We in the U.S are not on the brink of a constitutional crisis nor are we headed toward an authoritarian coup. Both are here now.

Today in American science is fucked news:
A couple of blues or whatever they call toots on Bilesky.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I'm editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

When researchers cannot engage in legitimate scientific discourse out of fear that the government will strip away their livelihoods, we no longer live in a society that values freedom, truth, or progress.

Als een journalist Van der Plas, Wiersma of Vermeer er mee weg laat komen dat verkleining van de veestapel gevaarlijk is vanwege de voedselzekerheid, verzaakt die journalist zijn plicht aan de samenleving. Breek de frames van klompenfascisten, bevestig ze niet. Hulde aan: www.ftm.nl/artikelen/ho...

Politici van de BoerBurgerBeweging waarschuwen dat krimp van de veestapel de (internationale) voedselzekerheid bedreigt. Klopt dat wel? Uit een analyse van Follow the Money blijkt het tegenovergesteld...

👏🏻👠 Via Anna Bower: A Skadden attorney resigned today, citing the firm’s decision to strike a deal with #Trump amid pressure campaign on law firms. “[I]f my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them,” the […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Skadden Resignation
Today the executive partner of my former firm sent us all an
"update" that attempted to convince some of the best minds in the legal profession that he did us a solid by capitulating to the Trump administration's demands for fealty and protection money. Fellow Skadden attorneys: If you agree with Jeremy London's position that the firm should not engage in "illegal DEl discrimination," should devote prestigious Skadden Fellows to the Trump administration's pet projects, and should help "politically disenfranchised groups who have not historically received legal representation from major national law firms," (taking into account the robust pro bono work that major national law firms already do), then by all means continue working there. But if that email struck you as a craven attempt to sacrifice the rule of law for self-preservation, I hope you do some soul-searching over the weekend and join me in sending a message that this is unacceptable (in whatever way you can). As one of my more eloquent former colleagues put it:
"Do not pretend that what is happening is normal or excusable. It isn't."
There is only one acceptable response from attorneys to the Trump administration's demands: The rule of law matters.
The rule of law matters. As an attorney, if my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them.
