I pretty commonly hear:

• Trump disavowed it
• nobody would be that bad
• you’ve been brainwashed by the media.

Exactly. The problem here isnt that China did something bad; it’s that the US government sabotaged the future prosperity of the US

It’s not going to be just 25 when all is said and done. Multiple other countries are looking at ways to recruit American researchers or bring home their own nationals who have been working as professors in the US.

When you stand on your own you don’t accomplish much beyond your own death. That’s not a worthwhile move for me.

This is a not-so-crazy move in deeply Republican districts, but it requires getting folks to actually show up and vote in Republican primaries

There is a reason unions maintain a strike fund

That was standing against an outside invader. Americans don’t have the same luxury.

I stand on my own and fire a weapon is pretty useless. To actually succeed, I need a lot more people on my side. Enough that we could probably impeach and remove those responsible for this mess.

The problem is a what to actually do. Congress and the courts are controlled by people who largely agree with Project 2025. Most of the American public has no clue that it’s a real thing, and thinks it’s so out there that anybody telling them about it is on LSD and not credible.

The US accepted top talent from both Italy and Germany during WWII.

Like a lot of the NYT, there isn’t another source. I recommend restarting your browser and/or device and making sure Javascript is enabled

It’s not even the bots; it’s that the feed ranking on 𝕏itter is tuned based on Musk’s whim, and he’s most likely modifying it so that people dot get seen if they’re not going along with his Nazism or cult.

It’s a neologism, rather like “inflammible” because “negative” is an awful word to use for marketing.

There is a report

The following nine states have established statewide 30×30 goals and are currently in the process of implementing them: California, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, and Vermont.

I think the ones who might have a spine were purged from the Republican Party over the last few years. There might be a couple in the Senate and a few more in the house, but nowhere near enough
