#SF #BayArea edu institutions like #UCBerkeley take hits from #DOGE cutbacks as #Drumpf claims U.S. colleges are “dominated by #Marxist maniacs,” and #MelonHusk derides federal funding as enabling schools to “practice de facto #communism

#Drumpf will jetzt Pabst werden.
Super. Da kann er dann San Marino mit Strafzöllen belegen.
#Physics Today looks at the human side of budget cuts that have cast off and dismissed so many US govt funded #scientists.
In "Silenced Science Stories" 50 artists made portraits personalizing the devastating disembowelment of research as #Drumpf admin and #DOGE operatives slash government support of vital US lab grants and work at #STEM agencies like #NOAA and National Institutes of #Health.

#Drumpf admin targeting of top universities does not spare #UCBerkeley whose #CalBear has been poked and probed by the President's fave pro wrestling doyenne now also in charge of the Dept of #Education.
Linda McMahon's #RWNJ minions have put the top #WestCoast public #university and research center under heat lamp of scrutiny for taking in hundreds of millions in donor dollars linked to foreign governments including #China, and a supposed culture of Title VI #discrimination against white and Jewish students. The President has personally targeted and threatened defunding the top tier #college for years, dating back to his first term.
Not only has the #campus been accused of the #CampusAntiSemitism trope but are dealing with 117 total issues laid out by federal authorities now seeking to #defund the public institution.

After officially ousting out lesbian black TV comedianne #AmberRuffin as confirmed host, the thin skinned US President himself is not even expected to attend next weekend’s annual #WhiteHouse correspondents’ dinner.
The #Drumpf admin has been particularly sensitive to negative press, threatening to jail journalists, and even ousting long time #PressPool members, including a ban on the entire #AssociatedPress org from events for continuing centuries of precedence and refering to the #GulfOfMexico instead of the President's preferred term “Gulf of America”.

#Greenland via #Denmark is protected by #NATO.
Do you really thin #Drumpf wants to engage in war with the allied nations of NATO -- the organization that he demeaned & wanted to withdraw from anyway?
I think not!!!! 🤷♂️
@PoliceStateUK #China just trumped #Drumpf.
The #ShortFingeredVulgaraian started a pissing war that he CANNOT win!!!!

@Starcade Thanks for the info!👍
FWIW, this is just an example of #Drumpf manipulating the markets &, except for #China, I think he's going to make "deals" with the other countries, especially #Canada, #Mexico, the #EU, #Japan, #Korea, #Taiwan, #India & other countries because he doesn't want to be blamed for the market collapse which has already happened & likely will get worse if the tariffs are allowed to stay in place for any significantly amount of time.
So, personally, I'm not that worried about it. 🤷♂️
Redefining the history of #Slavery in #America, the #DJT admin has put its anti-#DEI thumb on the scales.
Under new #ExecutiveOrder edict to reshape the #Smithsonian #Museum and the #NationalParks, curators of historic sites are ordered to rewrite history of #CivilWar, delete references to #HarrietTubman. Teaching visitors to historic sites about #UndergroundRailroad has been legislatively mandated since 1998, but recent #Drumpf era ommissions have been removing references to that, as well as #JohnBrown from #HarpersFerry and deleting mentions of #AfricanAmericans, the practice of slavery and any "divisive narratives" ...
Relations between #China and trading partners in #Europe are bolstered by chaotic rollout of US #TrumpRegime #Tariff tantrums .
#EU and #Beijing appear to strengthen ties amidst awkward economic estrangements with #USA and it's #Drumpf isolationism drag.

@Bronwyn Don't think we've seen the bottom yet in this market but you don't have a lot of time to hold off. Early futures pricing was down 5% more earlier this evening but current futures pricing is basically unchanged from today's close.
They always say that you can't time the market.
That's not entirely true but if you want to maximize your investment, my guess is that if the market doesn't tank again tomorrow that will be the best time to place your order because it's likely to bounce back from the over-reaction to #Drumpf's tariff announcement, at least for a few days, before it heads down again.
If you want to hedge your bet, you can average in at $1k at a time, every other day, over the next 10 days.
Good luck!
