Students from countries with better university systems continue to come to U.S., whereas those from countries with lesser university systems have dropped significantly.

Seems foreign students understand racism of Trump 2.0 very well — even if some underestimate the randomness of the repression.

The psych job market may not be dead... but it is gravely injured 😬 So far it's looking like the Trump administration's attacks on higher ed/research are going to have more than 2x the impact on the job market as the covid-19 pandemic. #psychjobs #neurojobs #academicjobs

The University of Cologne plans drastic cuts to its Political Science department, potentially abolishing the MSc in Political Science and eliminating the professorships in IR and Comparative Politics. This would severely weaken the social sciences at @unicologne.bsky.social.

A matéria do Globo de hoje é preocupante. Desde pelo menos 2018, vemos gente reclamando que apertou um número X na urna e não apareceu o candidato que queria. É sintoma de baixa educação eleitoral, mas também consequência da salada de frutas que é nosso sistema partidário (segue)
