Any educated person who was paying attention to the reporting last year (Project 2025, RFK Jr to head HHS etc) should have feared this outcome.
What an incongruous juxtaposition ...
Yeah, this is what we are dealing with.
Emphasize the man-BABY part of "White man-babies".
However, they don't help themselves by making excuses. Just don't. Your actions hurt others. Don't excuse yourselves with complaints about DEI, just don't. That's what whiny babies do, not mature adults.🤷🏻♀️
So we only need about 70 million more personal tragedies to have a functioning society.
"Be careful of what you wish for. You might get it."
"We are absolutely horrified at how mindlessly destructive this admin has been to scientific institutions. They are single-handedly destroying the STEM dominance the US established over decades."

"All the Lefty overreach was annoying as hell but the MAGA disdain for science is 100X worse."
"All the lefty overreach was annoying as hell but the MAGA disdain for science is 100X worse." Yes.
Perhaps not blaming libs for your ignorant votes may garner more sympathy.
You didn’t think it would be you…
Yeah, not exactly buying the sincerity here.

Join us. You were wrong. You have seen the light.
Many of us here are not very lefty, many are mainstream liberals or centrists, who believe in equality and fairness and hate MAGA.
Join us and fight.
Welcome back.
DEI and wokeness are a way to improve equality and fairness for all.
At the same time, DEI efforts can merely be legal cover, and also in some cases can be taken advantage of for self-serving reasons.
DEI efforts are vital but create a difficult balance.
Anus-tangerinus was pretty clear and did you really expect an idiot to believe in science ?
Come to University of Aix-en-Provence, France. They are hiring.
Wonderful city too.
I work in customer service b/c working in science is exclusive to people who are are related to White people or who don't disturb #WhiteSupremacy
NIH funded Trump voting scientists are evidence of how hostile the science field has been to BIPOC scientists
America is not great when America is not good.
