Research Saves Lives

This is the most recent issue of JHU’s outreach to alumni. It includes a somber letter from the editor which acknowledges without real criticism the unprecedented and uncertain “Right Now.” It instead offers an urgent truth being washed away by dangerous propaganda and policy:

Just landed in El Salvador to discuss release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia
YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Just landed in El Salvador to discuss release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Thanks for your leadership Senator Van Hollen. This is what it looks like to show up for your constituents. More of this please!

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Every college now gets to choose whether to be a Georgetown or a Columbia in the face of this administration and I think we all know which one they're going to choose.

Iowa Legislature passes bill removing civil rights protections for transgender Iowans Republicans in the Iowa House and Senate passed a bill Thursday afternoon to remove state civil rights protections for transgender Iowans, sending it to Gov. Kim Reynolds' desk for her signature.

This is the kind of systemic bigotry the Trump administration emboldens. Grateful for those who pushed back against this dangerous and offensive legislation, but angry about the result.

Trans rights are human rights. Trans protections save lives.

Super easy to call this number, find your House rep by zip code, and call to ask them to oppose the current budget resolution

Photo of an original cross stitch design in a hoop.  The fabric is a 28 count warm milk mocha colour.  The top half of the design features an orange shark chasing a pool of random red and white fish, with the words underneath "DO NOT PANIC"
The lower half of the design depicts the orange shark fleeing from the organized red and white fish that have come together in the shape of a larger fish.  Moreover, the organized shape is in the colours of the Canadian Flag, with a sparkly red beaded fish in the centre of the white field where the Canadian Maple leaf usually is.  At the base is the large stitched word "ORGANIZE".
It's a reminder that as individuals sometimes tyranny seems insurmountable,  but when we band together, we are strong and will defeat the orange menace.

I have a #FridayFinish - keep strong 🇨🇦

My mum didn't get it, but that's ok. My #Art, and it's going to be a daily reminder to stay strong.

Georgia Touts Its Medicaid Experiment as a Success. The Numbers Tell a Different Story. Only 6,500 participants have enrolled in a program that has cost taxpayers more than $86 million — a warning for other states looking to impose restrictions on Medicaid in a second Trump presidency.

NEW: Georgia’s governor promotes his Medicaid work requirement as a national model for reform.

Yet the program has cost taxpayers $86M, three-quarters of which has gone to consultants, and enrolled less than 3% of the quarter-million Georgians eligible.
