Good shit

Call out to all the Republicans who have posed for photo ops with Zelensky: Is today the day to finally speak out? Patriotism demands it.

I like the idea of using this portal to submit praise for public schools.

Read this inspiring article on my Stony Brook colleagues in the Department of Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies and their fierce commitment to doing the work in the spirit of resistance: sbstatesman.com/133028/news/...

1. UPDATE The NIH is still blocking most ongoing scientific funding over concerns about DEI, according to NIH sources and internal NIH correspondence. The freeze has continued even after top NIH officials acknowledged that continuing to block the funding would violate a federal court order.

BULWARK TIPLINE—we want to hear from scientists, federal employees, anybody who needs anonymity to share stories that deserve to be reported: thebulwark.com/tips

BREAKING On Monday, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of 2 federal court orders On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.

This is how this all comes to a head. Open defiance of the judicial branch by the executive = authoritarianism.

Hi, scientists. You're seeing what we all are: USAID illegally blown up, 20 yr olds dumping code into the Treasury's seven-trillion-dollar payment system, Senators and House members joining protests at Treasury today... It's a lot. It's a national crisis. What should you do now? 🧵 🧪 1/x

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

This me.

Meanwhile, on Long Island this shit stain won't lower the flags to honor former president Carter.

Me, as a post doc.

Actual “cancelling” is going on in the same damn city — and all over Texas, Florida, and countless other public university systems — and @60minutes.bsky.social is reporting this in a bad infomercial for a fake university. Great media we have here.

And now he's positioned to run the government into the ground.

“Intellectual diversity is essentially a fake problem that is used to create cover for ideologically committed, far-right faculty who are not intellectually honest.” Craig Campbell, UT anthropology professor. www.austinchronicle.com/news/2024-11...

We have to hope these grifters are so incompetent that they are unable to manage anything, let alone the undermining of HHS. Incidentally, Prasad, Makary, and Bhattacharya's ideas are so unassailable that they had to block me on twitter for scrutinizing their bullsh*t.
