The truth is that there is no ultimate refuge, because there is no ultimate escape from politcs. There is no bargain that can permanently remove the need to make a moral defence of minority rights. There are only short-term faustian pacts, which undermine that crucial struggle.

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined.
Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

More than a dozen migrants took sanctuary inside Philadelphia churches during the first Trump administration, the most of any city in the country.
Now that protection is gone.

ICE has been freed to make arrests at churches. More immigrants took sanctuary in Philadelphia than anywhere else.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.

As American journalists start writing about the Nazi salute that Elon Musk just gave twice on camera, it's essential that they contextualize it for readers as part of a years-long course of publicly embracing antisemitic politicians and causes.
They better not dare pretend this was a one-off event.
