Once people have left or don’t come here at all, we’ve lost them. The whole country will suffer for decades because of Trump. Other countries will be glad to have these people and will benefit from them.
Yes–Germany invented the modern university. In the 1930s its universities were the best in the world until the Nazis destroyed them. German universities have never recovered their preeminence. We risk repeating this history here in the US.

Trump's science denial, racism and sexism will trigger a brain drain that weakens the United States. MAGA is trashing our leading role in the world to wallow in greed and ignorance.
