It seems like the administration is trying to discourage travel across the border. Not just people on work visas, tourists and even citizens are reporting being detained. It's like East Germany or something.

Why would the US need scientists when they have stable geniuses?
The US is trading science and reason for zeal and faith. At least the scientists will be welcomed in the EU.

Didn't Albert Einstein flee Nazi Germany which advanced our research into what became the atomic bomb. Hmm... Should be fun century for USA.
Trump has already dismantled the American empire. The decline will be rapid and terminal. Even if they returned to sanity tomorrow, the damage cannot be undone any time soon. Nobody is going to trust the US again in our lifetimes.

Time for scientists to leave the nazi country, just like they left nazi Germany in the 30s and 40s
Damned scientists. Everywhere they go, the place turns into a nazi shithole

I hope he's already put of the country before he posted that, or he'll be stopped and disappeared for being a security risk or something
Why is this in the "memes" community? It is not a meme, is it? We should have a general discussion community for topics like these! (if it doesn't exist already).
Check the sidebar. We use the Dawkins definition of meme here.
In the context of Dawkins meme, this post is definitely a meme!
idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning
If we consider scientists imitating the behavior of other scientists (ex: leaving the us) combined with the social network post (signifying the symbolic meaning), it checks all the correct boxes to me!
Would another peer review my analysis?

Welcome to Europe! You get to keep your healthcare plans into retirement!
Why use Meta when Mastodon is available? The less we all use corporate social media the more resilient we become.
You have to say that on Meta if you want them to read it.

Pediatric. Oncologist. That dude is an absolute hero and treasure for taking on such a horrible and bleak profession. I hate that those words are combined in existence at all. God I'm so ashamed to be an American.
Some people are built different. My dad worked as a pediatric hospice nurse for almost 10 years. Talk about a shitty sad job. Every single patient is a child and every single one of them is GOING to die on your watch. Fuck THAT. I do not know how he did it.

Brain Drain time.
This is a sign we are collapasing. When the smart people wanna leave we are left with a bunch of narrow minded, uneducated people.
I work in big tech. 10 years ago, nobody was talking about going back to India, Pakistan, and to an extent, China. Now, people are talking about it. They're talking about Indian stocks, Indian houses, and dreams of retiring to go back.
Most people aren't - but the number is now non-zero.

They're welcome to come to Europe. In fact, Europe is actively trying to accommodate it as soon as possible link
It's okay to do the same to poor Latinos. But catch a scientists and I'm out of here!
It completely not, obviously. But it's unreasonable to ask the not-yet-disappeared poor Latinos to draw ICE attention to themselves, and those already caught in the orphan-crushing machine can't access social media.
These legally-documented scientists are the people who CAN speak out, and the loss of whom might matter to those whose worldview is entirely transactional. They too are now unsafe but at least they probably have lawyers looking for them.
Just saying, even this argument is a double standard. But OK. You gotta draw the line somewhere.

While it is not the point, I am curious if his colleague is white or not. Is ICE targeting all foreigners or just the non-white-Europeans?
Absolutely all foreigners - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly67j35y99o

Depart, [people] of education.
It's a play on a recent elon tweet. Tldr "Departmen of Education" ... I'd share it but I'm not giving that person more attention.

Extremely sad news, this is what an authoritarian state looks like for anyone who still didn’t believe it. Wish them all the best wherever they land.
