His definition of "sex" has no real grounding in science. It's just biblical notions dressed up in science-y terms.

Many Americans UNDER-estimate racial inequality in US (see work by @mwkraus.bsky.social @jaricheson.bsky.social et al) In reality, racial disparities are still HUGE, with little improvement. (see below) equitablegrowth.org/examining-th... #PrejudiceResearch #racism

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Love the suggestion that Democrats should hold daily briefings for the press-- @petebuttigieg.bsky.social would be great at this. If Trump does not want to talk to @apnews.com, he is missing out, and Democrats should fill the void.

The silence of our colleagues who work at NIH is deafening. I hope y’all have noticed that they haven’t chimed in for awhile (at least not in any substantial way). Not because they don’t care about what’s happening, no doubt. It’s because they don’t feel they can. Yikes!

NEW: Under the Trump administration, the Office for Civil Rights has shifted its focus to removing gender-neutral bathrooms, banning transgender athletes from women’s sports and prioritizing complaints alleging discrimination against white students.

The tech bros can't wrap their head around the fact that many (most) federal jobs are, in fact, more important than tech jobs. When you lay off federal workers, people can die.

Yes. Important for all NIH people and scientists: The executive orders are not law. The President cannot make laws. And in fact, executive orders may violate the law. As a federal employee, you are obligated not to follow illegal orders. That includes illegal EOs.

Some higher ed organizations who are loudly circling the wagons against federal funding cuts were oddly silent or circumspect about the earlier attacks on CRT and DEI. I wish there was a better understanding that these attacks are coming because we failed to repel those.

Even with how blatant this power grab is, I'm astonished at how much we're still seeing this conversation: them: we want to strip you of equal rights and opportunities us: please may we have equal rights and opportunities? "moderates": surely there is a middle ground between these two extremes 🙄

I removed the ID of the posters but at what point do we have a moral imperative here? I would not want to participate in a process that explicitly discriminated against minorities. If the applications aren’t reviewed they are basically rejected no? Pull out of the reviews.
