What is the quickest way to destroy science?
- Discredit and demean expertise.
- Spread misinformation from official sources.
- Aggressively defund research
- Tie funding to ideological stances
- Threaten scientists with retribution and cultivate fear.
- Eliminate diversity of thought and ideas.

Anyway, this is bullshit. It’s using intimidation to derail a merit-based process & exert political control over scientific findings, partly because some butthurt contrarians had papers rejected.

Journals must fight back against scientific censorship.

It's not relevant whether Abrego Garcia has committed thousands of crimes. Disappearing him off to an El Salvadorean maximum security prison *without due process* is wholly illegal totalitarian bullshit. Everyone who has been sent there by this administration should be brought back, not just him.
