOCRACY, for you and your children, and grandchildren.

The herd protects its youth, and everyone in herd's future.

STAND UP! in LARGE numbers and show your RESISTANCE!

Just sayin'

One of the three pillars of sovereign rule is Monopoly of Knowledge

It's why teachers are underpaid, class sizes are increased, schools are closed, books are burned

The dumbing down of America.

Republican want people to be uneducated so they are more easily fooled.

They want more Tommy "Trigon" Tubervilles

sciencevinman.bsky.social•4 days ago

Tuberville could be the dumbest and most ignorant Senator ever, and that is hard to do.

They are trying to collapse universities, aren't they? Sometimes Trump seems more Pol Pot than Hitler, although Hitler targeted German universities. I think Trump derides education in its entirety.

chriswhu.bsky.social•3 days ago

They rely on a total lack of education in order to retain power, the sad thing is that it seems to work! 😔

voxindie.bsky.social•4 days ago

Dumb down America.

I’ve got a PhD student working on treatments for human genetic muscular degenerative diseases. She has been in research for three years but a first year as a grad student. My other is in the second year of a 6 year BA/MD program. This may kill the future for both. Stupid, Stupid DOGE.

Trump is crippling the country like we were nuked.

dswan1.bsky.social•4 days ago

And with all his worldwide threats, it seems like he wants to try actually nuking us all too.

debbie156.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes. I saw a very fascist statement from Linda McMahon stating education will be geared towards the societal needs. Dream crushers!

phxphlash1944.bsky.social•4 days ago

How about a figure four grape vine on Linda!

dhstokyo.bsky.social•4 days ago

I work in higher ed. This is indeed happening and is a big problem.

maggyw.bsky.social•4 days ago

That mean inevitably staffing cuts.

notmine20172025.bsky.social•4 days ago

The object: keep them stupid so they’ll obey willingly. They’ll never question anything, they’ll be faithful, they’ll be loyal, they’ll cooperate, they will even die for the leader.

suchedu.bsky.social•4 days ago

Spot on!

chicago21222.bsky.social•4 days ago

And stop offering things like life saving research and innovation. Make this a dystopian place where everyone is paranoid.

You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind.

A journey into the dark recesses whose stupidity are that of imagination.

That's a signpost up ahead: your next stop: the MAGA Zone!
