Our son is president of a commercial construction company. His idea for handling the whole DEI insanity is to change his internal committee acronym to DBA—Don’t be an Asshole. I think it could catch on ☺️

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Every one of us should be calling our Senators. Every day. Including Republicans — enough calls could make a difference.

Kamala Harris just arrived back in Los Angeles. She plans to distribute food to wildfire victims and meet with first responders. Governor Harris has a nice ring to it. Welcome home.

For thanksgiving, I am particularly grateful to my colleagues at the CDC and NIH - especially the Vaccine Research Center. These folks are true public servants, taking pay cuts to work for govt. 100% dedication to safety and innovation. They’ve been terribly maligned and it’s a grave injustice.

One Trump adviser said that the message to Republican senators had been, “If you are on the wrong side of the vote, you’re buying yourself a primary. That is all. And there’s a guy named Elon Musk who is going to finance it.” newrepublic.com/post/188697/...

Like others, I fear the threat of government retribution, political vengeance and an angry right-wing mob. But I know that giving into it will only strengthen Trump and undermine the future of our democracy. Trump wants us to be scared. He wants us to give up — gradually and then suddenly.
