It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

So I've wiped and deactivated my account and uninstalled the X/Twitter app on all my devices. Don't know why I waited so long. I won't give any semblance of support to someone so hell bent on destruction.

The United States built the largest and most fruitful scientific enterprise the world has ever seen, acquiring great prosperity and stability as a result. And now fascists are tearing it all down. Censoring scientists, deleting data, purging institutions. A tremendous loss.
