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.

Ordinary citizens are going to have a hard time jumping ship, but star researchers will be able to.

It's a gift link. Folks with Javascript enabled just get the article without needing that.

Cars, power plants, and combustion for heating and cooking

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.

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.

What do you mean nothing? They've actively supported him.

It's a meaningful change from his prior stance that the prisoners would die in CECOT

If you ever stay in a DC hotel, the glossy magazines in the room have escorts ads. I do not claim to know which intelligence service places the ads.

The laws which sprang up after the 21st amendment make shipping alcohol subject to fairly complicated regulations. The rules likely depend on both where in the US you live and where you ship them to (eg: his office in DC, or some suburb where he lives)

He has only been sighted reading one book:

Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

"Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?" I asked Trump.

Trump hesitated. "Who told you that?"

"I don't remember," I said.

"Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he's a Jew." ("I did give him a book about Hitler," Marty Davis said. "But it was My New Order, Hitler's speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish.")

Later, Trump returned to this subject. "If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."

Is Ivana trying to convince her friends and lawyer that Trump is a crypto-Nazi? Trump is no reader or history buff. Perhaps his possession of Hitler's speeches merely indicates an interest in Hitler's genius at propaganda

How things really work don't matter much when you're a fascist. They simply lied, lied big, and lied often, until people were convinced otherwise

My high school classes spent a lot more time than that on WWII, but most definitely did not cover Hitler's tariff policy.

A lot of engineers don't realize that there is earned expertise and skill in other fields...or that the consent of the governed matters.
