Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

An ordnance technician at a dead run outranks everybody.
Like when safety at work asks what steps to take when you see an electrical fire.
“Fucking big ones” apparently isn’t a good response
I work with big tanks of a pressurized gas that occasionally releases pressure for a few seconds, very loudly. Civilians are often startled, and ask if its going to blow up, and I always say:
"Do you see me running?"
"No."
"Then don't worry about it. But if you see me running, then you should definitely run, too."
This is going to keep happening. The brain drain is real.
There are two sides to the brain drain. First are the researchers into things the government doesn't like, who will leave if they have the means to.
But the second is that with all of our hostility to foreign nationals right now, even the ones who come from countries the government likes will think twice about applying for positions here.
The net result is that the brightest minds will go elsewhere.
It's like a federal version of the same thing red states were doing. I left a rust belt state over a decade ago because it was clear the state was going down the tubes.
They're making America Mississippi again (MAMA).
And thats exactly the plan. An idiocracy thats easy to control and exploit.
There are also all those, in both humanities and sciences, whose projects or departments are denied funding for ideological reasons.

You can almost feel the average IQ of the nation drop every time one of these people leave
Stanley recently wrote for the Guardian about a new Department of Education directive that said teaching about systemic racism and other topics could be grounds for a civil rights violation, according to the Trump administration’s legal interpretations. Stanley said this order sets the country “on a path to educational authoritarianism”.
The fascists are still robbing their opponents of the language of dissent by turning its meaning on its head. It is now a "civil rights violation" to claim that there is racism, homophobia, transphobia or sexism in the USA. Civil rights now means protecting the supremacy of straight white men.
"WAR IS PEACE / FREEDOM IS SLAVERY / IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH."
It's uncanny how relevant this is
Man I knew this election was going to turn into Americans coming to Canada en mass and us having to deal with more fucking Americans.
Yeah, the people coming to Canada aren't the ones you have to worry about.

Build a wall...
Well Americans cannot vote in Canadian elections unless they can obtain Canadian citizenship before election day.
Fortunately, it seems we're sending our best.
You can’t post or say anything without fear of being targeted by the Trump administration. The legal student protester got abducted, and Trump stops funding universities because of protesting students. The cabinet is full of dishonorable fascists.

Why flee when you can study it live.
Exactly, Jane Goodall didn't run from the apes, she joined their ranks to study them.
This guy should be closer.
/s if it wasn't clear
maybe he studies fascism in the way at CERN they study particles: once they found experimental evidence that one exists, they start looking for the next. Now given the abundant evidence that the US fascist exists and multiple collisions have been observed with everyone's balls, he's started searching for the more elusive Canadian Fascist

Welcome, friend ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you.
This sounds like the debt we owe the countries that hid jews during the holocaust.
Your acts will be remembered long after the Trump name has been abandoned to the dust heap of infamy.

we should be forming a human shield around these people
I wonder if he has seen through history what what the future can become with the direction of the current political administration
It could become dangerous for having a voice

Trying to remove the observer effect, totally understandable! Best wishes in your studies! Say, before you go, which alcohol makes for the best Molotov?
A wise decision
Chuck?
