The American Diabetes Association has ejected from its annual meeting the editor-in-chief of its journal Diabetes Care, its former president, and three other scientists, for handing out reprints of an editorial published in the journal and critical of the US government's attacks on science: https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/06/scientists-ejected-from-diabetes-conference-for-distributing-journal-reprints/ . According to video evidence the ejected scientists "were not disruptive or disorderly in their conduct". Nevertheless, the ADA claims that this behavior constituted a violation of the association's code of conduct.

The editorial in question: "Misguided Brushes of a Pen Continue to Dismantle and Destroy Biomedical Research in the United States: We Can No Longer Afford Complacency and Fear. We Must All Act Now!", _Diabetes Care_, http://dx.doi.org/10.2337/dci26-0068

Especially now. More than ever. This is the way.
