Sigh. I legitimately expected to never have to worry about measles at the beginning of my career in infectious diseases. Since then I have learned a lot more re: the persistence of the anti-vaccine movement and the growing anti-expert sentiment in the US 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s clearly not about the loss of government funding but about institutions being driven by fear, opportunism, and conformity. Shows of artists of color are being canceled even when they’re not government-funded or when artists offer to bring in their own funding hyperallergic.com/992860/art-m...

We were in organic chemistry lab when a police officer walked through and said "get out". Then a fireman walked through the same way and said, "he's not kidding. Get out of the building.". We left. The entire building was shut down over a gallon sized bottle of picric acid that had crystalized.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

Reminder: there is nothing feminist about transphobia. There is no “protection” of women in demonizing our trans community. And there is no way forward for a society that pretends to care about one group by hating another.

You say: they shutdown USAID. You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.
