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

Dark Pence is back.

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.
An open letter to members of Congress from U.S. based scholars on the incredible harm done by dismantling foreign assistance. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
This is getting absurd... decades of safe skies have crashed landed in 3 weeks of chaos.
No words......
We are all now infinitely LESS safe than we were a month ago.👇
Again....WHY?????
Have they learned NOTHING from #Covid?
One has to REALLY ask: WHY????
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 #inaccurate”

UNBELIEVABLE 😔
A national embarrassment, we share the shame, regardless of who we voted for....
Is this a joke? 👇
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.
Decades of experience #Interpreting #HIVResearch and #Scientific #MedicalConferences.
We are at a loss for words contemplating the devastation this administration's actions have unleashed.
Lives are at stake....

So....#GulfOfMexico for the rest of the world and "Golf of America" in the new US dystopian alternate reality?
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!
#EndTheDeathPenalty
We have the names.... and let them run for office.
What's WRONG with #America?
We would like to wish you all the happiest of the holidays!
And to all of our friends, colleagues and families, we will see you in the New Year!
Time to measure and ACT is now.
Everybody should look at the amazing work #Foodbanks are doing in this area.

#Mafalda was an iconic figure in our beloved #Argentina.
She fulfilled her dream to learn languages & become a UN interpreter to help people understand each other.
This is also our goal ....
Cheers to her & all #interpreters #translators and the dream of a better world!

Wave started in #Oklahoma & is now hitting #Texas.
Everybody... #Jews #Quakers #Muslims #Agnostics has a right to quality, free, public education w/o #Religious indoctrination.
Please write to your local #SchoolBoards & tell them NOT to adopt this:
#Religion should be TAUGHT AT HOME.
November 20th is the 79th Anniversary of the #NurembergTrials.
Celebrating the role of #ConferenceInterpreters who continue to facilitate dialogue, bring nations together, and contribute to world peace and security.
Did Mike Johnson institute a transgender bathroom ban on #TransgenderDayofRemembrance (TDOR)?
Intentional or not, it is appalling.
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!
