There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Inspired by @jtuttlekeane.bsky.social and @ohdearz.bsky.social, here's what the White House proposed budget cuts to NASA would do to the entirety of the agency's Science Mission Directorate. Bloodbath is right.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

🔥 New article, led by our founder: Trump’s Fool’s Gold Science EO lets political appointees loyal to him label research they don’t like as misconduct — and punish scientists who don’t fall in line with his agenda. The time to take action is NOW. (1/2)➡️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

By now it should be clear that the Trump administration intends to use the power of the state to crush every institution that stands in its way. There is no refuge in compliance. There will only be more demands, threats, and targets. We can sit and watch it happen. Or we can unite against it.

Trump's attacks on Harvard are straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Massachusetts won’t be bullied. And we won't let them stand.

All NSF GRFPs to students choosing to attend Harvard in the Fall were just terminated

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university. University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

NSF’s entire Division of Equity for Excellence in STEM (EDU/EES), which “aims to provide opportunities for individuals from all backgrounds to actively participate and excel in STEM disciplines” and some of it congressionally mandated, was just notified they will be RIFed. www.nsf.gov/edu/ees/about

Exclusive: National Science Foundation staff were told today that the agency’s 37 divisions—across all eight directorates—are being abolished and the number of programs within those divisions will be drastically reduced.

Here are the NSF funding data by state. Click on your state, peruse data, and then click on the Fact Sheet at the top to see annual spending. Then, please call your congressional reps. NSF money creates stable jobs for people at all career stages. tableau.external.nsf.gov/views/NSFbyN...

This is an absolute disaster. If we don't stop this, they will turn NSF into a pawn of the Trump administration. There will be no research on climate, biodiversity, or anything that isn't eugenics or AI or how to more efficiently destroy the planet for profit. This cannot be allowed to happen.

No surprise that Trump’s proposed NASA budget aligns perfectly with Musk’s interests, not the public good.  We would never have gotten to the moon or be talking about Mars without NASA’s science mission — and should not let Trump/Musk jeopardize America’s future leadership.

Large public universities don’t just provide educational opportunities to the majority of students in this country. When you cut federal funding to public institutions, you are often cutting funding to the largest employer in town. This is the case for *many* “college towns” across America. (2/2)

Signal-boosting. If you're in the area, show up to ask Mitch McConnell why he's enabling Elon Musk's unconstitutional power grab 👇

This administration wants higher education to die. For some people, they’ll care when it impacts their kids. For others, their favorite sports teams. We have to draw the connections and reach people where they’re at.

Here’s how extreme the NSF budget cuts could be: The bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act authorized an NSF budget of $18B for the next year. But per last night, a White House proposal could set that as low as…$3B, about **one-sixth of the CHIPS authorization** Call your rep with that info!!
