Scholars who aren’t actually at risk of bearing the repercussions of the current sociopolitical landscape are so terrified of the mere specter of censorship that they will end up censoring marginalized scholars more efficiently than the president ever could.

New: The Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to continue terminating NIH grants relating to DEI, gender identity, and COVID. It's a 5–4 decision, with Roberts joining the liberals in dissent. From Justice Jackson's dissent👇 www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
For a cautionary tale about lawmaking on the emergency
docket, look no further than this newest iteration. By
today’s order, an evenly divided Court neuters judicial
review of grant terminations by sending plaintiffs on a
likely futile, multivenue quest for complete relief. Neither
party to the case suggested this convoluted procedural
outcome, and no prior court has held that the law requires
it. But, in the view of the deciding vote, California compels
this conclusion. “So only another under-reasoned
emergency order undergirds today’s.” Trump v. Boyle, 606
U. S. ___, ___ (2025) (KAGAN, J., dissenting from grant of
application for stay) (slip op., at 2).
The Court also lobs this grenade without evaluating
Congress’s intent or the profound legal and practical
consequences of this ruling. Stated simply: With
potentially life-saving scientific advancements on the line,
the Court turns a nearly century-old statute aimed at
remedying unreasoned agency decisionmaking into a
gauntlet rather than a refuge. But we have no business
erecting a novel jurisdictional barrier to judicial review—
especially when it appears nowhere in the relevant statutes
and makes little sense. Because the Government’s
application should have been denied in full, I respectfully
dissent in part.
