Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.
Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Eugenicists are so stupid.
The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: “If you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.”
That is dangerously false.

And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

"We collaborate with the fascist takeover, not because it is right, but because we think if we do they might be unpopular at some point in the future, at which point, again provided they are unpopular enough that there is no risk to us, we will form a committee to explore doing the right thing."
Schumer tells me Republicans might try to jam Democrats again in September, but thinks Trump will be less popular then and Republican appropriators might be more willing to stand up to him. He said they refused to do so now.

57 years ago, on March 16, 1968, US troops killed 504 Vietnamese civilians - mostly older people, mothers, and children. I am spending the day at the My Lai memorial with Ron Haeberle, the photographer, and got to meet the last of the survivors, of whom just a handful are still alive.
