BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Spitting FIRE holy shit 🔥
A series of tweets from Politico senior legal affairs reporter Kyle Cheney:

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

YOUNG: "I am hesitant to draw this conclusion, but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it – that this represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That’s what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out."

MORE YOUNG: "It is palpably clear that these directives and the set of terminated grants here also are designed to frustrate, to stop, research that may bear on the health – we’re talking about health here, the health of Americans, of our LGBTQ community. That’s appalling."

YOUNG still going: "I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable. I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this ... I ask myself, how can this be?"

"I have the protection that the founders wrote into the constitution, along with imposing upon me a duty to speak the truth in every case. I try to do that. What if I didn’t have those protections. What if my job was on the line, my profession... Would I have stood up against all this? Would I have said, 'you can’t do this?' You are bearing down on people of color because of their color. The constitution will not permit that."

"Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?"

It’s not “efficient” for a 21-year-old Elon Musk crony to have access to the sensitive personal data of every single American paying into Social Security. This reeks of corruption to benefit Trump-friendly Palantir while risking Social Security info for millions.

After ruling the NIH grant terminations illegal, Judge Young ended the hearing with an eye-opening speech. “This represents racial discrimination, and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so.”

We've seen exactly the same thing happen when it comes to human trafficking, a very similar topic. The discussions have focused for so long on framing it as a race and immigration issue that the majority of offenders, and victims, white British, are ignored. That cannot be allowed to happen again.

A huge, practical, issue, aside from increasing division and playing to far-right rhetoric, about focusing on the race of offenders is that this is what the whole focus becomes. It allows the majority of abusers to go under the radar. We need to focus on abusers as abusers, regardless of race.

FFS. The findings for years have been clear with child sexual abuse in general the only group overrepresented compared to proportion of population is white, British, the group who also make up vast majority of grooming gangs. Call out the abusers. You don't need to play to the racists when doing it.
Home secretary discusses findings of report - including ethnicity data
published at 15:53

Turning to the findings of the most recent report - led by Baroness Louise Casey - Cooper says they are damning.
Casey has found a "deep-rooted failure to treat children as children" and to protect children and teenage girls from rape and "scars that last a lifetime".
There have been deep-rooted institutional failures "stretching back decades", Cooper says. Even good, but misdirected intentions, played a part in this collective failure, she adds.
Cooper then says that in some of the data, there had been an over-representation of suspects of Asian heritage.
Officials often avoided the topic for fear of being labelled racist, Cooper says.
