🚨I converted the list of terminated #NIH grants (as of 3/22) into a google sheet. I added activity codes and award jurisdictions (see tabs for grant count and $ by each). Note this HHS list likely does not include all planned/completed terminations as of this date.🚨 Please use, share and distribute!

🚨PIs of Training Grants and Programs, ESPECIALLY training grants that support students from historically excluded groups (T32s and T34s, IMSD, MARC, PREP, MOSAIC, etc.)🚨

We need to push back on the loss of information and the disappearance of websites about these resources.

It is little known, but the first book burnings in Nazi Germany didn’t target Jewish writers. It was the burning of the library of the Institute of Sexual Research, which was a safe home for trans people.

It is no accident that fascists today walk that same dark path by targeting trans people. /5

Nearly 60% of the drop in key goods and services' inputs was driven by large declines in energy costs, such as jet fuel and diesel fuel, while transportation and warehousing costs have fallen by nearly 4% since June 2022 peaks.
Still, prices remain high. Consumers are still paying about 25% more for groceries, the report notes as an example.

New study finds corporate profiteering accounted for MORE THAN HALF of inflation last year. So, not just vibes.

Kentucky Republican pushes bill to make sex with first cousin not incest The bill would remove first cousins from the list of family members with whom it's illegal to have sexual relations in the state.

You're worried about climate change. They just want to fuck their cousins. We are not the same.

A consistent theme of the politicization of Florida higher ed under DeSantis has been graft for political cronies: his anti-vax Surgeon General was given a tenured professorship & second salary. But he does not turn up for work and no-one will hold him accountable.
