This will be in tomorrow's Border Update but deserves its own separate post:

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

They're here legally. They have SSNs, a driver's license, jobs cleaning hotels. They gave immigration officials their address. On Monday, federal agents took them from their home in handcuffs as their children screamed @teoarmus.bsky.social @mariasacchetti.bsky.social Steve Thompson

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.

There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

We need the media to say what DEI is: DEI means Nword and Nword in this usage means anyone that isn’t a white hetero male. They keep using acronyms to soften their racism. Make them say what DEI means with their chest. Just ask them to explain DEI. It’s easy: what does DEI mean in this instance?
