A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.
This is a major win for public health.

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.
The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.
Maybe it's not the judges?

There was a reason they attacked DEI first. It's because white christian male supremacist views are core to their movement. Dems should, contrary to the advice of some reflexive compromisers among us, respond by picking up the fallen banner of equality & opportunity. We should proudly champion it.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

"The diversity of sexual phenotypes across species is vast and spectacular" & so is this delightful story. Thanks to @professormaney.bsky.social for showing how white-throated sparrows are more proof that we shouldn't "flatten nature’s wondrous diversity into two categories, male and female." 🧪
Do white-throated sparrows have four sexes? This bird challenges us to think carefully about what "sex" even means. Check out this article in Scientific American for my two cents: sex means many different things.
