U.S. taxpayers have spent $24 billion on Netanyahu's horrific war in Gaza. Instead of starving children, that money could pay for:
700,000 public housing units
500,000 low-income kids receiving health care
500,000 veterans receiving VA care
600,000 kids in Head Start
Combined.

Posting this to remind everyone to make some noise about this shadow docket case. Also, follow @safa-science.bsky.social if you aren't already.
The Supreme Court is reviewing a vitally important NIH case on its shadow docket.
It is likely that the Court will back Trump, and say his (illegal) grant terminations are ok.
We must speak up now.

Trump’s immigrant threat has played out like Bush’s WMD threat. Media played up the fear. Now he can’t find them (violent gang members) and is deporting children with cancer instead. People are slowly realizing they were lied to.
You cannot overstate how badly the media botched it re public opinion on immigration. People turned off their brains and forgot what was long obvious: Opinion on this is thermostatic. Trump isn't a magical exception.
We need a better discourse on this:

Let’s be very clear: even if you are not a Medicaid recipient, cuts to the program will impact you.
Without Medicaid funds, rural hospitals, maternity wards, and nursing homes will be shuttered.
Having private health insurance won’t do you much good when there’s nowhere to go.

People have actually studied whether international students cross subsidize domestic students. And they do! If 20% of your student body is paying full price, and many of domestic students are not, there is a cross-subsidy, one that allows the university to hire more faculty and open more spots.
