Admittedly, I work in a different field (not law)- I completely missed “the why” behind the travesty that has developed in civil rights law in the workplace. Thank you for the explainer, angryblacklady.blacksky.app ❤️❤️

My mom had polio when she was five. She was living on a US military base in Japan (1947). Four kids on the base died. She was the only survivor.
Kathleen Bachynski@bachynski.bsky.social · 3w ago“On Thursday, Mr. Gorton said that “the success of the polio vaccine was a massive medical fraud” and that widespread vaccination was a “public health disaster.” He received a standing ovation… Mr. Kennedy spoke next, linking arms with the group even as measles cases continue to rise”
A long and excellent *thread on the impact of cuts to research funding for institutions on science that requires time (years & decades) for close study & evaluation. Huge negatives on individual scientists as well, whose expertise is discounted. Risk transfer to individuals is not ok. *Please read.
Alondra Nelson@alondra.bsky.social · 4w agoResearchers across the country are turning to side hustles to fund their work. Behind the cuts sits a bigger shift: whether American science can still sustain durable research capacity. @lindseydcameron.bsky.social and I examine the stakes in a new piece @science.org: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I recently finished a book called "Revenge For the Sixties" by Peter Canellos about Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito. But I wanna focus specifically on the book title here, because that's what I believe is going on here, and it even alludes to it in the article 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/b...

Third Way — which has declared "war" on progressives — is a Trojan Horse for corporate America. Their funding sources are a Star Wars cantina of billionaire megadonors, Fortune 500 CEOs, giant corporations, and corporate dark money bundlers.

For more than 60 years, federal oversight helped enforce school desegregation in Bossier Parish. Now, that oversight has ended. History reminds us that progress is never guaranteed. It must be protected. How do we ensure every child has equal access to opportunity? apnews.com/article/loui...

Russell Vought’s OMB Grant Proposal takes the formerly expert informed, democratic grant award process and turns it into an authoritative process based on political ideology. It will destroy science in America as we know it. Take action here: zurl.co/ydchb Article: zurl.co/Juc68
