Excellent statement by Yale epidemiologist @gregggonsalves@med-mastodon.com on why scientists should speak up about the defunding, censorship, deterioration, and ideological distortion of US science -- or at least take notes:

Scientists now have the responsibility of "bearing witness and putting evidence on the table. It may not be persuasive to Russell Vought or Marco Rubio, but it is for the dossier, for the truth and reconciliation commission, for the Nuremberg trials that come after. Keep the receipts. Write down what you see. Tell them what they did. We’re very good at documenting how X leads to Y."

"The Justice Department Erases History; Lawfare Restores It."
https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-justice-department-erases-history--lawfare-restores-it
"Last week, the Justice Department deleted thousands of press releases related to the Jan. 6 insurrection and other matters. Here they are…We have restored the vast bulk of what was deleted. We have also started to preemptively archive a raft of material that has not yet been deleted but probably will be, given its thematic relationship to the material that was 86ed."
