Too many Cassandras. Not enough Odysseuses.
So I know I'm shits and giggles over here sometimes, but I'm sad that I spent the last 4 years trying to tell folks about Christian Nationalism and the crazy ass shit these folks believe. I tried.

When the Nazis took power and gutted the Weimar era civil service in government, they also claimed the need to increase efficiency and to ensure loyalty to the nazi party. They did it through the law for the restoration of the professional civil service.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.
