I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.
Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭
It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

I'm so angry at most white men right now. To all good men: please take responsibility to proactively speak out and act out against other men who are working to take away women's hard-won rights! Please engage!

Let me put this as bluntly as I can.
Without clinical trials, I would be dead. Melanoma would have killed me at age 35 - leaving my 3- and 6-year-olds without their mom.
Unmitigated cruelty. And for what?
😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬

Zuckerberg conceded there would be more ‘bad stuff’ on his sites. Here’s the latest.
The social networking giant will stop using third-party fact checkers and instead rely on users to add notes to posts. It is likely to please President-elect Trump and his conservative allies.

When Kamala lost, she conceded graciously and then got back work as our VP.
When Trump lost, he wouldn’t concede and then incited a deadly attack on our Capitol.

January 6, 2021 was one of the darkest days in our nation's history. Four years later, Donald Trump is gearing up to pardon those who tried to destroy our nation.
We cannot forget it. We must fight back.
We must flip the House and the Senate to hold Trump accountable.

We should not be surprised that the Republican House majority’s first action is to focus back on attacking trans people. It’s cruel, shameful and does nothing to address lowering costs for families.
