Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

🧵I think we need to talk about waves hands wildly in all directions differently. I see 3 goals: -Dismantling democracy+systems of accountability -Advancing white supremacist policies here+abroad -Immiserating non-billionaires for financial gain Each action is toward those one/all of those goals.

Hey if anyone is considering backing up any datasets for some reason today, the Open Science Framework has free storage up to 5G/private repository, and up to 50G/public repository. (The OSF is run by a 501c3 (Center for Open Science), so if you do this you might also consider making a donation.)

The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

This is really good. A lot of you will be looking for something tangible you can do to protect those who are targeted by state kidnappers. I really like the idea of neighborhood ICE watches.

President Biden is at the Port of Baltimore today, announcing $3B from the IRA to electrify ports. Ships & vehicles around ports burn fossil fuels, which makes pollution, which makes people who live nearby sick. This stops that, & cuts GHGs.
