This is incredibly stressful to our Alzheimer's community (families and researchers). There are Alzheimer Disease Research Centers that are in limbo now - no council meetings means no notice of awards, means all the research we are doing to slow or prevent this disease is paused indefinitely.
This. 👇👇👇👇

No study sections, no council meetings = nothing funded. If it's not in the federal register, not happening. Nothing in there after 2/20/25 re: NIH.

Era commons is not being updated. Still says my Advisory Council Meeting was held on 1/28/25 at 3pm. It was not.

Clearly.

1/2
I still don't think it's sunk in to many that after February 20th, there ain't no study sections.

Bernie Sanders: "The struggle against Trump, the struggle against oligarchy, which is led by Elon Musk ... that's not gonna be won here in Capitol Hill. It's gonna be won by millions of people all over this country standing up and saying, 'we fought and died for democracy.'"

“Democrats have no power to set the terms of the debate on their own, or to advance their own priorities: the far right alone can make policy proposals, to which the Democrats can merely flip their thumbs up or down. Many of them are giving the thumbs up.”
Why are the Democrats so spineless? | Moira Donegan
No wonder the American public thinks of Democrats as out of touch, opportunistic, and cowardly. That is because they are

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

During World War II, the U.S. government forcibly took hundreds of thousands of people of Japanese ancestry from their homes and held them in incarceration camps.

Fred Korematsu was arrested and convicted for defying the government’s order and refusing to go to the camps.

RFK Jr. used the term “gold standard” referring to clinical research studies multiple times during today’s confirmation hearing yet when asked his definition of it, he proceeded to trip over his words and the best he could come up with is that study results should be able to be duplicated. #rfkjr

I will not give in to the lies.
I will not give in to the fear.

Thank You @jimacosta.bsky.social
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Can we just take a minute, without trying to rationalize the events that are occurring, but to acknowledge the emotions? Many people are genuinely scared right now.

What a time to have decided to pursue a research-focused, global health component for my doctoral degree.

When in doubt eat a carne asada burrito and read a good ass book.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Started reading this book today and it’s like a playbook of every tactic being used right now.

🚫CANCEL AMAZON🚫

Give your money to local vendors.

Thrift stores.

Barter with neighbors.

Don't give any more money to the capitalist oligarchy if you can.

Or where you can cut back.

Start a garden.

This is the strongest way to resist.

Stop giving them money.

Keep speaking out against lies.
