Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights.

An old friend of mine has suffered a traumatic brain injury and is unable to continue their work as a community nurse in the Philly area. They, their partner, and their kid could really use some help right now, if you have anything to share.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Tonight has been a rollercoaster. You know when someone emails you something unexpected and you're like... you know what would be great? To have a panic attack right now?? That was the vibe over here.

If anyone has been in touch with press covering the NIH situation broadly (firings, funding freeze etc), please encourage them to cover the sinister way in which HHS is preventing grant review and funding from happening, by blocking posting to the Federal Register.

There is a great book called Buried By The Times about the NY Times and the Holocaust and the thesis basically is: “It’s not that the New York Times didn’t run any stories about the Holocaust, but they buried it on page A22 and wrote about it oblique ways and in ways that minimized it.”
