My federal grants with @wendymanning.bsky.social and Ann Meier were terminated last week. The language from the termination is below. It has been sad as we are being forced to say goodbye to members of our team. We are figuring out next steps. We remain deeply committed to studying all families.

A couple years ago U of MN was intentionally poaching researchers from politically conservative states. And now they announced that political stances are against university policy. Sobering stuff.

The good news: CDC's webpages have been restored following court orders.
The bad news: many have this despicable banner attached to them. We will be getting into misconceptions in gender ideology in a later post. For now, we are hurt and ashamed, and we stand with the LGBTQIA+ community.

Yesterday I realized that people do not understand that the “DEI” purge is a cover to get Black people fired and sidelined from government, university, and civic and corporate life in the US.
This is so clear based on who is being targeted that I hadn’t thought to say it explicitly
Happy #BHM! 🙃

I'm with a dozen public health professionals meeting with @amyklobuchar.com 's staff... next to her Minneapolis office.
(We thought we had a meeting here but it turns out they don't meet with constituents in person in Minnesota, only in DC?! So we scrambled to find a public space)

We can confirm that the communication ban at CDC (and presumably all of HHS) has been extended for at least another week with no specified end date. No external communication with local, state, or territorial health departments, healthcare systems, or the public. In the setting of ongoing outbreaks.

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.” T.Snyder.
