Given how they also are making it harder for foreign intelligentsia to make their way to the States (despite the brief soyrage months back over Trump supposedly "importing" educated Indian workers en masse), I'm curious where the American Right thinks their country's scientific base comes from. Trump is no less vocal than Biden about supposedly wanting to retake America's unquestioned global dominance but whereas Biden's policies at least salved the US's decline, Trump's policies are accelerating it.
Of course, it's more likely that the bourgeoisie in general see the writing in the wall for America's place in the world and are simply strip-mining the place for all its worth. Dems simply think it should be a more calm, measured operation while Reps want to be frantic about it while doubling down on immigration and culture war issues.

  Honestly these fuckers are so high on their own supply of culture wars, part of me thinks most of them genuinely believe all science has been infiltrated by "woke" or whatever. I don't think they've thought it through.
- American science is going to be research on how to best feed lead to a population by 2028.
  
  I thought thats what the school shootings were for? It's not like they're feeding the kids anything else.

  It feels to me like it's going all in on ai, so hopefully they work out the kinks in grok so when it's asked for a cure for cancer it doesn't spit out a diatribe on censorship in video games.
  
  i think so too, or at least that's what their silicon valley libertarian faction has told them
  and they are also just grifting and know it's all going down, except for a few true believers

  The American Right only cares about science, to the extent that they have identified them as an enemy in their culture war, that has to be destroyed.
  
  Most of these people believe the earth was created 6000 years ago, the dinosaurs were killed when God flooded the earth, and evolution is made up. They don’t want scientific research happening at all.

  At this point they probably think it is inherent in their white genes or something.
Didn’t know that they had one…
/s
- Yeah honestly can it get any worse? Look at my history textbook dawg
  
  The Indians taught them how to grow corn then voluntarily left :)

- The only trace of the American education system is the shootings.

The court's action came in a brief, unsigned order. Its three liberal justices dissented.

I just saw this Bluesky post by a lawyer.
Sotomayor’s dissent in the DOE decision is worth reading.
A reply
Pretty savage.
I'm stealing that.
- "History is watching," I smugly say to the fascist firing squad as I am lined up
  
  I noticed that even Bluesky libs stopped using those expressions months ago. Not that it matters a single iota. Next year they'll be doing what they always do - saying "Vote blue no matter who!" like never-dying cicadas.

  Congratulations on a brilliant use of hexbear emoji
  
  What is this witchcraft?
- many such cases
Can't have an underclass of peasants desperate for the communists to give them an education if they're already educated.
