It’s almost as if this wasn’t efficient at all…. Just a billionaire with an ego trying to destroy as much as he can as fast as possible, and then scrambling to avoid the consequences of those stupid decisions
Some federal workers are going back to work.

The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back.

Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired.

The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.

It’s Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl. They keep leaving off the “Dr.”

Pay attention to how Idaho & the msm media infantilize her, calling her a “little girl” and ignoring her academic achievements. None of that is on accident.

Someone just confirmed that some of the most amazing people we all know at the NIH were let go, some after YEARS of excellent service that led to recent promotions. I hope they fight and I hope we can support them in the meantime. This is crazy.

So proud and grateful for the many citizens protesting the authoritarian fascist coup in the US government. It is being censored in the media, but socials have images and videos that bring me so much hope! Thank you for standing up for science, for women, for trans people, the disabled and the poor!

Here's my latest on what's happening inside NCI and NIH. I've seen emails and directives about a lot of this now. There's so much bad stuff.

I think we should be cautious about embracing the "NIH needs reform" nonsense. The sort of reform you are all thinking about bears little resemblance to what the right wingers have in mind. Don't be naive.

If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel.

I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times!

Pls repost 🙏❤️
