Doug Bostrom<p>"The grant cancellations, Young concludes, "Arise from the NIH’s newly minted war against undefined concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion and gender identity, that has expanded to include vaccine hesitancy, COVID, influencing public opinion and climate change." The "undefined" aspect plays a key part in his reasoning. Referring to DEI, he writes, "No one has ever defined it to this Court—and this Court has asked multiple times." It's not defined in&nbsp;Trump's executive order&nbsp;that launched the "newly minted war," and Young found that administrators within the NIH issued multiple documents that attempted to define it, not all of which were consistent with each other, and in some cases seemed to use circular reasoning.</p><p>He also noted that the officials who sent these memos had a tendency to resign shortly afterward, writing, "it is not lost on the Court that oftentimes people vote with their feet."</p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/dei" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dei</span></a><br><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/WarOnScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarOnScience</span></a><br><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/RememberInNovember" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RememberInNovember</span></a></p><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/07/doge-told-the-nih-which-grants-to-cancel-with-no-scientific-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/science/2025/0</span><span class="invisible">7/doge-told-the-nih-which-grants-to-cancel-with-no-scientific-review/</span></a></p>

Lisa!It’s Canada Day today. A complicated holiday.

Jeri Dansky<p>Today: Went to the beach. Picked up some mango ice cream. Got my internet connection back to a reasonable speed. Took my non-driving neighbor to the drugstore to pick up a prescription.</p><p>And then I faced the horrifying news: budget news, "Alligator Alcatraz" news, and this:</p><p>DOJ announces plans to prioritize cases to revoke citizenship<br><a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/06/30/nx-s1-5445398/denaturalization-trump-immigration-enforcement" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">npr.org/2025/06/30/nx-s1-54453</span><span class="invisible">98/denaturalization-trump-immigration-enforcement</span></a></p><p>The DOJ memo lists 5 priorities, none of which are good:</p><p>1. Combatting Discriminatory Practices &amp; Policies — by which they mean DEI.<br>2. Ending Antisemitism — which would sure be nice, but you know that means any criticism of the Israeli government &amp; any support for the suffering Palestinians. <br>3. Protecting Women &amp; Children — all the anti-trans (&amp; anti-bi) stuff, including going after doctors, hospitals &amp; pharmaceutical companies providing puberty blockers or HRT.<br>4. Ending Sanctuary Jurisdictions<br>5.
