“We have to attack the universities… professors are the enemy.”

#NIH funds universities.
Jay Bhattacharya believes what Vance says here too. Bhattacharya was chosen by Trump because he would attack universities.

Scientists must oppose Bhattacharya’s confirmation, and there is not much time left.

Reposted from Valérie Masson-Delmotte

"The universities control the knowledge in our society (...) We have to agressivly attack the universities (...). Fundamental lies that feminism is liberating (...) There is wisdom in what Nixon said, the professors are the enemy "

Where did you see Bhattacharya say that or express these views? Horrifying if true.

altnih4science.bsky.social•6 days ago

Bhattacharya invited an Epoch Times person (Bannon-aligned) to Stanford. Check out what he’s said about DeSantis too - who is destroying universities in Florida using the Orban playbook.

Of course these guys say this AFTER they scoop up their degrees from Yale and Stanford.

I’m perplexed JD. I thought you got where you are in life because of your education. Or maybe you need to re-write your life story?

What is their replacement for valid science that has given us med tech and pharmaceuticals that work?
Green juice?
Reiki?
What??

Knowldge is of course the enemy of Christofascism, as are free nations.

First step to setup an authoritarian government is to attack universities. Same universities that brought him, his wife and probably his kids to his current position. Hypocritical and morally abject.

Note the similarities of this "enemies" language with the demonization of everyone in China's Great Cultural Revolution. This is meant to demean and disrespect; next step, legal action against violators.

He is a follower of Yarvin, apparently many people are. His values and views can be seen in a lot of what we are hearing and seeing - it does bode well for higher education. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin

Bhattacharya is?

coachkatjack.bsky.social•6 days ago

Vance is.

This shit stain is why we don't dare invoke the 25th Amendment.

I did a double take as I thought I read "We have to attack the universe" and I thought this was a cool and hardcore quote from some sci-fi game. No, it was me misreading and Vance being a fucking loser

altnih4science.bsky.social•6 days ago

Not true. Trump's numbers are falling. Public pressure works.

We are looking for a tipping point where Republicans start to cut and run under pressure. The town halls are starting to work.

Even if true, as more and more people reach the FO phase, his popularity will fall.

fallwind.bsky.social•6 days ago

How on earth is this number even remotely close at this point, let alone positive? I love my country, but goddamn we are collectively unhinged...

jwflowersii.bsky.social•6 days ago

Because millions have been fed lies and misinformation for years. Literally brainwashed. It's not easy to change that when it's constant.

pattistoll.bsky.social•6 days ago

Because someone made this up. It's not real. Like most of the things attached to trump.

Soon, the only really real thing about trump will be the flatlining of the economy.

The death of an unvaccinated child from measles is already forcing RFK to walk back some of his long held lies.

lindayoung164.bsky.social•5 days ago

I guess that makes them accomplices and will all go down with him.

I am not convinced Congress will represent the people who elected them over their own self-interest / self-preservation.

I think you may be overestimating how familiar the average American is with JB.

comradeasveitz.bsky.social•6 days ago

Exactly despite what people think Trump craves attention and Public Image is important since he is a wannabe strong man who fails even at that. People need to stop being hopeless all the time.

Vance is the enemy.

ericstrong.bsky.social•6 days ago

Unfortunately, a Congress willing to confirm RFK Jr as HHS secretary will confirm anyone Trump puts in front of them.

kauaihorses.bsky.social•5 days ago

This message from Trump will surely spark hundreds of protests at colleges, schools, and universities across the country.

Then Trump will justify declaring martial law.

skyporter.bsky.social•6 days ago

National con, alright. Universities are the lifeblood of progress, the infrastructure for research and the scientific method.

These ultraconservatives are Christian Nationalists, and are afraid of the realities that sound science reveals.
