I have a confession

I was an “overhead cost”.
I was a beaker washer, agar plate pourer, research secretary. I was paid by “overhead cost” fees. Loved it.
Those “overhead cost” jobs allowed this rural kid to become a physician.

Holding child protection hostage to attack LGBTQ+ kids.
Vile monstrous nazi shit

NEW — I spoke to a staffer at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) about DOJ's threat to pull funding if the org didn't comply with Trump's DEI executive order, and how org leadership rolled over.
"Rather than fight back, we chose to sacrifice trans children," they said.

Missing children’s org removes LGBTQIA+ materials per Trump DOJ demand
A staffer at NCMEC confirms the distressing effort to comply with Trump's executive order.

Just learned from NPR that the federal government is the largest employer in the great Kansas City area, for example. I found it helpful to be reminded that, of course, this isn’t just about people who work and live in DC. Federal employees are in all of our communities.

Under fascism, no one is safe.
Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.
Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.
Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I think an unhealthy number of people still see the fascism and the dying empire of it all as a meme in some way, rather than as our immediate reality with extremely high stakes. Like even when they don't really intend to.

The lesson the American left should learn from the S. Korean protests is that racism enables American authoritarianism more than anything else.
The psychological wages of whiteness are a real currency white people of a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds are willing to be paid in.

So one of the reasons South Korea is a healthier democracy is that it’s a relatively homogeneous country and racism can’t be used as an effective tactic for attacking democracy. The psychological wages of whiteness in the US are a key reason authoritarian attacks on democracy in the US succeed
South Korea is an healthier democracy than some other powerful old democracies.
That actions have consequences, even for the most powerful, is truly the basis. The minimum for a democracy.

There's no "controversy" over The Witcher 4, it's just gotten picked up in what is now a cottage industry of YouTube-based outrage content farming by people who have zero actual investment in or understanding of the things they cover multiple times a day, every day
