He walked back prior statements on climate change, DEI, and anti racism
And his words on sex and gender were far from scientifically accurate

My latest piece, written for the Kettering Foundation.
I urge organizations, nonprofits, and companies to end the cycle of over compliance with Trump threats, and show how doing so ushers in fascism.
Some lessons from what we have seen in the trans community.

Serious point: This might be the most interventionist American government in my lifetime. The price of just about every good reflects the good thinking of the Commissars in Washington DC implementing their 5-year plan for National Greatness, rather than market forces.

Digging into the reinstated NIH grants. This story is an evolving doozy.
The reinstated grant is an R21 from Seattle Children's Hospital
I was very confused when I read the title:
"An intervention to promote healthy relationships among transgender and gender expansive youth"

CDC will no longer collect trans health data following the “gender ideology” EO. With already limited data on trans health, this move attempts to erase trans people even more. It’s a reminder why community-led data collection is crucial, so the availability of this data is not left to govt's whim.
CDC will no longer process transgender data
The agency's decision will likely affect a number of federal health surveillance systems that serve as critical resources for researchers.

U of Michigan's medical center is one of the only locations in the state where children can get hearing aids. Why? Because private insurers don't reimburse & Medicaid's reimbursement rate is too low for most hearing aid clinics.
Why can UM afford it? Because it gets indirect costs from NIH grants.
