at the same time, the Defense Dept continues to spend millions on FLE at places like the DLI and Flagship programs, but only the 'strategic languages' of Mandarin, Arabic, Russian, Farsi, and a few others, sometimes spending upwards of $1 million per student. If it really were about efficiency...

Someone is Putin’s bitch and it’s definitely not Zelenskyy. America is now weaker than it’s been since before WWII.

You do you buddy. I wish I could protest the Canadian Mining Corp that is poisoning our environment here in Arizona, and I'm sure they're kissing Trump's ass right now to overturn the lawsuits stopping them so far, but hey, that's not your problem, is it. Enjoy the strong and free life, eh.

No fckin shit. We all voted for Kamala. 78 million of us actually. You think academics don’t think about that every day? You think we aren’t working out asses off opposing everything they do?

Yeah well think about the organization you're denying registration fees to--many academic ones oppose and fight Trump, while bigger ones might be corporate, feeding into his machine

It’s not understandable. Trump and right wingers couldn’t care less if organizations like CALICO survive. The people he cares about make more per second than any academic visiting would spend in a week. It’s smug and self-righteous if you ask me.
