After I #graduate from my #astrophysics #masters #program next #year, I'm going to take a #GapYear to #improve my #resume for #applications to #PhD programs. Probably I would be doing an #internship, and given the #Trump #cuts here in the #USA, there aren't many #opportunities available.
I've heard that #France is picking up some of the slack. I'm #wondering if I should go, what I should do to #prepare, and where else there would be opportunities for me. Does anyone have #advice?

One way that citizens are manipulated is through repeatedly publishing #polls that show a decisive win for one side or the other.
Polls that show a decisive victory for your preferred #leader or #party can get people thinking that they don't need to #vote -- because there are enough voters to assure victory.
Alternately, polls can discourage voters by convincing them the other party is assured victory.
IGNORE POLLS. PLAN TO VOTE, THEN VOTE!
Disinformation campaigns will target information on how, when, or where to vote.
Get your information DIRECTLY from reliable sources. Make sure that you share that information with the people around you.
Make a plan to #vote, and help others around you -- family, friends, co-workers, neighbours -- to plan their vote. Know your local polling stations, know how to get there, know when polling stations are open early voting.
#Prepare yourselves, prepare yourselves for revenge. Accumulate your anger day by day—this yes—and make it explode at the right moment. Facing you stands the most shameful, vile garbage heap in history, sum of the sums of every wickedness. No danger of making mistakes about where to strike, the target is so vast that even if you were blind from birth you would still be able to centre it.

There's an election coming, and the purposeful, weaponized disinformation campaign from foreign governments has begun.
The #US #President has realized that his endorsement is radioactive -- and is engaging in reverse psychology as a result, endorsing #Carney instead of #Poilievre, hoping to prevent a #Liberal majority government.
The best way for you to fight against foreign interference is to #volunteer for your preferred local candidate.
Y'all Ready?
Y'all Better Get Ready!
Be Ready For Whatever Whenever!
People aren't doing anything bc most of them have no idea how bad it's getting bc "I can't watch the news or listen to the madness." So they are just carrying on like it's 2014. They aren't thinking ahead in a real way, like at all. Some of y'all really think that when you turn on the sink faucet, that there is always going to be water there. Y'all think that there's going to be groceries on the store shelves. Y'all still getting on that social security you paid into for 30 years. Y'all are going to try to continue to live like you've been living, and I can tell you, it's not like that. #prepare #resist
Given #MotherNature's unpredictability due to the #ClimateCrisis, it's essential to #prepare now for future #emergencies.
#Preparing in advance can make all the difference.
These simple steps will assist future you when an emergency arises.
1. Know your risk
Understand what risks your local area is prone to.
Stay informed by downloading local emergency alert apps and following official channels for updates.
Keep your phone charged and have a backup power source in case of outages.
2. Create a plan
Determine safe exit routes and meeting points in case your household is separated.
Make a list of emergency contacts, including family, neighbours, and local authorities.
Regularly review and practice your plan to ensure everyone knows what to do in an emergency.
3. Pack a kit
Stock up on essential items like first aid supplies, non-perishable foods, bottled water, torches and extra batteries.
Keep important documents in waterproof packaging.
Don’t forget essential items for children, pets or elderly family members.
Keep up to date, check food expiry and update accordingly. #auspol #bushfire #flood
Learn more about #media #literacy -- knowing the landscape of the mass media, & being critical of what is said, or aware of what is left unsaid.
In #Canada, the majority of large news orgs are owned and/or controlled by right-leaning companies -- think 'Fox News' in print form. While individual #reporters may be dedicated to the craft, their #editorial staff are likely picked to be deferential to their owners politics.
That's why we should https://FundTheCBC.ca/
Almost as if on cue as the markets melt down, the #POTUS just threatened #Canada AGAIN this morning, insisting that the only way to escape the trade war is for us to relinquish our #Sovereignty and become a #state of the #USA.
Not happening.
Bullies often double-down on bullying before folding like a cheap lawn chair. It's time to contact your #municipal, #provincial, and #federal politicians to ask what they're doing to prepare and #resist continued acts of aggression.
With the increasing economic damage caused by the US Administration, the risk of a War of Distraction increases dramatically. There have already been dozens of overt threats to #Canada 's #Sovereignty, and actual fiscal assaults to its economy.
Now that the American financial markets are diving, a switch to diversionary foreign policy is all but inevitable.

It's time to get ready by practicing some of the #Resilience tactics mentioned here.

In addition to building #community by getting to know your #neighbours, attending #protests is a way to meet people whose #politics and concerns are similar to your own. Ask to meet with organizers, get into regular contact with them, and find out how you can help the cause.
Also, take the time to learn how to #protest safely -- how to pack, things to bring (or things NOT to bring), and how to #prepare for being detained (like writing contact info on your arm with permanent marker.)
We tragically get the benefit of hindsight of what led to World War 2 #WW2.
The goal here is to get people to acknowledge that there has been a dramatic shift in the geopolitical situation, & #prepare for the possibility that #Canadians may be in a situation where #Resistance is necessary -- and to be ready.
But what if *it* doesn't happen? Then I guess we'll have made allies, learned valuable skills, and come together as a community and a country... is that so bad? 
Something I feel I should explain... Why do I keep making posts mentioning #German words?
Because this exact same pattern of behaviour has happened (relatively) recently. Everything the US is going through right now played out in Europe from 1930 to 1945.
I keep drawing parallels of what's happened in the past, to give you an idea of what's coming next.
After #Hitler controlled Germany, the threats to sovereign countries began.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
This account was created due to the ongoing and repeated threats to Canadian sovereignty -- including those that are clandestine and/or obvious.
We will post regularly with ideas for preparing, organizing, and resisting.
This account hides follows & followers. Or, follow the #Prepare #Organize #Resist hashtags if you don't want to follow directly.
Remember: It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you. 
Apropos of nothing, the prices for spare tubes at my nearest bike store haven't gone up.
