Incisive analysis. History matters.

Hakeem Jefferson @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social · Apr 23
A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond.

I hope you’ll read and share the piece.

The destruction of the future of science

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

This "immediate cancellation" violates the law. If the Admin thinks Columbia has violated Title VI by being deliberately indifferent to antisemitic harassment, it has to give Columbia a chance for a hearing first, make findings on the record, & wait 30 days.

"tree equity" is the kind of thing that columnists like to make fun of when why it works is actually instantly apparent to anyone who's ever walked down a street in the summer apnews.com/article/tree...
$75 million was awarded to plant trees in places that badly need them. In anti-DEI push, that's over

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

This is how DOGE is making our government *less* efficient. Firing the people who conduct the benefit-cost analysis of transportation grants will cause worse decisions. It's penny wise, pound foolish. Their salaries are tiny compared to what they can do to deliver cost savings.

Our military will soon be asked to make a very stark choice. There will be mass unrest in this country as these disastrous changes take effect. Trump will invoke the insurrection act at some point. You will be ordered to inflict violence on your fellow citizens. Think through this before it happens.

This Wall Street Journal video about the cost of military deportation flights is one of the wildest things I've seen in a while.

It cost $2.8 million—with 2 in-air refuelings!—to deport 104 people to India on February 4.

$27,000 per deported person.
