Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs. It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎

On Nov. 7th, I told my sociolinguistics students this was going to happen. They did an activity on language policy and one of the lessons was that repressive regimes always try to criminalize languages that are not ideologically associated with nationalism. I’m sorry I was right.

This is terrible. Having no official language (with English de facto) at least left some room for other languages. Consequences can be horrific

On #InternationalMotherLanguageDay, I'm highlighting the 227 sign languages listed in Glottolog 5.1: glottolog.org/resource/lan... I'd also like to point out that many deaf children do not have access to their national/local deaf community sign language: this is a linguistic human rights emergency.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

Here's a very helpful post by Dick Aslin about indirect costs and the impact of the Project 2025 cap of 15% for these costs on NIH grants. As a current (and hopeful future) NIH grant-holder, this immediate incision in my funding will seriously impair research. dickaslin.substack.com/p/are-we-pay...

This is devastating for higher education and scientific research across the country. We are already facing severe budget problems and this robs universities of funds, potentially destroying critical research.

Interpretation for the non-scientists: When faculty get NIH grants, the University gets some extra cash to make sure the research is supported. NIH just cut that $$ by a LOT. That means Unis are less likely to support research. Most research in the US is done at Unis, so... it's bad 🧪

Heart goes out to those affected by the plane / helicopter crash in DC, particularly the young figure skaters. Every time I land at DCA I remember the crash in 1982. From now on I’ll have two crashes to remember. 🖤

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.

After joining (part of) the #TISLR15 livestream and seeing some pix on IG, I am feeling disappointed not to be there in person 😢 Hope the rest of the conference goes well for all attending in person and online!

Language policies are always about social hierarchy. This argument is that ASL should not exist. It’s not only wildly discriminatory and linguistically misinformed, it’s also a call for the eradication of every language and variety except for whatever this guy thinks is “good English”.
