In the end, however, the PSF simply can’t agree to a statement that we won’t operate any programs that “advance or promote” diversity, equity, and inclusion, as it would be a betrayal of our mission and our community.

Good on the PSF.

Perhaps I should up my donation...

The most distressing part of this is the way the NSF, the funder here, just gave into the administrations illegal takeover if their programs. The NSF was created by Congress and isn’t even within the regular agency structure of the executive branch. Buncha Quislings

The executive has the last say whether funds are released to be spent.

Congress can authorize funds. Doesn't mean they can authorize and spend infinitely without checks and balances.

This is not checks and balances. Get those words out yo mouth. This is a fascist takeover and it is clearly illegal.

Great! You have a spare 1.5M lying around next to the priests edicts and talking points you had to parrot to keep your job during the previous administration?
