I'm on a national committee that bridges the ocean and atmospheric science communities to facilitate research on ocean-atmosphere interactions and their role in marine biogeochemical cycles. Our weekly meetings have been put on hold to ensure we don't violate Trump's EO on DEI. 🙄

@petergleick @davidho What would be the possible violation? Remember: the president and the executive branch do not make the laws. Congress does. I don’t remember Congress outlawing free speech or equal protection under the law; they are constitutionally protected.

@yappari @petergleick @davidho

I think, Congress has no power anymore. Trump and Musk are in charge now and is seems, nobody is stopping them in any way. Not even the military, so there is no one left to defend democracy. Democracy is gone in the US. The Nazi biljonairs have won!

@davidho Who made that decision, and how can it be revoked?

You are global treasure! And you and the whole committee must not be 'put on hold'!

@davidho I’d like to be a fly on the wall when the administration finds out how many marine species are hermaphroditic.

@davidho by having a meeting? Does the thing say "only white males strict definition"? Would a wheelchair ramp be a violation? Do they fear a wild black lesbian might suddenly appear?

Seriously, how could having a meeting be a poblem even with that madness going on. I fail to understand.

@davidho

That is a very tough spot you find yourself in. You carefully elided who canceled the meetings which is understandable at this point. Thank you for sharing what is going on with your group. Did the canceler of the meetings indicate what they expected the enforcement mechanism of the EO to be? Is there a time frame for "on hold" like did they tell you to expect an update in x days/weeks or just open ended? Good luck! And nevermind if too much stress or not enough time to respond.

No one:

Some Trump Staffer: "All discussion of this so-called 'Black' Sea ends now!"

@davidho what are the likely consequences of meeting anyway?

is it feasible, or too risky?

informal un-documented knowledge sharing hangouts?

@davidho Nobody can stop you from talking to other scientists about whatever you like to discuss. Worst they can do is stop funding but I assume you meet online so don’t need travel funding?
