That's clearly a false dichotomy.

I can fix her

That is insane.

As I understand these NSF-funded research projects are only part of the entire curriculum. So it would be a misrepresentation to say that the US is "getting rid of" these students. They will still study and get a degree, they'll just have a harder time finding an appropriate research project. That's still bad, but not the same as what is claimed by the tweet.

How is the price of a cryptocoin even relevant to this post?

The tweet gave me the impression that these people lose their jobs. But it turns out that's not entirely true, because it also counts undergrad and preK students who participate in a program one way or another. That's still bad, but not as bad as the tweet suggests. Surely there is a better way to represent the budget request?

But seemingly most of these numbers are students?

OIP is just a branch of Elbit, so yes 100% of profits go to a company fueling genocide. I don't see you dispute that.

OIP doesn't even claim that these protestors destroyed equipment destined for Ukraine (nor is there any corroborating evidence), only that it was delayed.

... according to Israeli genocide-supporting arms manufacturer.

By buying American aircraft?

Moon's haunted.

It's saying the quiet part out loud. Surely anyone who sees this will be outraged?

It's an absolutely massive amount of money. And it's not temporary while there's a war in Ukraine, it's indefinitely. All because Trump pressured the rest of NATO and wants more money going to his buddies in the weapons industry.

Even without the US, European NATO countries already spend more than Russia and China (sources from 2024 and 2025). Just how much more should it get?

But even if you do buy on Amazon sometimes, why should that make you on board with surrendering your city to this billionaire? It's part of this toxic obsession of finding minor 'gotchas'/hypocrisies instead of debating substance. You MUST subscribe to every belief of team A and hate everything from team B.

“You’re telling me none of these people shop on Amazon?” said New Orleans native Jake Springer, who, along with his wife, was spending a weekend in Venice on a wine tour through Italy. “At least they are protesting peacefully. Americans could learn a thing or two from this.”

They found the dumbest possible American to give a comment.

This is basically how Wikipedia users communicate still.
