I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Giving up your tiny bit of strength because you think if you don’t then the people destroying the world might do what they’re already doing.
Either way will be bad. Fight them!

DEMS: #MAGA has held Dems hostage long enough. Time to fight fire with fire. DO NOT give Trump/Musk more power to ravage your constituents. Let America see what they are willing to do to hardworking Americans to gain power. Let America see what YOU are willing to do to stop them. #RESIST

Trump turns White House lawn into car lot for megadonor Musk
It’s easy to get inured to the corruption, but hawking Teslas on the South Lawn was among the most obscene events in White House history.

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic
RFK Jr on the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause."
