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.

A clear explanation of how the Trump/Musk power grab will do untold harm to us all. This is a 5 alarm fire. No president, regardless of party, should have such direct control over the disbursement of federal funds. Now, a thread on what to do:
I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x
Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

We are still learning about all the webpages that have been taken down, but they include: contraception and reproductive rights, STI treatment guidelines, youth risk behavior survey data, CDC's health education analysis tool, resources for the LGBTQ community, and intimate partner violence. 💔

Posted this on FB this morning but it bears sharing here, too. The very first lesson in Timothy Snyder’s indispensable little book, On Tyranny, seems most important today and at this hour. Do not give give in before you’re made to do so. They’re expecting it, but you don’t have to comply.

Howdy, brave new world. Time to buckle in for the bumpy road ahead. So glad I have so many like-minded friends and folks to get through it with.
