Deriding kindness as "virtue signaling" foreshadowed a desire to punish virtue itself. * Do good science, lose your grant * Practice civic engagement in school, get abducted * Express yourself with peaceful protest, get run over * Serve the public as a government employee, get fired/threatened

What we are seeing now— ICE abductions of Muslim/Muslim-perceived grad students— is what you get when there is a convergence of imperialism, anti-intellectualism, and Xenophobia. Academia’s silence on these abductions is disappointing

Hearing more and more PhD programs are pausing admissions (including my alma mater). Absolutely terrible

This Minneapolis season of love is blind ending with two women saying no at the alter because of wishy-washy conservative politics from their fiancés…. Is very telling of the times and the deep gender divide

This is a critical detail I haven’t seen reported elsewhere. The physician will likely be protected by NY’s shield law—but the mother of the person who had an abortion is also being charged. To my knowledge, this is the first instance of criminalizing self-managed abortion since Roe was overturned.

I'm not sure how much people outside the science world understand what this means. NSF grants and fellowships are *extremely* competitive. These were already funded. It's not just new stuff being put on pause; awards already made have been frozen.

FYI, this is straight-up eugenics. There were lots of programs like this proposed in the 1930s that offered incentives and rewards to “good” (i.e. white and economically advantaged) communities to promote population growth among those groups and suppress it in others deemed less desirable.

Pronatalism and the eugenic policies that promote it are inextricably tied to white supremacy and preserving a white racial majority

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

The stories coming out of Africa over the next few months without PEPFAR are going to be gruesome. People will get sick; people will die. Someone has to tell their stories.

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

I was so lucky to have received this funding to support my PhD. Absolutely devastated for junior scientists who won’t have the same opportunity. BUT the real losers in all of this is the American public who will now be deprived of the innovative science that comes with diverse perspectives

PSA for cat owners in the US: cats have been contracting H5N1 (bird flu). They are very susceptible to it and the fatality rate for cats is 67%. To avoid it: -keep your cats indoors. They can catch it from infected birds and mice. -do not feed them raw dairy -do not feed them raw meat

The operative principle is not that political violence is not allowed. It is that it is allowed only by some actors, for some ends, and forbidden to others.
New York Times Breaking News push alert that reads: A former Marine who choked a homeless man on a New York City subway train last year was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide.

resolved: people who insist that all social media sites must be places where users are constantly encountering and arguing with people over fundamental disagreement do so because their actual, real lives are echo chambers where they do not encounter any meaningful difference from day-to-day.
