The Trump administration is slashing "indirect costs" in health and science. But what does that mean? Indirect costs cover space, equipment, legal support and oversight. “Without support of [indirect costs], research labs would literally go dark."
Trump NIH funding cuts, policies threaten Pitt research
A Trump administration decision to cap indirect cost rates in science and health grants, plus federal staff cuts, has Pitt researchers wondering if they can continue.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Did you know…?
Temu steals from artists & small biz. And bc they are in China, they don’t have to do shit about it. This is all they are: stolen intellectual property.
Artists try not to look, bc there’s nothing to be done. I can’t explain how violating this feels.
Two of my stickers on Temu.

Let's be clear: You need 2/3 of Congress and 38 state legislatures to ratify an amendment. Trump doesn't have that.
For all that my GOP colleagues claim to love our Founding Fathers, they seem to have forgotten the words of Thomas Paine: In America, there is no king but the law.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

Pittsburgh started a $1M medical debt relief program in 2023 to help residents burdened with unpaid medical bills.
2 years later, the program has yet to clear a dollar.
The region’s largest health systems — UPMC and AHN — have declined to participate in the program.

I am once again reminding everyone that Clive Owen’s character in CHILDREN OF MEN is in his mid-forties in the late 2020s, which means it’s canonically a movie about a Millennial

I saw Brett Kavanaugh at the US Capitol last week and went to Macy’s and passed by a Johnny Depp cologne ad. So much for the idea that accusations alone can ruin a man’s life forever.
Absolutely hate “we went too far” revisionist history. “We all believed women and it went too far.” No we did not all believe women. I was there
