Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

UPDATE: We have data on >1000 terminated #NSF grants at grant-watch.us. Thanks to all who have been contributing data the past few days.
We've also added a "Reports" section with some analyses. For NSF, we see that the STEM education directorate has been absolutely pummeled.

"Research programs based on gender identity are often unscientific"
What a disgrace how one of the leading scientific institutions in the county doesn't stand behind its own prior assessment of what's scientific and readily bows down to the revisionist agenda of bigots at the helm.

These people have spent years saying the cancellation of college lectures was a slippery slope to totalitarianism. Now that marginalized minorities are losing their rights — literally the Niemöller poem — it's just an oopsie with no broader implications.

The right wing attack on transgender people was already evil, but the attack on transgender members of the military is INSANE. It's never been about a random NCAA swimming meet or anyone getting cancelled over a slip of the tongue on pronouns. It's about good old fashioned HATE.
If transgender service members don't voluntarily agree to resign, they'll be forced by the Defense Department to repay the signing bonuses they received at enlistment. Not only will they be fired, they'll be punished with thousands of dollars in debt. All for attempting to serve their country.

It’s probably a good day to explain to your non-scientist socials that graduate students are not merely the next generation of academic science, they are an important component of the current scientific labor force. Feel free to mention that this is cut rate labor as well.

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1
Why are Republican states trying to overturn a pillar of disability rights?
They may not be successful in repealing Section 504 as part of the attack on treating gender dysphoria, but it begs the question of what they might come for next.
