NIH researchers were working on treatments, health equity, and saving lives—but their work was cut for being ideologically inconvenient.

Now a federal judge says: illegal.

Recently, NIHers risked everything to speak out. Stand with them here ➡️zurl.co/rqq7T

While it’s no fun to get CT scanned, an mri, a bone biopsy under total sedation I am grateful for the lengths at which my medical team is going to make an accurate picture of my disease. And they also applied for clinical trials for me. Cancer care in the US is wonderful, a shame it’s being gutted

I’m heartbroken and outraged about Ohio State’s decision to close the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. It’s pre-compliance and it’s just wrong. Make them make us do it. Don’t bow down. History has its eyes on us.

I want to also Make America Great Again. It was great when diversity and inclusion was important. We were having meaningful conversations and taking action on racism. And we were trying to use safe language and correct pronouns. The White House was a-glow in rainbow lights. That was my America.

“You’re terminated because…?”

Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside.

DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

Bottom line- you morally can’t ask teachers to erase history, and that is what the Trump administration is doing. Learn from history, don’t erase it. So.. educators are fighting back. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

I'm currently a research administrator. The A of F&A aka overhead costs. I've also been a Payroll and financial administrator. I do the admin work that is needed to keep grants running. My work allows scientists to focus on the science.
I have a confession
.

I was an “overhead cost”.

I was a beaker washer, agar plate pourer, research secretary. I was paid by “overhead cost” fees. Loved it.

Those “overhead cost” jobs allowed this rural kid to become a physician.

There really are only two types of people in this world.

Those who care about what happens to others and those who only care about what happens to them and theirs.

Choose wisely.

70% of the world’s population has universal healthcare, but not the US

We are the only highly developed nation without it

Our healthcare is twice as expensive as the average wealthy nation

US ranks last among industrial nations for deaths that could be prevented with timely access to healthcare
