The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations.

Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance.

Nobody fucking wants any of this.

At 7:59 AM this morning, Bhattacharya and RFK Jr. both received the email with the scathing Bethesda Declaration attached.

300+ NIH employees are calling out leadership for putting:
❌ Politics before lives
❌ Loyalty before science
❌ Ideology before the American people

This is unprecedented.
A protest scene in front of NIH headquarters, with people holding signs like “Brains Love Science” and “My Kid’s Careers Require Science.” Text emphasizes that the Bethesda Declaration was sent to RFK Jr. and Bhattacharya and outlines the NIH employees’ accusations against leadership.

They unlocked the doors, turned off all the alarms, dismantled the guardrails, fired the watchers, and have damaged or removed endless safeguards across the spectra of our daily existence. All so, presumably, the rich get richer, and Trump doesn't have his feelings hurt with "bad news."
