My latest on Trumpian craziness/neo-fascism

Trump gets even – Who says culture doesn’t matter? - LSE Inequalities
Donald Trump's political agenda centres around cultural influence & a deeply symbolic struggle for recognition. Who is central vs peripheral in America today?

The National Science Foundation cancelled over 60 grant review panels today, effectively grinding funding of new projects to a halt.
