Dad of two young girls here and I was already a feminist but still shocked by how much the boys are coddled and how the girls are expected to accommodate their behavior even in grade school

The high sticker price of colleges is clearly one thing driving resentment. This says nothing about educational quality at all. Makes me sick www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/b...

I would never presume to lecture a computer scientist on how to teach their material, as I am unqualified. This computer scientist should not pontificate about teaching subjects where he is unqualified. Teaching about race is political. Full stop. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/o...

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

Nature reports that the NSF has stopped funding awardees entirely, “until further notice”. This administration is determined to destroy the country’s scientific research infrastructure by choking off funding and taking a wrecking ball to the merit review system.

NEW: Starting May 5, NSF will implement an across-the-board 15% indirect cost rate (mirroring policies at DOE, NIH) Also, NSF staff expect 341 additional terminations today, bringing the total number of terminations to ~1,380.

This sucks, reading to my daughter is an absolute joy. Also you can literally see her language acquisition in real time because she repeats what we read out loud and points out the same things on the page each time too. Repetition repetition repetition, it's cool as hell.

Probably every single woman in science in the United States under the age of 50 has been positively impacted by the NSF ADVANCE program in some way. As I hear stories of ADVANCE cancellations, it's hard to really fully grasp the tremendous damage the end of that one program is doing. 🧪

Unhappy to confirm that the entire Historical Advisory Committee at the State Department received termination notices this afternoon (myself included). The HAC, set up by Congress, oversees the office that produces the FRUS series. history.state.gov/about/hac/in... 1/

AMENDMENT: You can’t take away a benefit that workers have earned and paid into. That’s what Republicans are trying to do right now. @repyassansari.bsky.social is fighting to maintain the retirement supplement that civil servants have ALREADY PAID FOR.

NEH Grantees with Terminated Grants--the 30 day window for appeal is almost here. If your DOGE termination letter is dated April 2, then it is recommended to submit via eGMS by May 1. Having spoken w/ a number of sources, here's the best info I could gather on appealing your grant termination.

Nearly 800 NIH grants have been terminated so far, including some focused on HIV and AIDS, trans health, and COVID-19, after researchers were told their work was no longer an agency priority. https://cbsn.ws/3YkDndI

yesterday, my postdoc funding (salary and research funds) was cancelled by the National Science Foundation, effective immediately. I received the same generic, vaguely threatening, typo-ridden email as many of my colleagues who have had their awards terminated recently. (1/n)

Devastated for all who worked to make Journeys the incredible force it has been, the fierce cohorts of those who came through it in the past, and those who won’t get to benefit from it now. But it’ll be back. Thank you @sbmitche.bsky.social @jlpweeks.bsky.social and everyone at Journeys.

My NSF was officially terminated “Beyond the Myth: Political Geography, Electoral Institutions, and the Evolution of Women’s Voting Patterns in Rich Democracies” I’ve been collecting historical data on the gender turnout and preference gaps after suffrage using old ass books…

This is a great article from @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social that he should not have needed to write. I long for the day when race scholars don’t have to respond to people who have no clue what they are talking about, but nonetheless feel free to pontificate. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

Indiana University Professor Ben Robinson--who was also arrested and sanctioned re: last spring's protests--is now being investigated under the state's "intellectual diversity" law. It started with an anonymous internal complaint, which the university escalated. Now, his tenure is in jeopardy.

President Trump just fired almost the entire staff of the CFPB, who protect you from getting scammed by Wall Street. This is another assault on consumers and our democracy by Trump's lawless Administration. We will fight back with everything we've got.
