Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Law firms did not strike a "truce" with Trump. They capitulated to an authoritarian. Some, like Skadden, sought out these deals before they even faced any sanction from the Trump regime.
The law students standing up are brave. The law firms they are protesting are cowards.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

There is no magical pot of money waiting in Europe for scientists fleeing the US.
And it sure as 💩 isn't in Canada, which has been foolishly slashing university funding and all research funding for YEARS. NZ has recently started doing the same.
A lot of science will just die on the vine.

Pet peeve: I hate how often ppl claim “all the researchers will just move to Europe/Canada!” You vastly under-estimate how little money there is there vs the USA- and unless that changes ASAP this loss is just going to decimate global science, full stop. 🧪🔭

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.
Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

In actuality, measles can cause long-term damage to the immune system. This is called "immune amnesia," and it is characterized by the body forgetting how to fight off other infections after recovering from measles.
Once again, if you'd like to die like a Medieval peasant -- vote Republican.

American hunger and financial ruin, TB and AIDS around the world, measles here, Ukrainian deaths, etc. Someone should maybe start a Trump Regime Death Count kind of like the covid statistics from five years ago.
Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.
Internal Memos: Senior USAID Leaders Warned Trump Appointees of Hundreds of Thousands of Deaths From Closing Agency
One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, the memos…
