This administration must REALLY hate #travel & #Tourism as well as #Culture #Languages #Meetings or #Conferences. Apparently foreign countries and lands have now become places to pillage and invade by a bunch of arm-chair conquistadores claiming land without leaving the comfort of their gilded rooms

Trump calling Zelensky a dictator, claiming he has a 4% approval rating is pure nonsense. Here's what research by leading Ukrainian and Western academics shows. Read the press release and share widely! @oonuch.bsky.social @gwendolynsasse.bsky.social

Many areas of US economy seem to have come to a screeching HALT this month. Indeed similar to 2008 crash... except this time it appears to be happening by design.
It is thoroughly unacceptable to take a thriving, prosperous economy & stab it in the heart to advance an ideological crusade.

Germane to much of our #ConferenceInterpretation work in #HIV/Health over last 3 decades.
The #Ignorance is just staggering.
"Conflating biological sex with gender; declaring a binary system of gender identity or sex identity is scientifically #inaccurateβ

It is devastating.
#ClinicalResearch is now dead in the US.
Ongoing trials are on life support, participants are left hanging, & new studies are likely DOA. This is a frontal attack on world health.
For us #ConferenceInterpreters, looks like #InternationalMeetings will become a thing of the past.

Question for #Interpreters & #Translators:
What is happening with your business?
#Conferences?
#ResearchMeetings?
#InternationalEvents?
The chaos, ubiquitous funding freeze, hostility to all things global & general unpredictability seem to be sowing distrust and paralysis in the #Language business.

The #FreedLibrary is absolutely beautiful, an oasis in an easy to access space.
#HoustonMayorJohnWhitmire is a constant source of frustration for #Houstonians who voted FOR him, he must do better!

To clarify and give context:
ALL 37 men are still in prison and will remain there.
@Potus rightfully believes the government should NOT be in the business of murdering people.
We agree!

Sadly, we will be leaving @X at the end of the week.
It no longer offers a town square for professionals w/diverse voices to interact & learn.
Please come look for us to build a new community of ideas.
Really looking forward to seeing old friends & new friends here!
