There is no evidence to support that federal research funding is being unfairly allocated to "woke" or "leftist" research.

If anything, as @pinglamjoeip.bsky.social and I found, research on structural inequality is underfunded.

Gynaecological surgery

"It’s just pure, medical sexism.”

Why do US surgeons get reimbursed more to operate on a penis than a vagina?

This quirk in the US health system exemplifies the gender imbalance that is holding back equity for patients and doctors alike

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

The Washington Post Accused Me of “Gross Misconduct.” Here's My Response. This fight isn’t just about my job — it’s about who gets punished for telling the truth, and who gets protected for spreading hate and violence.

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post.

I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing.

Proud to have @normeisen.bsky.social + @katiephang.bsky.social in my corner.

Now? This is normal sh*t. In fact, let's make him border czar!
