Do you know what happens when graduate student funding is cut? Often, it means we ALL miss out on their new, promising ideas bc the project doesn’t go forward. Getting a grant like this is incredible! I’m so sorry this happened to you, Megan. Sorry for all of us who could have benefited.

With @dahlialithwick.bsky.social on the many implications—all horrifying—of the Trump administration reviving seemingly unconstitutional Red Scare–era laws to abduct and disappear Mahmoud Khalil, without due process, in retaliation against his protected speech. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I want to reiterate something you said, because it's deadly serious: No matter what you think of what Khalil said and did, he was charged with no crime. He was given no notice. He was simply taken from his home and disappeared.
And we have to be really, really afraid when there isn't even an attempt on the part of government lawyers to say there was a crime-when, instead, they simply hang everything on a dusty old statute and a dubious claim that we think he's dangerous to the United States.
Because if they're coming for that, they're coming for all of us.

This is who was fired from the union workforce at the Department of Education yesterday. Every single number is a person who served the nation and whose life was wrongly disrupted. That's the first tragedy, but it's clearly not the only one.

Really useful if you need to explain university finances. 60% of research money for overhead isn’t “siphoning,” it’s “budgeting.” Who do you think pays for heat & upkeep in university buildings? The people who specialize in grant payroll & admin so we can focus on the research? Our grants do.

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵
