Cancer research, long protected, feels ‘devastating’ effects under Trump
Cancer research has had bipartisan support. But Trump administration budget cuts and delays threaten to reverse progress of recent years, experts say.

My Kingdom and more for anyone to realize that awarding yourself a government contract is not a conflict of interest. It's corruption. When the bank teller takes the money out of the cash drawer and puts it in his pocket that's not a conflict of interest either.

I have been saying this for weeks:
“The only possible way for American institutions to survive this administration is for them to collectively bargain, like unions, and to come to one another’s defense.” Imagine if all the universities united and took a stand rather than complying with Yahtzees.

Trump’s Assault Demands a United Front
The president’s strategy for attacking the media and academia is to divide and conquer. There’s a solution to that.

Such an important point. Movements for justice begin in steps and proceed through stumbles and successes. The key is to keep trying, in community for the cause.
None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

We just witnessed Trump’s MAGA members of Congress sell out working class Americans giving tax cuts to Billionaires and slashing Medicaid and SNAP.
In PA all 10 Repubs voted YES which will hurt over 5 MILLION Pennsylvanians- 3.1 Million (Medicaid) and over 2 Million (SNAP)

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”
Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.
Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.
This is what "merit" means to them.
