🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

A reminder that immigration contributes to American greatness.

A large fraction of Nobel Prizes awarded to Americans have been to immigrants.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

.@hcrichardson.bsky.social annual story about the Wounded Knee Massacre. It is shocking & hard to read. Then why read about it? Same reason she writes about it.

A *key* victory was handed down in Arkansas yesterday, where a federal judge held that two sections of Arkansas's anti-library bill Act 372 violated the First Amendment.

A big win for libraries + for anti-book banning.

Here's the ruling, plus potential implications.

Campaign election reform is needed. Roll back Citizens United. No company or person should be able to donate so much money that they affect an election.

Trump’s stated goal is to eliminate the Dept of Education. Here’s a good analysis as to why this is unlikely to succeed.

Trump's Cabinet appointments are shocking, but part of a plan. We should be wary of shock, which excuses inaction. We have to get through the surprise and the shock to see the design and the risk.

This is the plan - both to end the US Dept of Education and to instill a voucher system that shifts public money to religious (Christian) schools - the death of the great equalizer, public education for all.
Pay attention to Oklahoma.

Bibles in classrooms isn't the big story.

The same legal teams behind the seeding of Dobbs are driving a case to create religious schools fully funded by the public & they've already petitioned the Supreme Court.

Understandably, everyone was focused on the election.
