There are gatherings all over the country on May 1 to say no to billionaires who are killing jobs and ignoring our constitution. Even as a School Board member, I swore to uphold the U. S. Constitution. US Senator Thom Tillis did too. Why isn’t he standing up for his oath?

I’m the Director of the Center for Historical Studies at Northwestern and also a gender historian. If I thought for a minute that our administration had cancelled this conference for political reasons I would be complaining, loudly. But this is not an accurate representation of what happened.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.
Who's running this country: MUSK Donald Trump or Elon Musk? Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself. The Constitution only allows for one president at a time. Call Your Senators and tell them it's time Donald Trump fire Elon Musk.

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Here is a photo of a trans non-binary biologist (me) holding a bird (Eastern Towhee) that is likely a bilateral gynandromorph-- a fusion of cells with female-type chromosomes and cells with male-type chromosomes in one bird!

PSA: you do not have to watch the news tomorrow. You do not have to keep track of everything day 1. This is a marathon not a sprint. Take care of yourself and spend time with friends and family. I'll be out on the slopes wfh my partner enjoying nature. They can't take our joy, I won't let them.
