Narrator: It won't work.

It's already working. I know multiple academics who are fleeing to the safety of Europe.

Why would you want to stay here where your grants can be denied because you have the word "woman" in your abstract?

In open source-terms, America is behaving the way of grsec. It doesn't even have a Wikipedia page anymore.

Do you have an example?

Yes, but not famous people and not people I'm going to dox here.

Many thousands of academics and researchers are terrified, depressed, and scrambling to find backup jobs. That's the point of all of this: retaliation against what Trump sees as ideological enemies in academia and civil service.
