youtu.be/UOW2hF2fBqI The amazing CROI keynote from activist Rebecca Denison. Worth every minute you will spend watching it, every minute you spend reflecting on how far we have come in combatting HIV/AIDS, and every second of the horror that dawns contemplating how MAGA is destroying that progress

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants. History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well. 🧵

I just signed the first bill of the year: lowering costs for small grain buyers. Prosperity for our ag community is not a partisan issue. I’m glad to see legislators come together in a bipartisan way to get this done.

The Supreme Court decision should have been 9-0. The fact it was 5-4 reveals how utterly compromised the bench is in favor of right-wing authoritarianism.

In Hitler’s Germany: Every institution of higher learning had to shape itself in harmony with the Reich’s social, political and racial ideals. There was no place on the staff for people who didn’t conform. Ring any bells with Trump’s USA: axing of DEI, research grants that don’t conform etc??

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.” University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.
