NSF's Social, Behavioral and Economic Directorate has awarded only 16 grants since October. No big budget cuts went through. No freeze. The courts have acted to keep funds flowing at every turn. The money just isn't going out. Why...? 1/x source: grant-witness.us/funding_curv... 🟦🧠 #academicsky
A line graph showing awards over time at NSF's SBE. The line for this year, 2026, is extremely FLAT compared to prior years. By this time in 2025, 179 grants had been awarded. In 2021, it was 243. This year... 16.

While I don't disagree, I also have a new paper coming out soon that shows that when you tell people what "defund the police" actually means (i.e., move money from police to social services), there is much higher support for it.

The thing is, the reason we don't trust conservatives in sociology is because the empirical evidence rarely supports conservative viewpoints. The reason many sociologists are "liberal" is not because we are ideologues; it is because we follow the evidence.

SCOTUS right now.
A two-panel meme using a cartoon flower character. In the top panel, the flower is angrily yelling, with the caption: "WHEN A BAKER IS ASKED TO MAKE A CAKE FOR A GAY COUPLE." In the bottom panel, the same flower is smiling calmly, with the caption: "WHEN PEOPLE ARE BLACK BAGGED AND SENT TO A CONCENTRATION CAMP IN EL SALVADOR." The meme contrasts public outrage over LGBTQ+ rights with apathy toward human rights abuses.

A Supreme Court Justice who rules that President Biden can’t forgive student loan debt without an act of Congress, and rules that President Trump and Not An Official Position Musk can cancel any Congressionally-enacted spending they personally dislike, that Justice clearly isn’t ruling based on law.

It was bound to come, but we just got the official email from NIJ saying that we cannot collect gender identity information on our project on anti-LGBTQ violence. Luckily, we just wrapped data collection, so we're in the clear. But how is this not a violation of the 1st amendment?

People are dying because Trump illegally cut off foreign aid. He’s purging civil servants and law enforcement officers deemed insufficiently loyal. He unilaterally suspended Medicaid and froze trillions in funding. All of this is unlawful! And Democrats are … touting areas of bipartisan compromise?
