Can we just be explicit about what universities are doing that is irritating the M@g@ followers so much:

We are “blatantly indoctrinating students” in the use of scientific findings to support their rationale and shape their thought process.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Remember when Mufasa was ruling the pridelands and everything was amazing and happy and then Scar took over and immediately turned it into a wasteland where everyone was poor and starving?

Just wondering...

Maybe the federal government should try holding themselves to the same standards that they hold grant recipients to…🤔
The image depicts a snip from a NOA that states “Recipients must administer the project in compliance with federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, and comply with applicable conscience protections. The recipient will comply with applicable laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, which includes discrimination on the basis of gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy. “

I can’t help thinking that if the president were a woman, the judiciary wouldn’t be quite so fond of deference to the executive.

After ruling, with anger in his voice, Judge Young:

"This represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against America's LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so."

Stay tuned. More to come.

Judge Young ruled narrowly today since he did not have time to justify broader rulings. But I don't think he has any uncertainty about where the law and justice fall on these cases.

This is incredible! But what does it mean for us that had NIH grants terminated? What about red states?

Judge Young was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1984. Here he excoriates the Trump Administration's termination of grants at NIH. This is just the start of a process. But it is ground-breaking and good news for today.

Over 500k veterans and 2½︎ million senior citizens rely on Meals on Wheels.

The program costs around $3.7M and comes from taxpayer’s money.

His $92M North Korean style military vanity birthday parade could fund Meals on Wheels for nearly 30 years.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...
Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.
Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards

In short, if you had to choose between saving lives and improving human life or locking people up because they don’t look like you, the administration has chosen the torture and degrade option.

ICE is seeking $45 billion to expand immigrant detention. If approved, it could amount to a sixfold increase in spending for migrant detention.

So anyway, this idea that chromosomes and hormones match to a body that is the right body for a specific sports category is deeply unhinged and wildly disconnected from the fact that there is wide genetic diversity within assigned genders and trans girls do not magically uniquely have any advantages

The Trump regime has spent $40 MILLION to house 400 migrants in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in its first month. Currently there are only 105 there. Talk about wasteful spending!

Talked with @andersoncooper360.bsky.social about what is, and what IS NOT, DEI. And what Trump & his confederates are trying to accomplish with erasing the accomplishments of non-white people, women and LGBTQ people.
