Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

NIH is losing so may good people. First they were fired or RIFd or pressured to retire early.
Now they are leaving because “no longer lend our credibility to an organization that has lost its integrity.”

“We can no longer lend our credibility to an organization that has lost its integrity,” write four scientists and administrators who recently resigned from the NIH.

Firing upon a shipwreck is a textbook example of an illegal order that shouldn't be followed — one straight out of our military's own Law of War Manual.
But with Pete Hegseth's alleged order to 'kill them all,’ Donald Trump's unconstitutional strikes near Venezuela are now potentially a war crime.

Under Trump, the NIH is giving fewer grants to fewer scientists. The grants awarded are smaller and scientists have less time to spend them.
Projects in cancer, diabetes, aging, neurological disorder, and more are going unfunded.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

To whom will the US military now owe a favor for this anonymous "donation" to pay them? This isn't harmless benevolence, its quid pro quo. And Trump will make sure that when that favor comes due that "his" troops do whatever this entity wants to demonstrate the proper gratitude and fealty.
