NEW: President Trump has filed a presidential action invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a seldom-used law that gives authority to deport. It's only the fourth time in American history a president has used the act — and the first since World War II. t.co/zqQbKxGRh7

Can science survive politics? Not without a fight, according to Kim Stanley Robinson. At UCLA last Thursday, Robinson discussed the war on science, fallout of defunding research, and why surrendering to cynicism is the greatest risk of all. His full seminar is out now.
The war on science is here. Kim Stanley Robinson says it’s just the beginning
Widely regarded as the greatest living sci-fi writer, he’s spent decades crafting visions of the future. Now, he warns that a real dystopia is unfolding.
