Last night, the ADL took down its "Glossary of antisemitism" which included an entry for the term "globalist," describing it as a far-right codeword for Jews.
Hours later, the official DHS account authors a post with a common far-right meme, saying that "globalists" will be denied entry to the US.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Researchers did not mince words about this purge of senior NIH leadership:
“This will go down as one of the darkest days in modern scientific history in my 50 years in the business,” says @mtosterholm.bsky.social.
These cuts come on Jay Bhattacharya's first day as NIH director.

I really don't care much what anyone thinks the exact right label is to describe where we are. This is outrageous and acutely dangerous. They are disappearing people in broad daylight for nothing but political speech. If this isn't a frontal assault on the rule of law and free democracy, what is?
