Last night I found out that the NSF math postdoctoral fellowship I applied for is being deleted because it does not comply with Trump’s executive orders on DEI in the federal government. I’m going to answer some FAQs and share some thoughts about this ordeal in this thread 1/n

They’re absolutely going for it. Doesn’t mean they’re going to be successful, and in fact I think it’s like shooting the moon, but everyone needs to understand what they are attempting.
Purging dissent in the security services and giving loyalists power is something we *instantly* recognize in other contexts.
EXCLUSIVE: Candidates for national security roles in the new administration have been posed loyalty questions, such as: Was Jan. 6 an inside job, and Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? They were asked to give straight "yes" or "no" answers. Here's our story.

Never imagined I’d have to say this, but if you want to have a look at NIH RePORTER to see how much NIH funding your state receives so you can write to your elected representatives, you’d better do it now, and get a screenshot.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

As a student of history, I'm not being hyperbolic. The federal government built the Black middle class in DC, and in many parts of the U.S., largely because it was one of the first organizations to hire Black professionals and prohibit discrimination. It is amongst the most diverse US workforce.

Years ago, a pastor asked me to pray that more people of color would come to our church.
Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order stripping protections for churches shielding immigrants.
That pastor asked for prayers of diversity while likely voting against it.
This is Christian nationalism.

Notably Tarrio and Rhodes both had terrorism enhancements to their sentences. (Tarrio was sentenced by a Trump-appointed judge.)
Jan 6 was investigated and largely prosecuted as domestic terrorism. The pardons should be reported and spoken of accordingly. An endorsement of terrorism. Trump sprung his terrorist network - including, by extension, himself.
