Maybe a good start is to have serious discussions about what one can do... I honestly don't know the answer. In normal circumstances, mobilizing to effect change via elections would be the most productive way. But I worry that the US is dangerously close to not being that kind of country anymore.

But unless you are "full MAGA," and willing to live in subservience to Trump and his cronies, ignore science and reality, and support the targeting of marginalized groups, then they will eventually find an excuse to come after you as well.

What scares me most is how many people and institutions seem to believe that if they keep their heads down and go along for now, they will be ok.

These are exactly the kinds of students we should be hoovering up and then convincing to stay and work/found their companies here.
Even Trump has said so. But this is what happens when you outsource your immigration policy to Stephen Miller, who hates immigrants more than he loves America.

Wow . . . At what point do we not even need to see the Epstein files to have a good idea of Trump's involvement?

Congratulations, Maite!
