And it looks like it’s official. Trump is ignoring court orders.

The rubicon has been crossed.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Meta now allows women to be called ‘property’ and LGBTQ+ folks labeled ‘mentally ill.’ Watching people justify staying on Meta —‘It’s just where everyone is!’—is wild. At what point do convenience and connection outweigh complicity in a system harming the most vulnerable? Asking for humanity.
Meta’s new hate speech rules allow users to call LGBTQ people mentally ill
Changes to its hate speech guidelines were among broader policy shifts Meta made to its moderation practices.

pretty astounding donald trump achieved too many “ah! well. nevertheless…” moments and democrats just gave up on opposing him or making a real case against him completely

In the end Trump got away with everything (except the crimes and civil violations he committed in New York). And I don't blame Jack Smith. He did his job. I 100 percent blame Merrick Garland, who frittered away two full years and let Trump walk for stealing classified documents and fomenting a coup.
Yes, Jack Smith resigning was expected, but it still feels like justice has left the building.
I had such high hopes for trump and cabal to be held to account. 🤬😣 www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
Special Counsel Jack Smith resigns
The move was expected ahead of President-elect Donald Trump taking the oath of office.

I hope my post doc knows that there are like 20 queers that are ready to kill for him. Conversely, I hope my faculty scientist knows that there are like 20 queers actively gunning for him that want to see his head on a pike.
