Germany is getting a new chancellor. Its current leader is heading out of power, but his party probably will stick around in a diminished capacity. Sunday’s election produced a few surprises and a lot of suspense. Here are five takeaways.

Exactly. We are not hearing enough from University leaders in the US. This silent complicity is toxic - for academia, science, freedom.
It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.”
University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

Mississippi Senator Bradford Blackmon isn’t playin around.
In answer to the GOP’s ridiculous “life begins at contraception” law, he’s introduced Senate Bill 2319 stating that “CONTRACEPTION BEGINS AT ERECTION” and it makes it illegal for a man to cum if he does not intend to fertilize an embryo.
