A lot of great people doing important work just lost their jobs because the most destructive, bigoted, willfully ignorant people in the world have targeted them. Here's what you can do to support yourself or anyone you know who lost a job. Please add your own advice at the end of the thread <1/n>

1. Survival job & unemployment filing, ASAP. It's a means toward freedom even if it doesn't use your brain
2. Take contract work where you can get it. Hold those self-employment taxes!
4. If you are fortunate enough not to need a survival job, get a leave-the-house job
5. Professional fellowships can provide a lot of needed community
7. Hold tight to the fact that none of this reflects your worth as a scientist. Do not let it diminish you.
Have you lost your job? If not, sit down.
The international group is completely gone. The educational & criminal justice, as well as other social science research centers, have been decimated.
