The NEW American Dream: Not living in America.
Well North or South America is fine. I like Canada. Mexico sounds really interesting, better than basically being enslaved by #capitalism.
#europe would be cool, I could probably have #healthinsurance and wouldn't have to worry about randomly getting shot (in most places).
Anywhere but here, and the #braindrain is about to be INSANE in the #usa.
#Duffy also emphasized his desire to end ⛔ #NASA's focus on studying the #Earth and understanding how the planet's surface and #atmosphere are changing 🙄 https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/08/nasas-acting-chief-calls-for-the-end-of-earth-science-at-the-space-agency
any young researchers in the US looking to escape from the turmoil? Come bring your fresh succulent brain to Japan and let Waseda University pay you for the workcation. 'Merica doesn't want you anymore. What have you got to lose?
The admin has already terminated thousands of #research #grants at agencies like the #NSF & #NIH, including on topics like transgender health, vaccine hesitancy, misinformation & diversity, equity & inclusion.
The order could affect emergency relief grants doled out by #FEMA, #PublicSafety initiatives funded by the #DOJ & #PublicHealth efforts supported by the #CDC. Experts say the order is likely to be challenged in court.

“This is taking #political control of a once politically neutral mechanism for #funding #science in the US,” said Joseph Bak-Coleman, a scientist studying group decision-making at the University of Washington.
The changes will delay grant review & approval, slowing “progress for cures & treatments that patients & families across the country urgently need,” said the Association of American Medical Colleges in a statement.

Agencies cannot announce new #funding opportunities until the new protocols are in place, according to the order.
The #Trump admin said these changes are part of an effort to “strengthen oversight” & “streamline agency grantmaking.” Scientists say the order will cripple America’s scientific engine by placing control over federal #research funds in the hands of people who are influenced by #politics & lack relevant expertise.
The order requires all #FederalAgencies, including #FEMA, the National #Science Foundation [#NSF] & the National Institutes of #Health [#NIH], to appoint officials responsible for reviewing federal #funding opportunities & #grants, so that they “are consistent with agency priorities & the national interest.”
It also requires agencies to make it so that current & future federal grants can be terminated at any time—including during the grant period itself.
#Trump executive order gives #politicians control over all federal #grants, alarming #researchers
