To be clear, while there is _specific_ language around DEI/gender identity, the actual language of parts of this goes far, far further, and essentially codifies giving political appointees explicit discretion over what gets funded and what conferences scientists with government funds can go to, and disallows any government money to go towards publishing research.

The party is against reality broadly, is Ballardian Hyper Reality writ large. A fabricated world of nonsense and fear mongering. Being opposed to science is the only thing that makes sense those who so broadly are opposed to truth and peace. The ultra wealthy that fund them are also all too happy to see proud institutions hollowed out, happy to see knowledge workers cast out of good worthy public effort and prestigious storied jobs, and made to look for corporate jobs.
