Brazen-faced lying from Seymour here as its clear issues have NOT been sorted; 6wks in and we have frozen meals, flies, nutritionally inadequate meals, inedible meals fit only for pigs, all needing hours for work from teachers to sort out.

Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" has perhaps the most memorable opening line in all of Western literature: "I hope you motherfuckers like reading about whales"

This is a de facto massive budget cut to research universities. We are talking Great Recession size impacts.
⚠️ Effective Monday 2/10/25, NIH indirect rate capped at 15%. Applies to existing & future grants.
—> Deep budget cuts & program closures coming to a university near you.
Is this the break the glass moment for university administrators who have been silent so far about the attack on science?

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

This is what led to book bans targeting Toni Morrison and Maus at the state level. When you threaten people's jobs--or even imprisonment-- they will interpret you as broadly as possible
The White House didn't say "stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen when you do US history." The White House said "stop doing DEI and wokeness," and the military interpreted it as "stop saying the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes, and maybe stop teaching about them altogether."
Yeah, that's bad.
Yeah, that's bad.
Here's the thing about the Tuskegee Airmen history - there was nothing in the EO about it. Someone in the Air Force interpreted it that way -- which is far worse.
