The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

One year ago we became homeowners 🥺 In the hellish landscape we are. I am thankful I am providing Fluorine with a place to grow happy and carefree. I love you @ehellemann.bsky.social always together as partners ❤️

This well-referenced page includes personal stories from those terminated, with links to share your story. Congressman Ro Khanna and the House Science Committee are surveying the impact of these cuts.

In April 2014 I visited @ehellemann.bsky.social in Pittsburgh. He had just started gradschool at CMU. I was aiming to start gradschoom in August 2015. I emailed a professor a UPitt to chat and get to know the program.When I walked into that meeting I found someone in 100% interview mode 🧪⚛️🥼 #chemsky

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1

SCOOP: The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, arguably the nation's most powerful scientific organization, is bending to political pressure and removing terms like "health equity" from pending reports. Members are not happy. Story by me: www.statnews.com/2025/02/20/n...

Today is a good day to do something tangible to remind someone being targeted by the thugs currently running our government that they belong here & that you have their back.

Alright I’m back. This is a really disingenuous characterization of the situation. So first, yes the primary source of avian influenza are ducks and geese. Who have pretty big migration patterns making it fairly easy to spread virus far and wide.
