Trump’s siege of science: how the first 30 days unfolded and what’s next The breakneck pace and devastating impact of the administration’s policy changes has shocked researchers.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science.

Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics".

Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about".

We need to sound the alarm.

Truth, Justice, and Reparations in Peru, Uruguay, and South Korea This book examines why states that adopt and implement transitional justice norms as policies, then fail to follow through with their recommendations.

link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Main argument is that cotinuous advocacy efforts involving domestic and international partners (i.e., transnational advocacy involving ngos and what not) can make a difference. That it is the only way to resist/help halt authoritarian governments and protect the average citizen and human rights.

Maybe there is something to learn from other states where people continue to resist and push back against authoritarianism, even if authoritarian gvts keep coming back. In 2021 I published a book about a comparison of Skorea, Peru, and Uruguay and transitional justice.

Announcement for a SPECIAL PANEL ON THE TREASURY with pictures of two speakers. About this event: What is at stake with the Treasury's payment systems? Recent events make this question more pertinent than ever before. Cutting across governance, policy, economic regulation, and the bureaucracies that sit at the core of the democratic state, the Treasury's financial pipes and plumbing are critical for the nation's well-being. In this special session, Elizabeth Popp Berman (U Michigan) and Abraham Newman (Georgetown U) will discuss why these systems matter as well as the risks posed by their capture by non-state actors. Please join us on Thursday, February 6 at 11 AM PST/ 2 PM EST for what will surely be an excellent conversation. Please register here: https://ucsd.zoom.us/meeting/register/uSxuanM2TEWy5Hqn4-7KVg
