Excellent piece by @brianpjcronin on the consequences of slashing govt-funded science.

It sucks we have to face a stark rise in fascism. But I am so grateful this resurgence of evil is, objectively, deeply incompetent.
It turns, out much of the #EpsteinFiles redactions were done by placing black boxes over the original text on the pdf. So you can still highlight, copy, and paste to recreate the original documents.
Simple copy/paste may bring down some evil people, hopefully even #Trump.
Take heart that the enemy is this incompetent.

"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."
