very excited to learn that the constitution allows the federal government to disappear people to foreign gulags beyond the reach of any judicial remedy
NEW: Chief Justice Roberts has issued an administrative stay in the Abrego Garcia case, temporarily relieving the Trump administration of its duty to return him from El Salvador. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

In times of political defeat and civic annihilation, Black history/feminism directs us to nonetheless make space for recognition, critical thought, and even celebration. We will do so next month in honor of Michele Mitchell’s scholarship at the University of Michigan. lsa.umich.edu/history/news...

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
