- Reposted by Wolfram DresslerICE uses extrajudicial violence and intimidation for political ends. It's unconstrained by the law, unaccountable to the public. Its crimes are endorsed at the highest levels. What does this tell us? That it's the force of paramilitary thugs all fascist movements & governments use. It is Trump’s SS.

- Lead by Stasja Koot, this paper explores the intensifying intimidation from powerful conservation actors against social scientists whose findings they see as troubling. Their threats have not silenced those who work for socio-ecological justice. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...
- Reposted by Wolfram DresslerThis is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

- Reposted by Wolfram DresslerThis is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
