A series of tweets from Politico senior legal affairs reporter Kyle Cheney:
BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants β ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI β are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.
YOUNG: "I am hesitant to draw this conclusion, but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it β that this represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against Americaβs LGBTQ community. Thatβs what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out."
MORE YOUNG: "It is palpably clear that these directives and the set of terminated grants here also are designed to frustrate, to stop, research that may bear on the health β weβre talking about health here, the health of Americans, of our LGBTQ community. Thatβs appalling."
YOUNG still going: "Iβve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable. Iβve sat on this bench now for 40 years. Iβve never seen government racial discrimination like this ... I ask myself, how can this be?"
"I have the protection that the founders wrote into the constitution, along with imposing upon me a duty to speak the truth in every case. I try to do that. What if I didnβt have those protections. What if my job was on the line, my profession... Would I have stood up against all this? Would I have said, 'you canβt do this?' You are bearing down on people of color because of their color. The constitution will not permit that."
"Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?"

Itβs also worth reading the demand letter that GSA, HHS, and Dept of Ed sent to Harvard on Friday. The βviewpoint diversityβ faculty hiring, student admission, and audit demands are WILD. Wildly unconstitutional that is.

Iβve been a green card holder since 2005. I am a social scientist researching racism + DEI, and my entire research is listed in this list. I go to protests. Tho Iβm afraid of speaking up, Iβm much more privileged than most at this moment so I canβt be silent. If you can, speak up for those who canβt
