“Consultants” advised Democratic politicians to not name and challenge the racism and sexism that Trump used on voters during the 2024 election. Democrats largely did so. Trump’s bigotry won. Since the election, the same “consultants” have advised the same losing strategy. 1/2

I don't know what to tell higher education. You can't both be "committed to democracy and intellectual freedom" and bending to the whims of authoritarians to "preemptively avoid fall out." At that point, you're just selling a mission you have no intention or capability of delivering on.

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1/

Yes. Important for all NIH people and scientists: The executive orders are not law. The President cannot make laws. And in fact, executive orders may violate the law. As a federal employee, you are obligated not to follow illegal orders. That includes illegal EOs.

Yes. Also, NIH itself has stopped recruitment of PhD students, postbacs, and postdocs at all its campuses. The nat'l recruitment cycle is closing, everyone will be done soon. It's already a lost year of talent coming in to do great science at NIH. Damage to 🧪 is real. (Story linked below, see 🧵.)

"Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do." -Timothy Snyder, Historian

@bennet.senate.gov Can you please clarify your plan to ensure that Colorado research hospitals and universities will receive their full funding from NIH grants? How do you plan to stop this administration from overriding the law? Demanding answers is not enough. #LawSky #MedSky #AcademiaSky
