Flowers, flowers, flowers…🌻 I want to leave this world better than when I got here. SMASH THE PATRIARCHY NO DM’S

  1. So many bad things for science in this EO. Here’s just one further tidbit:

    “[Vought] shall further revise the Uniform Guidance…to limit the use of discretionary grant funds for costs related to facilities and administration.”

    Likely translation: make 15% indirect rates legal.

    One more effort to politicize federal grantmaking. *Grants must by approved by a political appointee, working with OMB. *"Discretionary awards must, where applicable, demonstrably advance the President’s policy priorities." *Cannot "promote anti-American values" www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

  2. We should absolutely be raising the salience of this particular case as much as possible. It's abject racial profiling and has a serious chance of eating into Trump's gains with Hispanic people.

    🚨DHS asks the Supreme Court to halt an injunction restricting the ability of ICE and Border Patrol to stop and question people based on factors such as speaking Spanish, being Latino, doing day labor, or being in certain areas.

    Hard not to read this as a request for a license to racially profile.
