So sad to see great institutions that have historically protected the interests of the United States be destroyed by this Administration.
More signs posted today inside the State Department read:

"HISTORY WILL REMEMBER WHAT WAS LOST HERE"

"You have saved so many lives"

"IF YOU SAY YOU LOVE FREEDOM BUT DON'T CARE IF IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE THEN WHAT YOU REALLY LOVE IS PRIVILEGE"

It was a powerful and emotional sendoff and it meant a lot to staff.

ICE wears masks and refuses to show ID or warrants. Plainclothes officers snatch people off the street and take them away in unmarked vans. US Marines detain citizens. Man in police uniform shoots and kills elected lawmaker. US senator tackled and cuffed by Secret Service.
We are deeply damaged.

I paid my taxes today. Not that Elon needs any more of my money, and he’s fired most of the people who do the actual work, so I’m not sure -why- I’m paying taxes now, but I guess old habits die hard.

People think being small will keep them safe.

It won't.

The reason we know who Mahmoud Kahlil is is because he was loud. Do you think he's the only person the administration has tried to disappear? He's just one of the first we've noticed
I was interviewed this week for a major US news show. My interviewer asked me why so few of my colleagues are willing to talk.

It’s not just fear of losing funding, but of being singled out by a regime that wants to purge scientists from society.

That’s why I do speak out. I wish more people would
In 15 yrs of reporting, I've never had so many health & biomed researchers & outreach orgs tell me they're afraid to talk w/press or barred from speaking bc of new comms policies.

I understand the fear of losing funds. I don't know if silence does more harm than good. If you can speak up, pls do.

Sir Thomas More: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”

Roper: “Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!”

More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat?”
