It's more than a little bizarre that the press was more vocal and judgmental about Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal than the current unscheduled rapid disassembly of our entire democracy and civil service.

The U.S. government has put up a submission form for reporting schools who teach kids about “DEI.” It accepts file uploads. Internet, you know what to do enddei.ed.gov

absolutely shameful that not a single university in the US has matched costco's energy in saying no thanks to the rank, bigoted and illegal executive orders issued by new self appointed king of the USA

Just got this passed on to us, about the damage at NIH's home campus -- the largest biomedical research institute in the world. "The articles on cuts and damage assessments are largely grants focused. The grants program is a bit easier to characterize because it’s visible outside the NIH..." 🧪 1/

A president rapidly sundowning into full-blown dementia ambiguously handed power over the entire government to a delusional billionaire drug addict in a made-up illegal quasi-office and the Cabinet is split over whether their departments have to listen to his mad orders. It's day 34.

Any university still using X and promoting it on its web site is making a mockery of "institutional neutrality."

From a source at NIH, some grants may be nixed because the investigator’s bio sketch mentions DEI-related activities, even if the science itself has nothing to do with it.

Junior scientists in the US are facing a shit-sandwich. If you have the financial means, apparently the Undergraduate Research Center is running a crowdfunding campaign to support the next generation of researchers. I donated, maybe you can too. crowdfund.ucdavis.edu/URC

Well done Maine Governor Janet Mills, slapping Trump down with “See you in court!” This is how you do it, stand up to the bully. Trump threatens all her state’s federal funding if she doesn’t comply with his EO on trans people playing sports. He ends with personal insults. Of course.

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.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Four FEMA officials were fired for not following illegal orders to withhold spending. The White House is saying of judicial decisions: "These unlawful injunctions are a continuation of the weaponization of justice against President Trump." These are not warning signs. This is happening now.

I really wish reporting would stop faithfully citing this “pause and review” line at agencies experiencing impoundment. Every previous administration reviewed programs. The difference is they still executed the law. Pausing spending for “review” is not a thing.

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

HHMI just cancelled our grant. We were in the second year of developing programs to retain students from all backgrounds in STEM. All that work, all that energy…..I am profoundly disappointed. Well-funded HHMI labs, what do you think of dismantling funding for these training programs?

Many scientists upset with HHMI's decision to stop funding and scrub websites of a program that promoted inclusive evidence and helped diversify STEM. The are listed as the second wealthiest philanthropic organization in the U.S. with an endowment of $22B. Private philanthropy will not save science.
