Just to spell this out: you, too, are not breaking the law. Versions of this could happen to any of us.
NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.
The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.
No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

I heard from my husband who has friends in other countries that they are calling us #NaziAmerica now. That sounds pretty appropriate actually.
I don't plan on being a "Good American".

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.

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.

This is why the GOP hate women. They aren't afraid of men who are full of hate and who are a shame to our country. They don't submit to men and they speak the truth. GOP's enemy within.

Capitalism thrives on scarcity.
A society that has moved beyond scarcity has no need for billionaire oligarchs.
We could ALL be thriving, if not for a few hundred billionaires, and their families, and their belief in needing scarcity.
