Beginning to formulate a turn signal based theory of morality. You're either willing to expend the smallest conceivable amount of mental and physical energy to make someone else's life even slightly more convenient or you're not, and I don't feel like it really needs to be more complicated than that

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.

Institutions, as a rule, will capitulate to fascism.
It is up to grassroots organizing and individuals to do what institutions will not.
Throw sand in the gears in every way that you can.
And if you are able to resist publicly, it’s important that you do so.
Tell these fuckers no.

New for @motherjones.com: Columbia University will be enacting a mask ban after caving into the Trump administration's demands. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Caving to Trump's demands, Columbia University says it will ban mask-wearing
Enforcing such an order while allowing exceptions for health can be a dicey matter.
