Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

This is horrifying! Family members of some of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison by Trump confirm their loved ones weren't members of a gang.

One woman said her brother got a tattoo of a rose in Dallas, and because of that they accused him of being a gang member.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

STRESS KILLS.

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggling every day to keep their families going.  

The result: working class people die 7 years earlier than the rich.

We need an economy that works for all, not just the few.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle “Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

He keeps saying they are going to do what they are already doing. Makes no god damn sense.

They are already shutting down agencies, what are you talking about?

Dude, you are literally enabling the tax cuts by voting for this. What the fuck are you talking about?

Your logic makes no sense. He is already doing this. Why are you agreeing to his CR? Make it make sense. I'm a fed worker and am literally asking to not get a paycheck for the good of our democracy.

FYI Politico reported that Trump misspoke and he meant they're going to cut 65% of EPA's spending. Not sure that's any better...

There is still time to send this in! bsky.app/profile/altn...

Thank you for finally reporting it as deferred resignation instead of a buyout
