„Anyone who has studied science under the Nazis, as I did for my book Serving the Reich, cannot fail to be dismayed and alarmed at the parallels in the response so far of scientific institutions and academies to the purges and abuses of power following Trump’s executive orders“ 🧪
Scientific institutions have a long history of anticipatory obedience
Societies should learn from this and speak up to support inclusion

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

The words “big balls” appear nowhere in the constitution so it’s hard to see how there’s a serious legal argument against letting a teenage incel have the nuclear codes.

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.

We are in completely new and extremely dangerous seas. The richest man on the ship has taken the helm, and he is determined to wreck it. This disregard for the Constitution, the laws, and all our political traditions (*even the corrupt ones!*) can only lead to catastrophe. The republic is broken.
