NSF has posted an “update on priorities.”

They’re canceling all “DEI and misinformation/disinformation” grants.

And the guidance on how to fulfill the longstanding, legally mandated Broadening Participation requirement is utterly incoherent.

I am unspeakably disgusted to read this story. Roofer in the East German town Sebnitz seeks new employee - but no "hooknosed" (derogatory for jews) and "bimbo" (black person)...
Eine menschenverachtende Anzeige im Amtsblatt der Kreisstadt Sebnitz in #Sachsen. Ronney W. will sich am Telefon nicht dazu äußern: „Ich habe heute Abend eine Familienfeier, ich kann jetzt nicht mit der Presse hier …“ Schade – dabei gibt es so viele Fragen. #rechtsextremismus

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID.

This is what actual campus censorship looks like.
