I thought about mentioning the state's role in this, but figured everyone here was already aware of that (and I'm certain it is a major factor - and it is definitely a difference between the two situations). That said, telling her that no other research university would be likely to interview her goes above and beyond what UT can or cannot do itself - at least for now. I've been curious about what can or can't be done legally in this matter as well, and also have heard very little around here about what the universities are trying to or can do. One thing they can avoid doing is kowtowing, since Columbia has shown us that bending the knee gets you nothing but a slightly delayed kick in the balls.

Some research universities have not eliminated or hidden their DEI departments and policies; out of curiosity I looked at my alma mater (UW) and they still have all their info up, including "Inclusive Name Tools" and "Transgender Resources" among others. I'm sorry UT has approached it in the way they have by informing her they won't even consider her, including telling her that an interview at any research university will be sabotaged by the notation. For now, that's probably not completely accurate. (Tomorrow, who the hell knows?) I feel terrible for her and others in her position, excitedly starting careers, who have this disgusting shit sandwich served to them by their own country. Rage. Yeah, despite what I said above, ask not for whom the bell tolls; it also tolls for all of us eventually. Today visas were revoked for 9 students at the UW, 3 at Seattle U, and 2 at Gonzaga. None of the institutions have any idea why, nor were they or anyone else notified. SOP. At least the UW is providing legal and counseling services to the 9.

Plenty of people around here make smoked salmon... oh, you're making it from that farmed shit? Well, double fuck off and enjoy being leopard chow. -
There are actually states in this country that have enacted many of those policies, have robust economic sectors from tech to ag to manufacturing to services, have some of the top performing economies in the nation, and whose voters continue time after time to elect members of the party that bring them that. Some even vote in these policies via the public. While none of them are perfect by any means, I don't know, maybe go to those places and find out how and why that's working? Or, ya know, I suppose we could just go back and talk to voters in some diner in Fail State about failure.

Portuguese women are just fine, believe me... but daaaaamn, those bundas brasileiras!

Nah, you're the better choice. The Portuguese like to make fun of Brazilians (probably jealous that Brazilian Portuguese sounds much better/more lyrical than European Portuguese). Even speaking my terrible Brazilian Portuguese in Portugal, I always get the "you speak Portuguese very well... for a Brazilian!" followed by peals of laughter. Of course, Portuguese people are great and it's all good-natured.... (seriously, though, I hope for the best for you both and agree that right now might not be the best time for her to leave here) 🤬

"Dipping into Portugal" by train is extremely challenging and has been since Covid, when both overnight trains from Spain (one from Madrid to Lisboa, the other from Hendaye at the French-Spanish border to Porto) were discontinued by the Spanish rail operator RENFE. You can still travel between the two countries but it takes multiple trains, some of them local services, either from Madrid via Badajoz to Lisboa or from the north via Vigo to Porto (normally requires an overnight in Vigo). Alternatively, there's a bus service (2 hours or so) from the Sevilla train station to Tavira and Faro in the Algarve, where you can connect by rail to the rest of Portugal. All of these are doable and fun if you love trains, but will take a bite out of your rail pass days. You'd probably want the unlimited pass to do that. Unfortunately, there is no longer Wrexham - Portugal direct service either, although one hopes this will change once the Premier League is attained.

Naturalized citizens can be denaturalized and deported. I believe this even works on South Africans should an occasion arise. -

$43,000? That's minimum wage for most people in WA. That'll encourage the best and brightest. But yeah, sucking on the gubmint teat and all that. Get rid of 'em. What could go wrong?

Visited the Mighty Mo many times as a kid when it was at Bremerton (and once at Pearl). Congrats on the gig, and enjoy!
