No, we are not.

No- but court cases take time. And mass mobilization is coming- starting local.

By the way, I’m not sure Europe is immune to this.

In case that makes you look for a science job in Europe...

American brain drain ahead

dadbeastlarge.bsky.social•112 days ago

Brain drain has been occurring for years since the Internet took over our minds. This will wring them out.

Almost 90 million voting-eligible people, more than the number that voted for either candidate, couldn't be bothered to cast a ballot in November.

Sitting back and doing nothing is apparently our national pastime.

yes, yes they are.

There are protests & court cases. The question is, what will it take? They seem unlikely to respect court decisions. What law enforcement agency will enforce those?

Our best chance may be to disrupt their money & power, the only things they care about. #boycott #globalstrike

Many people are angry.

The US has the highest per capita gun ownership in the world and a culture of using them to settle grievances. This does not auger well for the next 4 years.

Good, we have other centres and institutes to pull from that dont use American blood money we can use. Europe, Asia, South and Central America and Africa has their own we dont need amerifat scientists to talk to down to us.

No. We are not.

Professor, you're watching the decline of the USA: unfortunately our two parties are sponsored by special interests and the American people have been splintered. As a person with a scientific education and children, it's hard to watch - but I hope the torch will be passed.

America will be shut down! 🤦‍♂️ What will be the effort?

The newest US poll said that 53% Americans approve Trumps policy. Decline of American civilization, state, society...

As long as the racist deportation goes on and "liberals" are upset, that 35% will cheer on Trump even if it hurts them.

It seems so. We are actively turning ourselves into a Jim Crow version of North Korea.
