Reminder that in Trump 1.0, legal challenges to agency actions were INCREDIBLY successful. Most administrations win 70+% of lawsuits against their agencies. Trump's administration *lost* 77% of the time.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

* Enter zip code

* Say “My name is ___, I’m a constituent in [town]. (If clinician/scientist, say so)
“The NIH freeze harms research and patients and must be lifted immediately.”

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.
Call Congress, 202-224-3121.
Call Congress, 202-224-3121.
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

So here's where my head is at *rn*:
We can't let the existence of shitbags push us from spaces *we want* to be in. We must take up space. For example, IG is a useful platform that we use to connect.
Now, will it always be that way? NO. Zuck's ownership guarantees that.
So I think what we do is

Useful to file away for frequent reference. Confirmation bias is real -- and when you point out the contradictions or errors in posts that make unsubstantiated claims -- the anger is directed at you and not the person who is spreading b.s.
Can you spot the truth and separate it from lies and fiction? With so much disinformation about to come our way through Meta, X, TikTok, you name it, recognizing the truth will become harder and harder. We blame the other side for being stupid. But, we must rise above and avoid the usual traps.

I cannot stress enough how helpful it is to set a 2x weekly reminder in my phone to call my reps. I don’t call every time but I do call a lot more consistently, which makes *gestures wildly* feel more manageable.
reminder: this is the point of the barrage of batshit appointments
if you are a tiny bit freaked out by each of them it will add up to “too freaked out to do anything about anything”
pick ONE thing at a time to be upset about, decide what action to take on it, then follow through, repeat

the 278 unbelievable things happening per day are a planned emotional DDOS attack; the shitbirds are counting on you perpetually being too glued to the latest thing to do anything about the previous thing
suggestion: pick one action to take per week, in advance, and do it no matter what news breaks

Also, in case folks didn’t know, Adam is Jewish.
In late November, when Adam Lambert talked to me, very thoughtfully, about playing the Emcee in “Cabaret,” he spoke about trying to guide the audience through “If You Could See Her.” He also mentioned that the audience’s drinking is a factor in their response.
Here’s a chunk I left out, for space.
