More evidence Musk and the DOGE Boys have no clue as to what they are doing. I hope they don’t purge those 150 year olds.

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union.
If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South.
Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Black History Month, Public Health Edition
Dr. Charles Richard Drew pioneered large scale blood storage and became "the father of blood banks". He was the first ever director of the American Red Cross blood bank, and protested against racial segregation for blood donation.

If you are upset about the devastating cuts to science, remember to call your elected officials and let them know about it.
Regardless of if they are red or blue, supportive of science or not, they all track calls. Calls matter. Do it!

Hello, my name is [Your Namel, and I'm a [scientist, researcher, concerned citizen, etc.] from [Your City/State]. I'm calling to urge [Representative/Senator's Namel to support NIH and NSF funding and to immediately reverse the Trump administration's decision to cap NIH indirect costs at 15%.
This decision will cause a massive funding shortfall at research institutions across the country, forcing layoffs, reducing support staff, and jeopardizing critical scientific research. Indirect costs aren't wasteful. They pay for essential infrastructure, maintenance, and support staff to ensure that research can happen. This sudden change undermines years of financial planning and creates a devastating budget crisis overnight.
NIH and NSF funding doesn't just support scientific progress— they fuel the U.S. economy. Every $1 NIH invests results in $2.46 of economic activity. NIH-funded research has led to significant breakthroughs that improve human health. In 2023 alone, NIH funding supported over 400,000 jobs and generated nearly $93 billion in economic activity. Cutting indirect costs will mean fewer jobs, fewer discoveries, and a weakened global standing in science and innovation.
Please publicly oppose this NIH policy change and work with congress to reverse it. I also ask that [Representative/Senator's Namel support sustained, robust funding for NIH and NSF to protect the future of American scientific research and its economic benefits. Can I count on them to take action?
Thank you for your time and for supporting American research and innovation. I appreciate your leadership on this critical issue.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dcpvyzm4ou74j6zcz67il5fk/bafkreicfkiqfqxi6cmripgkhskinaatja6wsolmjc52ssuxqfr665satti@jpeg)

US military budget: $850 billion
US National Institutes of Health indirect costs: $9 billion
That they are so focused on cutting the budget of the latter says everything.

stopping the flow of HIV drugs to poor countries and demanding that foreign doctors stop distributing the meds already sitting in their clinics is so evil it is hard to wrap my head around. one day when when this is all history i will struggle to forgive anyone who voted for him
