VOA is/was a propaganda media broadcaster and does/did not provide aid. USAID provides/provided aid, and that aid was the carrot portion of the carrot and stick method favored by neolib imperialists. Gain influence with aid while ensuring US dominance over local natural resources and governments.

I played GTAV on T-430s

Through the Voyager phone app I sometimes use the 'random community' search option to make Lemmy like StumbleUpon. I dont see this random option through desktop though...maybe its a Voyager thing

I'm in 5th year of phd in semiconductor design and fabrication - I too am weighing my international options!

There are tons of protests going on everyday around DC. There's some planned for tomorrow at HHS HQ specifically for this concern

With the new fascist us administration, there’s whole swaths of scientists from every discipline being fired from national research orgs. Canada has an oppprtunity to be the recipient of a siginificant US brain drain

I'm mostly upset that this puts z-library and libgen back high up on the anti-pirating enforcers radar

you know what Flying Squid - I'm gonna email my senator right now. 🐙

where are all the conservative instances so we can go DUNK and SLAM on them?

most electoral college votes. Less people voted for trump than did for Hillary in 2016, and he still won.

Yes, Kamala would have been better. But she lost, and thats on her. This geno cide has been going on for 75 years and she gave no indication that she would do anything to stop it.

I understand the anger - I'm currently dealing with grad school funding issues directly related to the new admin so it's hitting very close to home. However, instead of left-of-center infighting over who got the fascist in office (when neither/none of us even voted for him) we could join forces and troll conservatives online by simply posting facts in their comments section. <3

Good on you @febra. Some of us have to stick to our principles. Meanwhile, other comments make it truly apparent that 'scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds'

To the people blaming protest voters: Other voters are not your enemy. The two-party oligopoly is the enemy. The goal of zio nists and is rael was always to remove all the palestinians from the region - it is built into the purpose of the state. There is no evidence kamala would have done anything to stop this. She wouldnt have said lets take it over ourselves and make it into fucking casinos, but regardless, the overall plan of removing all the palestinians would have continued and the US would have continued to fund it.

A federally managed DoE goes all the way back to 1867 - it became a cabinet-level department with a specified 'Secretary of Education' in 1979.

Only 20% of the country voted for him (77mil votes out of 330mil pop) or 49% of people who voted (77mil out of 156mil) so statistically I guess that 27% accounts for people who voted for fascism.

Breaking news: Locals fight back when invaded by foreign countries. Shocking!

And they didn’t synthesize any of them to verify the algorithm works

it includes a halt on publishing scientific articles as well, so there is a currently a moratorium on federally-sponsored research/knowledge being open source (which is like...the whole point of having federally-sponsored research)
