"DEI Under Threat: Collaborative Strategies to #DefendResearch."
https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/12/22/guest-post-dei-under-threat-collaborative-strategies-to-defendresearch/

"None of this is new, and the censorship of scholarship has a long history. As #SaraRouhi explained, 'it’s really easy, particularly in the US where we tend to be very short-sighted, to forget that all of this has happened before,' pointing to an infamous Nature editorial from 1937, calling out the censorship of Jewish researchers in Germany at the time. This editorial is striking in two ways: its argument that scientific inquiry can only develop to its full extent in an atmosphere of political freedom, and that everyone engaged in scholarly inquiry ought to be empowered to pursue their research, wherever it leads."

#Mark #Zuckerberg’s decision to cut off funding to the pro‑immigration group FWD.us

marks a sharp turn away from the high-profile social advocacy that once defined his philanthropy...

even as #MacKenzie #Scott is emerging as the era’s most aggressive backer of equity- and #DEI-driven causes.

The split shows a broader divergence in tech philanthropy:

one billionaire channeling resources into #science and #AI infrastructure,

the other pouring unrestricted billions into institutions serving communities historically excluded from power and wealth.
