Just in case anyone is confused or befuddled by MAGA types claiming that someone should or shouldn't have done something:
None of the documented behaviors of protestors or observers are justification for immediate, extrajudicial executions under U.S. law. ICE is lawless. ICE agents are muderers.

We lost over 10,000 scientists from the U.S. government. Most pushed out via threatened terminations, harassments, and via decimating reductions in force. Dark times ahead.

This kind of messaging is intended to drown moms in research, risk, and responsibility.
The goal is to keep them so anxious and so busy that they can't work for pay--especially not in high-powered "mens" jobs--or get involved in any kind of efforts to push for progressive change.

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place.
Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

There is simply not enough to say about how bad this is. Not only will we miss out on cures for infections & things like pancreatic cancer, the US will fall behind in science, tech, economy, and while other countries will take this over it will still be slowed/delayed. It’s a national security risk!

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.
University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.
