I saw someone break down DEI to the opposite; Diversity - opposite is uniformity; Equity - opposite is bias,discrimination, and injustice; Inclusion - opposite is exclusion So when you say you are against DEI then you are for uniformity, discrimination and exclusion. Hope that helps

I was reminded again this morning that I put my foot in my mouth and am too stupid to remember not to comment cause it’s always taken wrong. Silence is better

Im so intrigued by the fact that even now the NYT cannot simply say "Trump lies" but instead "Trump uses lies" in the lede/text. Writers know the difference, even if casual readers won't.

Spines spotted. Rare commodity in science these days.

Important thread. As Sara Ahmed states “When you expose a problem you pose a problem”.

We actually need need nuclear energy specialists? Who knew? ⚛️ 🧪

We always knew they were going to find a fool/coward to dismiss the Adams charges. But 7 attorneys with integrity first said No, not on my watch. That's who we have to be. We have to keep saying No. We have to be ungovernable. Hochul should've found her spine. She didn't. But 7 attys did.

They have no shame. Zero.

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

🧪The judge has asked the 22 states to file a report in 24 hours, and then every two weeks, confirming they are getting their money.

Nice example for the uninitiated--putting the NIH impact in relatable terms (vs. "Universities now won't have enough money from the feds to enable us egghead science types to run our brainiac studies and experiments")... 🛟 medsky policysky health policy 🧪sociology polisky lawsky 📉 academicsky

Nah. 99% of the DEI- hate is anti Blackness. It’s Black people who are smarter than yall —— deeply upset you because we had to do MORE to get to where you are and we PASSED you- sometimes easily due to actual having RESILIENCE yall don’t possess. Stop making this shit about white women. 👀🧪

Read this whole thread about how segregation is being enacted at the NIH This will have life and death consequences for communities of color that depend on interlocutors from our communities that do science with our well-being in mind 🧪

This thread is devastating yet helpful in understanding the reasons for which institutions are wildly unlikely to step up against the assault on science thats currently underway 🧪#AcademicSky

Days before Trump retook the oval office, HHS released a report slamming private equity investment for its role in declining healthcare quality and access, detailing staffing cuts and deceptions that put patients in danger. My latest for The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
