Pretty much the title sums it up. There’s a lot to be concerned about, and one thing I find personally disconcerting is how US educational systems might be impacted.

Do we need to make backups of, like, everything educational and scientific? And where are all the places and forms that we can host these materials?

Edit: to everyone saying it shouldn’t be an issue because Trump/US doesn’t control information in the rest of the world, keep in mind that is little comfort to those of us here if access to that information becomes restricted as well. We should be seeking to hedge all bets.

    From the federal perspective, I’d also anticipate the possibility of FAFSA being gutted and making higher ed inaccessible to more students.

    Student loans has been one of the most effective tools to enslave domestic middle class population. You don’t under the role they play hence why you don’t understand why the state won’t restrict the loan origination. I expect Trump to come in harder on the borrowers tbh to extract extra revenue and to just punk the stupid plebs for “majoring in ljberal arts”
