They're calling it epistemic collapse, did you know that? Epistemic collapse, folks. Because now the perceptions, they're totally divorced from empirical fact.
I've a new essay out at The Nation on Trump's mass firings at the CDC earlier this month and what they mean––not just for public health, but for the entirety of US politics.

"The pro-natalist movement, for all its proponents’ insistence on the supposed demographic emergency facing the United States, is not really interested in making parenting easier or less burdensome for women," writes Guardian US columnist Moira Donegan.

While far-right influencers, eugenicists & evolutionary psychologists gather at the Natal conference to stoke fears of “demographic collapse”, demographers quietly get on with working out how to adapt to demographic change. The conclusion: policy should focus on human capital not demographic targets

APSA Statement on Executive Action Impacts on Research Funding, Data Availability and Academic Freedom
The American Political Science Association (APSA) is deeply concerned about recent executive actions that have had troubling implications for research funding and academic freedom. In January, President Trump issued an executive order calling for the termination of federal support for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. This was followed by a memorandum to temporarily pause a wide range of federal grants, loans, and other forms of financial assistance, to allow for a review of federal grants and awards and to enforce compliance with the executive order.
