What’s the loss of a few million lives when proving a point takes priority? I was once a child refugee, surviving on USAID rations—without them, my family would have perished. I will never understand the deep-seated cruelty some people carry in their hearts.

Over the past 17 days, Donald Trump has unleashed a firehose of executive actions designed to overwhelm us, many of which are illegal or unconstitutional. Todd Beeton broke down the most egregious and looked at how Democrats and the courts are taking a stand against them for the Big Picture.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.
Update: They were removed from our reviewer assignments completely. I'm so sorry to all those graduate students. 

Anonymous to protect the identity of the NIH employee I spoke to...I am on study section next month to discuss F awards. We were just instructed to put the F31-Diversity applications on the bottom of our priority list for review because there is a chance we may not be able to review them. My heart is breaking for the grad students and their mentors that put so much work into these just for them to be disqualified and thrown out.

We must not forgot there are 8,400 people seeking asylum, here in the Australian community, who 12 years later are still in limbo. Families lawfully here who are unable to safely return to their home country. They need a pathway to permanency now. They have suffered enough, this injustice must end.

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!
