Setting aside the fact that the government is acting in bad faith, there are two things metascientists should be doing now: 1. Reflection on what they could have done to prevent this misappropriation instead of shrugging it off with a "they'd do it anyway" 2. Finding a firm stance on what to do next

Many Swedes, curiously, appear more scandalized by Trump's antics than their own PM's, even when those antics are qualitatively the same.

This is what fascism looks like: Attorney General Bondi threatening judges she claims are not cooperating with Trump immigration policies and saying “we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you.”

My PhD student's NSF grant was terminated today. Her dissertation investigates why air pollution monitoring, metrics, and regulations don't properly capture the harms experienced by marginalized communities--esp in the most polluted Detroit neighborhoods. She and I are happy to talk with press etc.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Not just "proactively threatening" but firing them, canceling their grants, rescinding their security clearances, and arresting, imprisoning, and threatening to deport them!

In 1851 Samuel Morton proposed the infamous "drapetomania" as a mental disorder that caused slaves to run away. Nothing new about using mental disorders to discredit resistance to some political or social order.
