Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

West Point leadership just disbanded and banned all clubs and organizations related to women, communities of color, and LGBTQ people — on orders from Trump. Cadets are also not authorized to take part in informal activities related to these clubs on campus.

Hey, guess what has suddenly disappeared from the HHS website?
Any mention of this $306M investment in pandemic flu preparedness that was approved in the last days of the Biden administration.
Not DEI. Not USAID. Our surveillance & response program around H5N1.

The National Association of Evangelicals — not exactly a leftist hotbed — describes as “devastating news” State’s halt to refugee support and says the demolishment of USAID has cut “critical foreign aid funding”

So this is how this DOJ will operate. Actions and beliefs are deemed CRIMINAL if they are not in line with this Administration’s beliefs and platform.There is no criminal penalty for supporting or even continuing to apply DEIA principles.This is a muscle job. Corporations must stiffen their spines.

The lengths to which the American press is going to describe Donald Trump's Gaza plan in every other way but as ethnic cleansing is quite something

Musk is calling USAID “evil” and saying it must die.
Trump is suddenly interested in cutting off funding to South Africa.
For those wondering why the sudden focus on this, might we suggest digging into the role USAID played in ending apartheid? —> adst.org/2021/06/amer...

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

This is illegal. Neither Donald Trump nor Elon Musk has the authority to eliminate USAID; only an act of Congress can do that.
Lawsuits are underway and we are doing oversight to try to stop this.

The thing with Trump saying something outrageous is the media completely loses sight of anything else. Focus is completely on “DEI,” no mention of FAA director getting sacked and downgrading of aviation safety committee, etc. It’s a win for him, every time

I will also add that people in Congress are not volunteers. They are being paid. They have health insurance. They have retirement. They have ONE JOB—to serve their constituents. And if they cannot figure out how to push back politically they don't deserve to be in office.

I'm not sure how much people outside the science world understand what this means.
NSF grants and fellowships are *extremely* competitive. These were already funded. It's not just new stuff being put on pause; awards already made have been frozen.

It’s official: all funding requests made on Tuesday by postdocs for their salaries have been unilaterally rejected by NSF.
