Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence. Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets. Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe. It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

This is important. The first 24 hours of press coverage fumbled the ball. But the US just murdered 11 people in international waters. Analogies to the US’s (highly suspect, morally and legally) targeted killings of suspect terrorists don’t work. This crossed their own lines, and they know it.

A1 above the fold in the @nytimes.com. The message is getting through. Keep pushing everyone. We can save the #CDC, save the #NIH from the clutches of #RussellVought #StephenMiller and #DonaldTrump. Keep the pressure up on your members of Congress and the media (letters to editors, op-eds).

A photograph of the front page of The New York Times dated September 2, 2025. The main headline reads: “In Blitz on Science, Experts Warn of an Autocratic Tilt.” Below it are two featured articles. The first, by Apoorva Mandavilli, is titled “C.D.C. Left Battling for Its Survival” and describes turmoil at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since Robert F. Kennedy Jr. became health secretary, leading to staff losses, leadership resignations, and questions about the agency’s legitimacy. The second article, by William J. Broad, is titled “Are Research Cuts Fighting Red Tape or Free Inquiry?” and discusses threats to science and research under political pressure.
