Every so often in history, a deranged leader will turn against scientific inquiry. An abassid caliph did in the 9th Century, Portugal’s king Manuel chased out his finest scholars because they were Jewish, Hitler also expelled his Jewish scientists.

Slashing scientific research funding and threatening America's role as the home of cutting-edge discoveries is quite a bait and switch from "defund woke DEI"
Trump’s Science Cuts Will Be Felt for Generations

Pay attention to how they frame this: industrial tuna seining as Indigenous fishing rights.
I see smart, well-meaning marine scientists fall for this all the time — the idea that restricting commercial fishing harms subsistence fishing communities.
Wise up. 🦑

As of January 22, 2025, the poultry industry has received $1.46 billion in indemnity payments and additional compensation over bird flu. A significant share — $301 million — of the indemnity payments have gone to just the top four producers, according to government spending data.

The experience of poverty goes beyond a very low income. It also includes things like getting proper nutrition, having access to electricity, and attending school.
To capture this broader reality, researchers from Oxford University and the UN developed the Multidimensional Poverty Index.
