Each year, nearly 5,000 children are diagnosed with brain tumors, which are the leading cause of pediatric cancer-related death. In August, the Trump administration announced it would stop supporting a federally funded network dedicated to researching these deadly cancers.

The $400,000,000 Trump is withholding from Columbia University is no arbitrary amount. It was the amount Donald wanted Columbia to pay him for land he owned. They refused. And Donald was furious. That was 25 years ago. And petty Donald has not forgotten.

The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

We have come up with a new name for a woman who works with the patriarchy to hurt other women, and that name is scab.
Just like scabs that cross a picket line and hurt their fellow laborers, scabs work with the patriarchy to take away women's rights.
Pam Bondi is a scab.

Did you know RFK Jr. wanted to stop infectious disease drug development and research for 8 years? He supports defunding lifesaving research that is used to develop treatments and cures for diseases. [...

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Let's recap.
The victims of a crime, those who tried to stop that crime and those who investigated it, received pardons today to protect themselves from the criminals because the criminals are now in charge.
How quickly things change when people stop paying attention.

(🧵) A thread on possible reasons Inauguration Day is being moved indoors. To be clear—speaking as a Trump biographer—the chances it’s being moved because Trump is concerned about the safety of the crowd in frigid temps is...zero. It’ll be cold but not dangerously so, and he doesn’t value human life.

It’s a fair question to ask how far back in U.S. history you’d have to go to find a presidential administration as anti-woman as this one will be. I assume earlyish 20th c.? Keep in mind a large Trumpist bloc wants to repeal the 19th Am. along with tossing women from certain sectors (e.g. the USAF).
This Administration Doesn’t Care About the Cool Girls
In Trump’s second presidency, all women are disposable.
