The NIH will stop funding research on health effects of climate change, even as the growing severity of climate change stands to make those effects more severe.
I talked to researchers — who haven't been told if this policy will cancel their active grants — about what this means for our health. 🧵

When you blame marginalized groups for the rise of racists like Trump, you're no different than the racists who voted for Trump... because guess who they blame for the way they voted...
86% of Black voters backed Kamala Harris in November, and we’re on the front lines leading up to the election. So no, nobody should be in the business of questioning our political resolve.

So Trump's shutting down of the entire government's funding system for American projects is literally so he can go line by line and target transgender people and other minorities.
