I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.
She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.
RIP Elisa.

The administration has detailed their plan for NIH and are carrying it out step by step. Let's spread awareness about what is coming next (pay attention to BLOCK GRANTS in this post ⬇️) and work to prevent it while we still can.
What is going to happen next with regard to NIH from the administration?
