If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Opinion | Universities Can Afford to Fight Trump (Gift Article) Every university president will face a choice similar to Columbia University’s in the coming months.

Every university should be fighting funding cuts and using their resources to counter these attacks on speech and research. And donors should remove restrictions on their contributions to provide as much flexibility as possible. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/o...

Update: They were removed from our reviewer assignments completely. I'm so sorry to all those graduate students. Anonymous to protect the identity of the NIH employee I spoke to...I am on study section next month to discuss F awards. We were just instructed to put the F31-Diversity applications on the bottom of our priority list for review because there is a chance we may not be able to review them. My heart is breaking for the grad students and their mentors that put so much work into these just for them to be disqualified and thrown out.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

The Chilling Line Trump Just Crossed On Transgender People With the latest trans military executive order, the administration has given up all pretense of "evidence-based care," and has moved to the kind of dehumanization meant to justify atrocity.

1. Yesterday, Trump's executive order crossed a new line.

No longer are the NYT Op-eds, thin veneers of pseudoscience, and false claims about trans people needed to justify discrimination.

We enter an era where our humanity itself is officially questioned.

Trump Administration Halts H.I.V. Drug Distribution in Poor Countries PEPFAR’s computer systems also are being taken offline, a sign that the program may not return, as Republican critics had hoped.

This is a public health nightmare in the works.

Nobody voted for this.

"The Trump administration has instructed organizations in other countries to stop disbursing H.I.V. medications purchased with U.S. aid, even if the drugs have already been obtained and are sitting in local clinics."
